The first month of the year can set the tone for everything that comes after. If the new titles in January are any indication of what’s to come, Netflix is starting 2025 off with a bang. On the very first day of the month, Netflix will add Interstellar, Inception, the Rush Hour trilogy, the original Spider-Man trilogy, and more. Two days later, the classic characters Wallace and Gromit are back in a new animated film, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.

On January 6, WWE Raw comes to Netflix with a stacked episode of main event-worthy matches. Later in the month, The Night Agent returns for its second season, as does XO, Kitty. And as part of Netflix’s deal with AMC, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will be arriving as well.

5 underrated movies on Netflix you need to watch in January 2025
A man that holds ropes on a ship for In the Heart of the Sea.

Welcome to January. A new month means more movies are heading to Netflix. Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz are teaming up in the new action comedy Back in Action, which starts streaming on January 17. Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is already one of the most popular movies on Netflix. You can also see if Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is worth the hype.

While the high-profile movies dominate the Netflix homepage, there are thousands of other movies ready to be streamed. Some of them are extremely underrated and deserve a new audience. These five films fit the mold. Our choices include a Ron Howard epic, a Fast and Furious entry, and a charming crime comedy.

if you have to watch one netflix show this january 2025 stream younger tv hero

Netflix may be the top streamer for original programing, but it's also a digital afterlife for shows that aired on broadcast networks, cable channels, or even other streaming services like the recently resurgent Evil. This month, our pick for the one Netflix show you need to watch in January 2025 is Younger, a drama/comedy that premiered on TV Land in 2015.

Prior to the debut of Younger, series creator Darren Star had a proven track record in television including Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place, and Sex and the City. Younger lived up that pedigree by having a six-season run on TV Land before it moved to Paramount+ for its seventh and final season. This show already has a following, but Netflix has a way of helping old programing to reach new heights. Ahead of Younger's Netflix premiere on January 7, we're sharing the reasons why you should stream this show.
The premise is still timely in 2024
