What to Watch on Netflix in January

【Title/标题】 The 7 Most Anticipated Shows on Netflix in January 【Source/来源】 Media Outlet/媒体：IndieWire Written by/作者：Ben Travers 【Background Music/背景音乐】 Is It New Years Yet- Sabrina Carpenter 【Transcript/文稿】 New year, same ol’ Netflix — kind of. Things are always changing at the world’s most dominant streaming service, and aside from the obvious shifts in strategy — like, say, acquiring Warner Bros. — it can be hard to say exactly when an experiment becomes standard practice. So let’s take a look at Netflix’s January slate and see what it tells us about where the company stands heading into 2026 (outside of the whole WB thing). The biggest new release will be “Bridgerton” Season 4, which is once again being split into two parts that will premiere in separate months. Part 1 drops January 29, while Part 2 won’t be released until February 26. While less than a month apart, Netflix is still betting the space between each half-season will result in maintaining subscribers for an extra month while reducing subscriber churn overall. By now, the practice is old hat, but that doesn’t mean it’s a best practice. Another curious premiere arrives with “Star Search,” the new iteration of the old ’80s series, and one of Netflix’s first attempts at episodic appointment TV. Sure, the streamer has dabbled in event releases for a while now, but those are usually one-off stand-up specials or sporting events. With “Star Search,” new episodes will be released every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 p.m., and subscribers will be encouraged to tune in at that specific time (rather than waiting to binge) so they can participate in the live voting that helps choose each winner. “For the first time ever, viewers can participate in real time,” states Tudum. If it works, it certainly won’t be the last time, and we may see more appointment viewing on Netflix (home of the binge!) throughout the year. Then there’s Netflix’s acquired shows, which in January include two former TNT dramas: “Falling Skies” and “Southland.” Netflix has licensed plenty of series that first aired (or streamed) on other networks. It’s been standard practice since the beginning. But what’s interesting about these two titles in particular is that they share a few commonalities with one of streaming’s bigger surprise hits in 2025: Among the Top 10 most-watched series, per Nielsen, there were expected titles like “Bluey” (No. 1), “Grey’s Anatomy” (No. 2), “Squid Game” (No. 3), “Wednesday” (No. 6), and “Bob’s Burgers” (No. 8). But slipping into the Top 10 is the formerly forgotten network drama, “Animal Kingdom” (No. 9). Netflix has been turning more and more of these minor network hits into huge streaming wins, thanks to their accessibility and high episode counts. While “Bridgerton” seasons may only be eight episodes long, “Animal Kingdom” made 75 episodes in just six seasons. “Falling Skies” made 52 over five seasons, and “Southland” totaled 43 in the same span — not staggering totals, by today’s standards, but that’s still quite a bit of TV to watch for new fans, and it likely cost a fraction of what “Bridgerton” does. Expect to “rediscover” more old shows in the months to come.

