Cunk on Life

Release date: January 2

From a mini-series to an entire feature-length movie sequel, catch documentarian Philomena Cunk as she continues to seek answers to life's biggest questions, all while confounding philosophers and academics with her signature deadpan comedy. 

With Love, Meghan

Release date: January 15

Whether you love her or you hate her, you have to admit you're curious about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. In her much-anticipated Netflix lifestyle series, follow Meghan as she supplies you with little tips and tricks she uses in her kitchen and beyond to give her loved ones the royal treatment they deserve.

XO, Kitty: Season 2

Release date: January 16

After a very messy first semester at KISS, Kitty is determined to keep drama out of her friend group this time around, but when has that ever gone down well? With unresolved feelings, new faces, and another layer of family secrets, will Kitty's return to Seoul be the fresh start she wanted, or is this another messy semester just waiting to unfold? Stream it to find out, and be on the look-out for the familiar face of a boy we've loved before. *wink*

Here's what to stream on Disney+ this January:

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live

Release date: January 8

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live picks up five years after Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is supposedly killed. We soon find out—and we're not spoiling anything here, it's literally in the trailer and title—that he's alive. He was rescued or taken (the jury's still out on this one) by the Civic Republic Military. The series follows his attempts to find and reunite with the love of his life, Michonne (Danai Gurira), who has gone through a lot in the past five years. 

And while this writer has admittedly gotten fatigue from The Walking Dead, especially after that one character's brutal death (you know who I mean.), I might just end up picking up this series if only to find some sort of closure to the OG. Maybe this might finally be the end we needed or deserved. 

Unmasked

Release date: January 15

What are you willing to do in the name of content? 

Unmasked serves twists, turns, and a peek into the cutthroat world behind the headlines. This comedy-thriller Korean drama follows Trigger, an elite squad of investigative journalists who’ve made headlines—and enemies. After airing a story that’s too hot to handle, their careers are in danger. The only way to get out of it? Unmask the insider leaking their secrets and crack a 20-year-old cold case about a vanished A-list actor. 

If you love high-stakes journalism, mystery, and betrayals, then this is the show to binge this January.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Release date: January 29

If Agatha All Along brought back your faith to the MCU, you might as well give this new Marvel Animated series a shot, too. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a reimagined take on the early days of Peter Parker, a.k.a. our favorite teen hero, Spider-Man. Watch Peter Parker strike that balance between being a full-time high school student and a superhero on the side in this alternate universe. If you think you already know Spider-Man's story, then think again. Plot twist: Norman Osbourne, a.k.a. the Green Goblin, is Peter's mentor, not his enemy.  

P.S.: This will also be the debut of the first Filipino Marvel Superhero, Wave. So if you want to ride high on the Pinoy pride train, you can't miss this series.

Here's what to stream on Prime Video this January:

The Rig Season 2

Release date: January 2

The Rig is back, and it’s heading to even chillier waters. After a rogue tsunami destroys the Kinloch Bravo, its surviving crew is whisked away to The Stac. At this secret Arctic facility, the trapped crew must deal with the emotional and physical fallout of Season 1 and contend with swirling conspiracies, corporate conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world’s ocean.

On Call

Release date: January 9

From the producers of Law and Order comes another police drama that mixes adrenaline-pumping action with intrigue.  On Call follows an ambitious rookie (Brandon Larracuente) and a protective and secretive veteran officer (Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario) duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California. Watch the pair serve and protect their community in a mix of first-person POV, bodycam, hand-held camera footage, and poignant, cinematic drama shots.

Here's what to stream on HBO Max this January:

The Pitt

Release date: January 10

From the folks who brought us the long-running medical drama ER and the political power drama West Wing comes another high-octane medical drama to fuel a new generation's medical school dreams. 

The Pitt follows several healthcare workers in a modern-day Pittsburgh emergency room. But instead of the usual drama that spans days, weeks, and months in just one season, The Pitt follows the format of the action drama 24 in that the entire first season takes place across one 15-hour emergency room shift, with each episode representing "real time."

Harley Quinn: Season 5

Release date: January 16

Your favorite sapphic anti-heroes are back! Harley Quinn and her partner Poison Ivy have left toxic ol' Gotham for a more livable place in Metropolis. All seems well in the bright and shiny new city, with Ivy even getting to lead the city's environmental initiative. Yes, it's all good on the surface, but somewhere out there, a big bad is looming, and Harley and Ivy's fish-out-of-water presence in Metropolis might just reel him into their location.
