Netflix is helping subscribers kick back and relax this weekend. Beginning on Friday, Jan. 28, the streaming giant will begin to roll out the final additions from its expansive January 2022 content list, which includes dozens of fresh titles. After treating subscribers to everything from South Korean drama All of Us Are Dead to new episodes of Ozark, Netflix will cap the month with seven new titles this weekend.
This weekend’s additions are all Netflix originals, ranging from a new installment in the growing Angry Birds franchise to an all-new series starring Queer Eye‘s Jonathan Van Ness, and even a parody of another Netflix title. Throughout the month of January, the streamer has stocked dozens of original titles, with February set to continue that trend. The emphasis on original titles comes amid the streamer’s continued push to bring subscribers content exclusive to Netflix. That movement has been at least partially credited for the recent price hike, which immediately went into effect for new subscribers earlier this month and is set to roll out to existing subscribers in the coming weeks.

Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic plan $10 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The streamer also recently debuted a “Netflix Free Section,” allowing non-subscribers to watch a selection of the streamer’s most beloved originals at no cost. Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.
