Netflix in January 2017: Everything coming to and leaving

Neil Patrick Harris debuts and Voltron is back

Netflix

January will be a solid month for Netflix subscribers who are looking for new series and original films to binge during the cold days.

A Series of Unfortunate Events, the show based on Lemony Snicket’s best-selling children’s books, will finally premiere. The series stars Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf, the nefarious relative looking to get his hands on the Baudelaire children’s inheritance after their parents perish in a terrible and suspicious fire. Based on early trailers and promotional images released by Netflix, the show will appeal to those who are fans of director Tim Burton’s aesthetic. If you like Edward Scissorhands or Frankenweenie, A Series of Unfortunate Events may be what you need.

On the animated front, Voltron: Legendary Defender will return for its highly anticipated second season in January. The show ended on a cliffhanger last season and during a panel at San Diego Comic Con, the producers said the new series will focus quite a bit on that revelation. The entire cast will be reuniting for the series and it will be released in full on Jan. 20.

Movie buffs will also be happy with the selection that Netflix is bringing in the new year. All five Superman movies from before Zack Snyder took over with DC Films will be available to stream as of Jan. 1, as will E.T., V for Vendetta and Ratchet and Clank.

Unfortunately, Netflix will also be getting rid of TV series and films to make room for the new additions. Fast and Furious and Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift will leave the streaming service as of Jan. 1, as will all the 30 for 30 documentaries that ESPN puts out.

The full list of movies and TV series that are coming to and leaving Netflix in the new year is listed below.
