Once the holiday season comes to an end, what better way to relax and unwind than by sitting on the couch with cookies and hot cocoa, while bingeing on your favorite Netflix shows. The new year promises to entertain you with exciting Netflix original films and series, as well as much-loved theatrical hits. Check out what’s new below.

Originals
When it comes to Netflix’s new content, we know there are always a few surprises. In January, there are a handful of original films and series that cater to every genre. Thrill seekers can enjoy The Open House (Jan. 19), a horror/thriller that follows a teen and his mother as they move into a new house with a dark force. You might recognize Dylan Minnette from the original series 13 Reasons Why.

Jack Black and Jenny Slate star in The Polka King (Jan. 12), a film that follows local Pennsylvania polka legend Jan Lewan, who develops a plan to get rich but winds up in jail.

Must-Watch
Some of our picks to binge on in the new year include the classic Superbad (Jan. 1), which follows two friends’ wacky adventures as they try to buy booze for a party to impress the girls. Another comedy to devour is the Johnny Depp-starrer Mortdecai (Jan. 17). It tells the story of debonair art dealer Charlie Mortdecai as he travels the globe, searching for a stolen painting said to contain the code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.

For the fashion-obsessed folks, we recommend Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards (Jan. 15), an in-depth portrait of Manolo Blahnik, the man regarded by most influential fashion figures as “the best shoe-maker of the 20th and 21st centuries.”

Thrills and Chills
If you’re feeling like a spooky night in, a highly recommended film is The Babadook (Jan. 1), which follows a widowed mother who has to face her son’s fear of a monster lurking in the house. But can this sinister presence be real?

Another one to watch is Murder on the Cape (Jan. 1), based on the Christa Worthington case. When a fashion writer is murdered, the immediate suspect is the fisherman with whom she was having an affair, who is also the father of her child.

For more thrills, 47 Meters Down (Jan 19) is a film that tells the story of two sisters who go cage diving in Mexico, but what starts out as the experience of a lifetime soon becomes a nightmare for the sisters as their cage detaches from their boat and sinks 47 meters to the ocean floor, which is teeming with Great White Sharks.

Drama
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (Jan. 2) is an adventure film to not miss out on. A down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds his life on the line when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea — including Captain Jack.

All Eyez on Me (Jan 5) is a biographical drama that chronicles the life of late rapper Tupac Shakur, whose politically charged lyrics are still an inspiration for major artists today.

Of course, Edward Cullen is on this list. Don’t judge. The final installment in the series is now available: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2 (Jan 5). If that isn’t up your alley, maybe watch Chloe Grace Moretz go on the run after four waves of deadly attacks by extraterrestrials in The Fifth Wave (Jan. 17).

Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous 2018! ~Marriska Fernandes
