Happy New Year! Welcome to your daily roundup of what’s new on Netflix, where we’ll take a look at all the new shows and movies that just landed on the service to bring in the new year.
We should note that, overall, Netflix had a net loss on titles today. In total, he lost 148 titles compared to the 69 novelties he added.
How does today’s haul compare to the additions on January 1 of the previous year (this can give you an indication of how many titles Netflix has under license):
- January 1, 2022 – 85 new releases
- 2021 – 53 new releases
- 2019 – 114 new releases
Looking ahead, we have your preview for the next 7 days and a full preview for the rest of January 2023.
Before we dive into the full list, here are three things you should be looking at today:
Best new movies and series on Netflix for January 1, 2023
Kaleidoscope (Limited Series – Watch in any order!)
Classification: TV-MA
Language: English
Gender: Action, Crime, Drama
To emit: Giancarlo Esposito, Rufus Sewell, Paz Vega, Rosaline Elbay, Jai Courtney, Tati Gabrielle
Writer: eric garcia
Execution time: 50 minutes
Giancarlo Esposito heads up this innovative new Netflix series that allows you to watch the show in any order. The premise of the series is that a major heist is to take place, with each episode taking place before, during, or after the heist itself.
Reviews have been positive thus far, with the show already having a 6.7 on IMDb, but very few reviews are available at press time.
The Mindy Project (Seasons 1-6)
Classification: TV-14
Language: English
Gender: Comedy
To emit: Mindy Kaling Ike Barinholtz Ed Weeks
Writer: mindy kaling
Execution time: 30 minutes
Awards: Nominated for 1 Primetime Emmy. 8 wins and 26 nominations in total
Netflix added several big new licensed shows to the service today, with one that flew under the radar of most people (not ours, as we’ve got it covered) being all six seasons of Mindy Kaling. The Mindy Project. That also includes all Hulu seasons, with this being the first time a Hulu Original has ended up on Netflix.
Here’s what to expect if you’ve never seen the show:
“In an effort to straighten out her complicated personal life, a top doctor seeks to overcome her obsession with rom-coms and find a soul mate.”
Rocky Movie Collection
Classification: PG
Language: English
Gender: Drama, Sport
People love it when Netflix can license an entire movie franchise instead of select titles (looking at you, Transformers), and that’s the case with Rocky today with all five movies added today.
The franchise follows Rocky, a small-time boxer from Philadelphia who isn’t going anywhere, until an incredible opportunity to fight the heavyweight champion of the world ignites a fire inside him.
