Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The nights are getting brighter, but that doesn’t mean Netflix is taking its foot off the wheel.

After a busy start to 2019, the streaming service – fresh from cancelling its two surviving Marvel television shows – has plenty to offer in the way or films and series, the majority of which are original projects.

Ricky Gervais returns with a brand new series, After Life, in which the comedian plays a journalist who adopts a gruff new persona in the wake of his wife’s death. The series sees him reunite with his Extras co-star Ashley Benson.

Then there’s Turn Up Charlie, a new comedy co-created by and starring none other than Idris Elba, the third season of beloved factual series Queer Eye and the final part of Arrested Development season five.

You can find a full list of everything joining Netflix in January – including BBC series Bodyguard, Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas, Chiwetel Ejiofor's directorial debut The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and and new Oscar Isaac film Triple Frontier – below.
