What’s new on Netflix and what’s leaving in January 2025

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.

So, for this month's picks for the three underrated movies on Max that you need to watch in January, we won't go back farther than 29 years.

Our choices for January 2025 include one of Jim Carrey's darkest comedies to date, an underappreciated fantasy action film, and even a Max original that deals with YA romance and mental illness.
