Netflix is closing out January with a wave of new content. This week, the streaming giant will be adding 18 new titles spanning movies, TV series, and Netflix original series and films. Covering a number of genres, the new additions, which join dozens more made throughout the month, mean that there is a little bit of something new for every subscriber’s interest.
With 12 of the 18 additions set to be Netflix originals, the streaming giant is keeping up with reports that it will spend $17.3 billion this year in content, which is up from $15.3 billion in 2019, according to Variety. That large sum comes as the streaming wars heat up with the November launch of Disney+ and the upcoming spring launch of Peacock.
