January is always a long month. It’s dark, it’s cold, there’s a dragged out stint between pay cheques, and there’s those post-Christmas blues. Frankly, there’s never been a more important time to lean completely into the wonderful hug that is Netflix.
The TV streaming service have revealed everything they’ll be releasing for January 2022, and, as well as some bloody brilliant films we’d almost completely forgotten about (perfect for passing a slow Sunday), there’s some new seasons of some Netflix favourites on the horizon too.
Scroll down for our list of the best films and TV programmes coming to Netflix this month…
Silver Linings Playbook
The 2012 romantic comedy is now on Netflix. It follows the story of a man with bipolar disorder who is desperate to win his wife back, and a widow who’s desperately seeking a dance partner. It might not sound like an obvious plot for a film, but both Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are absolutely brilliant in it.
Lands on Netflix 1st January 2022.
Marie Antoinette
A classic Kirsten Dunst teen movie which follows the Marie Antoinette era leading up to the French Revolution. An easy watch on the sofa with a cup of tea, a blanket and those leftover Christmas chocolates.
Lands on Netflix 1st January 2022.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer)
Hands up who fancies a nostalgic teen horror film night? Grab the popcorn, turn off the lights and get comfy because the 1997 slasher film featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, Freddie Prinze Jr and Jennifer Love Hewitt is now ready for your viewing pleasure. The follow up is on there too, in case you fancy a double whammy.

After Life (season three)
The third season of Ricky Gervais’s After Life hits Netflix later this month. The show is a black comedy drama which follows the life of a man named Tony (played by Gervais) in the immediate aftermath of losing his wife to cancer. It’s funny and heartbreaking in equal measures.
Lands on Netflix on 14th January 2022.
Blippi: Adventures
In riveting news for every parent of a toddler, Blippi is coming to Netflix. Will this be the worst or best thing to happen to you? We have no idea. The popular YouTube presenter will be arriving on Netflix UK with two shows, Blippi: Adventures and Blippi: School Supply Scavenger Hunt, so prepare to have something else to throw at your little one whilst you try and attempt to drink a hot cup of tea.
Lands on Netflix on 14th January 2022.
Too Hot To Handle (season three)
Fancy some low-brow easy-to-watch reality TV? Let us introduce you to the third season of Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle. It’s not wildly different to Love Island, but the goal is the opposite – for a group of outrageously attractive strangers to stay on a decadent paradise island together and not have sex. That’s right, celibacy wins them the grand prize of $100,000 (which reduces every time a rule is broken).
Lands on Netflix on 19th January 2022.
Ozark (season four, part one)
The fourth season of crime thriller Ozark returns to Netflix later this month. This is the final season of the show and is split into two parts, with the first seven episodes available in January and the final seven being released later in the year. The show follows a family who relocate to Missouri after a money laundering scheme for a drug cartel goes wrong and sees them land in all kids of fresh trouble.
Available on Netflix January 21st 2022.
In From The Cold
The first exciting Netflix Original coming this year is In From The Cold which focuses on the story of an American single mum who is forced to confront her past as a Russian spy. There will be eight episodes of the thriller to stream when it’s released.
Available on Netflix January 28th 2022.
The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window
And the Netflix series with the longest name ever? This one. A brand new dark comedy mini series featuring Kristen Bell in the lead role. The plot follows Kristen’s character as she becomes enchanted by a handsome new neighbour who moves in across the street, that is until she witnesses a possible murder.
Available on Netflix January 28th 2022.
