Happy New Year and as per usual on Netflix, the first day of the year brings with it plenty of new content to watch through. Today, we’ve got over 100 brand new titles to watch including plenty of movie returns, new series and more.
Why does Netflix get lots of new content on January 1st? It’s because that’s when a lot of licenses to content come up for renewal which is also generally the case for most months on the first day.
Today didn’t just see new titles added, however. As you’ve probably worked out by now both Frasier and Friends departed from the service as did many other movies.
For the purpose of this article, we’ll take you through the new Netflix Originals here with the full list but we’ll have more on the best movies added today over the weekend.
Messiah (Season 1)
Genre: Drama
Cast: Mehdi Dehbi, Michelle Monaghan, Jane Adams, Weaver Bryce
This series sees a man emerge with a huge following but quickly attracts scrutiny as authorities to work out whether he’s a con-man or the real deal.
As you can probably guess with a name and subject matter like this one, it hasn’t released without controversy.
The Circle (Season 1)
Genre: Game-Show, Reality-TV
Cast: Sophie Willan, Alex Hobern, Woody Cook, James Doran
Netflix’s first adaptation (the US one) of the British series The Circle dropped on Netflix today. It’ll see an odd schedule (we’ll post the full release calendar for this soon) with new episodes releasing slowly over the next month.
The concept of the show merges Big Brother with social media as contestants vote others out.
Spinning Out (Season 1)
Genre: Drama, Sport
Cast: Kaya Scodelario, January Jones, Will Kemp, Willow Shields, Evan Roderick, David James Elliott
The final big Netflix Original series added today is Spinning Out, a sports series.
Here’s how Netflix describes the drama:
A figure skating Olympic hopeful struggles to balance love, family and fragile mental health as her dream of winning takes a dizzying hold.
