And as we reflect on the best content 2021 had to offer, it's also now time to look forward to the new year. It won't be all that different: we'll once again be planted on the couch waiting on a pandemic to end. But at least we'll have lots of TV and movies to accompany us, because Netflix has unveiled its January offerings.
Highlights from this month's offerings include Season 3 of Snowpiercer, a new unscripted series from one-fifth of the Fab 5 (Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness), and another helping of hotties in the third round of Too Hot to Handle. Elsewhere, Kristen Bell-starring thriller-comedy The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window will titillate and captivate, while Jason Bateman will return in Season 4, Part 1 of Ozark.
Starting off hot on New Year's Day, Netflix is also due to deliver a healthy dose of classics, including 2011 pandemic thriller Contagion (in case you needed another reminder of a disease running rampant across the world) alongside equally spooky The Blair Witch Project and both Saw III and Saw VI. If horror isn't your genre, we've also the Jason Biggs-led 2008 romcom My Best Friend's Girl, or Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows starring Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.
With all that new content, the streamer will be waving a final farewell to some favourites at the end of the month, starting on January 1 with mid-aughts classic Mean Girls — you'll just have to find someone else to butter your muffin in January. Bronies and normies alike will be heartbroken to learn that the first eight seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic will be departing alongside all seven seasons of Parks and Rec on January 22.
But let's not dwell on our losses. Watch a trailer for this month's releases below, and while you're at it, check out what's heading to Disney+ in January.
