January is usually referred to as the theatrical industry’s dumping ground, where projects destined to fail are shoved out into the world to die a slow and painful death at the box office. Obviously, next month could see almost every new release face a similar fate as business is still showing no signs of recovery, but Netflix are looking to buck the trend and rehabilitate January’s reputation as a safe haven for fresh content, and the streaming service have some major original movies and TV shows on the horizon.

The most exciting without a doubt is History of Swear Words, which sees Nicolas Cage hosting a six-episode series that delves into the origins and multiple uses of profanity. Anyone who doesn’t have their curiosity immediately piqued by the idea of Hollywood’s most manic and memeable actor fronting a show where the episodes are titled “F*ck...

With 2020 now coming to an end – thank goodness – and a new year finally in sight, it’s time to begin looking forward to what all the various streaming platforms will be bringing us to kick off 2021 with. And after Disney Plus was first out of the gate to announce their lineup yesterday, Netflix has now followed, revealing a huge range of content set to drop in January that consists of hit movies, beloved TV shows and a whole lot more.

Of course, the 1st of the month is the busiest day and brings mostly licensed titles with it, as is often the case. But the following days look to keep up the momentum, with a ton of exciting films and television series on the way, all combining for what appears to be a fantastic month of new content.

Netflix has confirmed most of its upcoming content for July, so it’s time to take a look at what’s on the horizon. It’s a quiet-ish month for the streaming giant, but we assume it’ll only get quieter in the next part of the year as the industry shutdown continues to impact release schedules everywhere. Nonetheless, Netflix still has some intriguing projects to offer, for the time being.

July will see the return of The Umbrella Academy for its highly anticipated second season, but Netflix also has a few new gambles in the form of its Unsolved Mysteries and The Baby-Sitters Club reboots, along with a brand new spin on the Arthurian legend with its Lady of the Lake series, Cursed. Elsewhere, Charlize Theron stars as an immortal badass in comic book adaptation The Old Guard and we’ll take another trip into teen rom-com territory with...

You know, plenty of streaming services would treat the dog days of summer as an excuse to slow down. At Netflix, however, the content buffet is still open, baby. Despite the coronavirus pandemic shutting down all of Hollywood for an extended period of time, Netflix’s new releases for July 2020 are still jam-packed with a host of familiar originals.

The blockbuster this month is probably The Umbrella Academy season 2. The next installment for the Hargreeves family arrives on July 31. And if that’s too long of a wait for you, Netflix gets the month off to a strong start with a string of originals as well. Unsolved Mysteries arrives on July 1, followed by Warrior Nun on July 2, and The Baby-Sitter’s Club on July 3. That’s not even to mentioned the feminist take on Arthurian legend, Cursed, which premiers on July 17.

There are a couple of intriguing original movies to consider this month as well.

Exclusive: Netflix is bringing back its hit animated preschool series Hello Ninja for a 10-episode third season. The renewal comes less than a month after the April 24 launch of season two. Netflix is targeting a fall release for season 3.

Based on the book from N.D. Wilson, Hello Ninja chronicles the magical, problem-solving adventures of Bff’s Wesley, Georgie and their cat Pretzel, through an imaginary world where each episode they save the day by transforming into ninjas.

The show stars Lukas Engel (Paw Patrol) as Wesley, Zoey Siewert (Nina’s World) as Georgie, and Sam Vincent as beloved sidekick, Pretzel. All three are set to reprise their roles in season three.

“Hello Ninja began in such a personal way for me—as just one father making up ninja stories for his daughter,” said Wilson. “It’s incredibly gratifying to have those characters on Netflix,...

There’s certainly no shortage of content across all of your favorite streaming services right now. Netflix and Disney+, especially, have been knocking it out of the park while everyone is stuck inside waiting out the coronavirus. Today marks another content drop for Netflix, too, adding a handful of new titles you might want to check out.

Perhaps the most notable inclusion is the Netflix Original film Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth. It’s currently sitting at 62% on Rotten Tomatoes, and most critics seem to agree that Hemsworth has finally found his groove in the action flick that sees him play a mercenary attempting to recover the kidnapped son of a crime lord. If you’re in the mood for some explosive action, grab some popcorn and give it a go.

Meanwhile, the kid-friendly Mirror Mirror, starring Julia Roberts and Lily Collins, provides a unique retelling of the story of Snow White.
