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.
Your support makes all the difference.As 2025 arrives, Netflix is kicking off its new year with a busy schedule of film and TV releases.
While more than 200 titles are being removed in January, there will be even more arrivals, including Western miniseries American Primeval, from Friday Night Lights creator Peter Berg, a documentary about late chat show host Jerry Springer and, in the US, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, which aired in the UK over Christmas.
There will also be follow-up seasons for Mo, The Recruit and The Night Agent, which became a massive sleeper hit for the streaming service upon its original release in March 2023.
Season two of the government conspiracy thriller sees Gabriel Basso return as FBI agent Peter Sutherland – and new episodes will be the perfect binge watch going into the new year.
To celebrate what would have been Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday in January, Baz Luhrmann’s biopic on the singer, starring Austin Butler, will also be added as will Hereditary, which is considered not only the most frightening horror film in years, but the greatest, also.
Find the full list of every movie and TV series being added to Netflix in January 2025 below.
