Freezing outside? Perfect. Stay in and stream the best new TV shows and movies this month of January 2026 on Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, and more. From Bridgerton to The Night Manager, we've got your winter binge-watch survival guide. Blankets optional, snacks mandatory.
It's day 2 of January 2026. The holidays are over, your resolutions are also already over of course, and stepping outside feels like nature’s way of saying “no thanks.” So why fight it?
Crank up the heater, grab a fleece blanket, microwave that questionable third-day chili, and park yourself in front of the TV. Streaming services have come locked, loaded, and absolutely unhinged (in a good way) with new TV series, returning fan-favorites, binge-worthy movies, and the kind of streaming content that justifies staying inside for the next 31 days.
Netflix: Still Carrying the World’s Binge Habits on Its Back
New year, new shows, same irresistible algorithm. Netflix is kicking off 2026 with:
Run Away – From thriller king Harlan Coben, comes another “how did I just watch 8 episodes in one night?” experience.
His & Hers – Romance meets murder meets awkward dinner parties. This twisty series has everyone suspecting everyone.
People We Meet on Vacation – That book you pretended to read is now a romantic comedy!
Marcello Hernández: American Boy – Need to laugh instead of crying about your heating bill? This stand-up special brings the 🔥.
Plus: Bridgerton Season 4 (Part 1!) drops later this month. Get ready for scandal, corsets, and at least three marriages per episode.
Don’t miss the low-key additions like District 9, The Meaning of Life, and more classic films sliding into Netflix’s DMs this month.
HBO Max (Max): Prestige and Prequels, Baby
If you like your television served with British accents and slow burns, HBO Max is giving:
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – The latest Game of Thrones prequel. Yes, it’s back. No, there are still no dragons. Yet.
The Pitt Season 2 – If you missed this satirical college drama last year, start catching up. Think Succession, but make it campus.
Mel Brooks: The 99-Year-Old Man! – A heartfelt, hilarious look at the legend. Warning: May cause spontaneous viewings of Spaceballs.
Disney+: Superheroes, Singing, & Sea Creatures
Parents, rejoice. Marvel nerds, rise. Disney+ wants your whole household to tune in:
Wonder Man – The latest Marvel series to dominate your group chats.
Pupstruction Construction – For the kid who thinks every problem can be solved with a bulldozer.
The Little Mermaid (series) – Ariel’s world expands this January — and the songs are actually catchy (again).
Hulu: Messy Relationships and Murder-y Vibes
It wouldn’t be a new year without some psychological drama:
Tell Me Lies (New Season) – More toxicity, more lies, more “WHY are you still with him?”
The Beauty Mini-Series – A mysterious island, beautiful people, and deeply unsettling secrets. We’re in.
Prime Video: Sleek, Stylish, Suspenseful
Amazon’s streaming arm is back with…
The Night Manager Season 2 – Tom Hiddleston is suave, shady, and somehow still trustworthy.
Steal & The Wrecking Crew – Action films made for couch-thumping adrenaline addicts.
Peacock & Apple TV+: The Underrated MVPs
The Traitors Season 4 (Peacock) – Reality TV but with more lying and fake British castles.
Hijack Season 2 (Apple TV+) – Tense, terrifying, and probably not ideal for pre-flight viewing.
Shrinking Season 2 (Apple TV+) – Therapy has never been so funny (or dysfunctional).
BONUS: The X-Files Streams Free on Pluto TV
Yup, you read that right. The full series of The X-Files is now streaming for free on Pluto TV. No subscription, no excuses. Mulder and Scully are waiting — and aliens are very much real (at least in January vibes).
If it’s too cold to think, walk, or function — great news... you don’t have to! Your couch is calling, the remote is your sword, and the streaming gods have smiled upon us this month. So stay in, stay warm, and stream like your social life depends on it. Until April, it kinda does.
