In January 2022, Netflix is bringing a revival of a successful telenovela, the return of the Byrdes, a TV series based on a podcast, a dark comedy thriller TV series, and more documentaries. 2021 was a good year for Netflix, which brought back some of its most successful original movies and TV shows, expanded its already extensive catalogue of documentaries, and provided a home to various movies that either skipped a theatrical release or had a limited one. Netflix will carry on adding new licensed and original content every month, and it’s starting 2022 off on the right foot.

December welcomed movies like the western drama The Power of the Dog, the Holiday rom-com Single All The Way, the drama The Unforgivable, the animated movie Back to the Outback, the Italian drama The Hand of God, and Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up, along with the final seasons of Lost in Space and Money Heist, season 4 of Aggretsuko, season 2 of The Witcher and Emily In Paris, season 4 of Cobra Kai, and season 6 of Queer Eye. When it comes to licensed content, January will see a bunch of new content for all ages and tastes, most notably 300, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Girl, Interrupted, Terminator 2, 3, and Terminator Salvation, David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Midnight in Paris, Phantom Thread, and more.
