Pictures via Netflix & Sony Pictures
A packed mid-January week is rolling onto Netflix US, bringing with it a little something for just about every kind of viewer. The headline is Netflix’s biggest original movie of the year so far in The Rip, plus the theatrical-to-streaming debut of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Add in some returning favorites, a new Agatha Christie adaptation, the final season of The Upshaws, and more, it’s going to be a busy one.
As for removals, it’s your last chance to watch the movies Donnie Darko, The Teachers’ Lounge, and Confessions of a Shopaholic before they leave Netflix. We’d also recommend you finish watching Hightown and House of Lies if you’re midway through, since both end at the beginning of next week.
For more on what’s still to come on Netflix throughout January 2026, keep it locked here on What’s on Netflix.
What to Watch on Netflix This Week
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025)
Coming to Netflix: Saturday
Sadly, original films like A Big Bold Beautiful Journey don’t find much love in theaters nowadays, with people mostly venturing out to see franchise tentpoles. A tragedy, given that original films like A Big Bold Beautiful Journey used to be bread and butter for the industry. I digress, but if you missed out on this romantic comedy with a splash of sci-fi, Netflix will give you the first chance to watch it after its theatrical and VOD windows.
Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell headline the film, with the plot revolving around their characters, Sarah and David, who are single strangers who meet at a wedding and somehow get drawn into an adventure that allows them to relive important memories from both of their pasts.
The Rip (2026)
Coming to Netflix: Friday
People We Meet on Vacation may have been Netflix’s first big new movie of 2026, but The Rip is definitely the biggest new movie so far of 2026 if you catch my drift that’s taking the mid-January slot that Back in Action occupied in 2025. Like Back in Action, we’re getting some action plus some big movie stars, albeit The Rip is much more gritty in tone.
The official logline reads: “Trust frays when a team of Miami cops discovers millions in cash inside a run-down stash house, calling everyone — and everything — into question.”
It’s got a killer cast with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck headlining (which is usually a surefire sign we’ve got a killer movie on the way) with Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Kyle Chandler rounding out the main names.
This is the first of at least two Ben Affleck movies scheduled for Netflix in 2026, with the other being Animals, which was confirmed for a 2026 release last week.
Agatha Christie’s Sevel Dials (Limited Series)
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
Agatha Christie’s novels are absolutely timeless, and many have been brought to the screen over the years in both film and television, but Netflix has yet to take a stab at bringing one of her many classics to life. That changes this week with the arrival of a new British limited series (consisting of only three episodes!).
“In this timeless mystery by the re-invented Queen of Crime, a fearless young aristocrat, Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent, investigates the murder of her love interest in her family home,” reads the synopsis of the new series, which employs an all-star cast including Mia McKenna-Bruce leading alongside Corey Mylchreest, Helena Bonham Carter, and Martin Freeman.
We’ve got coverage throughout the week, so stay tuned!