Bowen Yang Leaves SNL Mid-season

【Title/标题】 Bowen Yang leaves 'SNL' midway through his 8th season 【Source/来源】 Media Outlet/媒体：NPR Written by/作者：Chloe Veltman 【Background Music/背景音乐】 What Is This Feeling?- Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Bowen Yang and other cast members 【Transcript/文稿】 Comedian Bowen Yang has left Saturday Night Live midway through the season, his eighth with the long-running NBC late-night sketch comedy series. The performer participated in his final show Saturday, which was hosted by Wicked star Ariana Grande. Cher was the musical guest. Yang has not publicly shared the reason for his abrupt departure from SNL. In a social media post on Saturday, the comedian thanked the team and expressed gratitude for "every minute" of his time with the show. "I loved working at SNL, and most of all I loved the people," Yang wrote. "I was there at a time when many things in the world started to seem futile, but working at 30 Rock taught me the value in showing up anyway when people make it worthwhile." In his final show on Saturday night, Yang said goodbye to the sketch comedy series with a skit in which he played a Delta airlines employee working their final day in the job. While helping customers at an eggnog station, he said, "Oh, sorry, my machine's kind of breaking down, so I'm closing my station. This is my last shift." "Yeah, it's sad. I'm gonna miss everything about this place. The smells, celebrities would come through," Yang said. "I just feel so lucky that I ever got to work here," he later added, tearfully. Yang, 35, was one of SNL's most prominent recent cast members. His most famous work on the show includes "The Iceberg That Sank the Titanic," a "Weekend Update" segment where Yang personifies the infamous iceberg; a commercial spoof co-starring Travis Kelce — "Straight Male Friend" — advertising the benefits of low-stakes friendships; and his recurring impression of expelled congressman George Santos. At one point, Yang also performed a sketch in which he played an intern on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series. Yang has been nominated for five Emmy Awards for his work on the series. Beyond SNL, the performer's credits include the 2022 romantic comedy Fire Island, the musical Wicked (2024) as well as its sequel, Wicked: For Good (2025), and the remake of The Wedding Banquet (2025). He also co-hosts the Las Culturistas podcast with actor and comedian Matt Rogers. Yang, the show's first Chinese American cast member, rose through SNL's ranks after joining the show as a staff writer in 2018. A year later, he was promoted to on-air talent and eventually became a series regular. Yang talked about the natural turnover at SNL and hinted at life beyond the show in an interview with People earlier this year. "It's this growing, living thing where new people come in and you do have to sort of make way for them and to grow and to keep elevating themselves," he said. "And that inevitably requires me to sort of hang it up at some point — but I don't know what the vision is yet." He joins other cast members who have recently left the show. Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Devon Walker are among those who departed ahead of the 51st season, which launched in October. Yang's reps did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment. The series' network, NBCUniversal, referenced Yang's social media post, but provided no further comment. Though uncommon, there have been a few other mid-season SNL departures in the past, including Cecily Strong, Dana Carvey and Eddie Murphy. Fellow entertainers have commented on Yang's departure on social media. "Iconic. (Understatement)" wrote actor Evan Ross Katz on Instagram in response to Yang's post. "Congrats!" wrote comedian Amber Ruffin. "Please make more The Wedding Banquets." NPR critic-at-large Eric Deggans called Yang's departure, even if inevitable, a setback for the show. "SNL thrives when it has a large crop of utility players who can pull comedic gold from the dodgiest sketch ideas," Deggans said, counting Yang among the most talented in recent seasons of the show's cast to fill that role. "No matter what he was asked to do, from playing the iceberg that sunk the Titanic to playing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, he was able to wring maximum laughs and patch up SNL's historic lack of representation regarding Asian performers," he added. But Yang, Deggans noted, may have reached an apex of what he could achieve on the show, "and it might be time for him to leave, while his star is still ascending and there are opportunities beyond the program available to him which might not be around for long."

‘Wicked: For Good’: Box Office

【Title/标题】 Box Office: ‘Wicked: For Good’ Earns Huge $30.8 Million in Previews, Highest of the Year 【Source/来源】 Media Outlet/媒体：Variety Written by/作者：Jordan Moreau 【Background Music/背景音乐】 For Good - Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande 【Transcript/文稿】 “Wicked” is casting a spell over the box office once again. Universal’s musical sequel “Wicked: For Good” has made $30.8 million in previews at the box office, marking the biggest pre-opening haul of the year. However, the record comes with a caveat. Usually, previews grosses come just from Thursday screenings, but Universal rolled out the film a few days early. Monday fan screenings sponsored by Amazon Prime brought in $6.1 million, while additional Wednesday showings made $6.5 million. Thursday previews, including double screenings of “Wicked” and “For Good,” made $18.2 million. The year’s previous record holder was Warner Bros.’ “Superman,” which earned $22.5 million in Thursday previews before making $125 million in its opening weekend. “Wicked: For Good,” the highly anticipated conclusion to last year’s pink-and- green sensation, is on track to make between $150 million and $180 million this weekend. It could nab the biggest box office debut of the year. Currently, the record belongs to Warner Bros.’ video game adaptation “A Minecraft Movie,” which made $10.6 million in Thursday previews on the way to a $162 million launch. Universal is playing it safe and predicting a $125 million opening this weekend, but fan excitement is high after Ariana Grande’s Glinda and Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba became pop culture mainstays last fall. Last year, director Jon M. Chu’s original “Wicked” hauled in $19.2 million in previews and grew to a $112.5 million opening weekend in the same pre-Thanksgiving weekend. A year later, the cast, including Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang and more, finish off the story of the “Wizard of Oz” prequel. The first “Wicked” helped power last year’s Thanksgiving box office to a record $420 million alongside “Gladiator II” and “Moana 2.” Disney’s family-friendly “Zootopia 2” opens next week, and the animated sequel and “Wicked: For Good” will try to reach similar box office heights through the holiday. Also opening this weekend is Sony’s action sequel “Sisu: Road to Revenge,”which is projected for a $3 million debut and made $575,000 in Thursday previews. There’s also Searchlight’s “Rental Family,” starring Brendan Fraser — also expected to launch in the low single digits.
