Happy New Year from all of us here at What’s on Netflix! To bring in the New Year, we’ve seen a big rotation of titles, with 95 new movies, series, and WWE archive titles joining the streamer for January 1st, 2025.
For the complete list of what’s coming up on Netflix throughout January 2025, keep it locked here on What’s on Netflix, and also remember we’ve got a huge preview of what’s coming throughout the entire year of 2025 here. Although Netflix added a fair few titles today, it actually lost more than it gained. As we’ve been covering in our removals guide for January 2025, 178 titles ultimately departed the service today, with lots more scheduled throughout the month.
While we’ll have more highlights for you later in the week, here are three titles that should be on your watch list right now:
What to Watch on Netflix From New Year’s Day Additions
The Age of Adaline (2015)
Rating: PG-13
Language: English
Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Romance
Director: Lee Toland Krieger
Cast: Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman, Harrison Ford
Writer: J. Mills Goodloe, Salvador Paskowitz
Runtime: 112 min / 1h 52m
2024 was a big year for Blake Lively, having starred in It Ends With Us (currently on Netflix US), but it’s ultimately been soured by the war of words (and now ongoing legal battles) that is dominating headlines even over the Christmas break. Given all this, it was a welcome surprise to see the re-addition of The Age of Adaline, probably one of Lively’s most-known films before this year’s blockbuster. The romantic drama, which continues to garner great reviews from audiences, is about a woman who had a near-fatal car accident that seemingly caused her to stop aging, and she has to go to great lengths to keep her secret safe.
Be warned with this title, though. As with a number of other additions that dropped today, The Age of Adaline is completely blocked out of the Netflix ad tier, meaning you’ll need to upgrade your Netflix subscription if you want to watch.
The Bernie Mac Show (Seasons 1-5)
Number of episodes: 104
Rating: TV-PG
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Family
Cast: Bernie Mac, Kellita Smith, Jeremy Suarez
Writer: Larry Wilmore
Runtime: 30 min
Picture: FOX
Fancy a big binge? Winning a Primetime Emmy, over 100 episodes of The Bernie Mac Show hit Netflix for the first ever time today well over 20 years after its initial run on FOX between 2001 and 2006. It tells the story of Bernie Mac, who plays himself, as a stand-up comedian who agrees to look after his nieces and nephew when his sister goes into rehab.
This show is the penultimate release from the 14 Disney shows that dropped on Netflix throughout 2024 and into 2025, with the last set to be Home Improvement, which will land on Netflix in full next month.
Number 24 (2024)
Rating: TV-MA
Language: Norwegian
Genre: Biography, Drama, War
Director: John Andreas Andersen
Cast: August Wittgenstein, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Ines Høysæter Asserson
Writer: Erlend Loe, Espen Lauritzen von Ibenfeldt
Runtime: 111 min / 1h 51m
While most will be checking out Missing You, one of a few new Netflix Original titles that dropped today, we wanted to give another nod to Number 24, a WWII drama film that was released in Norway last year in theaters to critical acclaim under the name of NR. 24. Here’s the logline for the movie, “On the brink of the Second World War, a young Norwegian man’s drive to resist the Nazis sets a new course for his future – and the future of his country.”
