‘A Series Of Unfortunate Events,’ ‘It Follows,’ And More Are Coming To Netflix In January 2017


2016 is finally coming to an end, and if your New Year’s resolution includes “watch more Netflix,” you’re in luck, because a whole host of new content is on the way. January is frozen wasteland anyway, so what better time to start a new show or get caught up on your old favorites? Make a mug of hot chocolate, put on some sweatpants, and lean into your next binge watching experience. While we are losing some classics like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Dazed and Confused, we’re gaining plenty to keep you busy. On top of the first season of the much anticipated Netflix original, A Series of Unfortunate Events, the new horror classic It Follows, Braveheart, Caddyshack, and a new comedy special from Jim Gaffigan will all be making their way to a screen near you.

A Series Of Unfortunate Events

The ingenious but terminally unlucky Baudelaire children are getting a second shot at an adaptation with Netflix’s take on Lemony Snickett’s popular series. Starring Neil Patrick Harris as the wicked Count Olaf looking to steal the children’s fortune, hijinks, adventures, and terrible tidings are sure to occur. Considering Netflix’s track record with original content, this one is definitely worth a shot.

It Follows (2014)

It’s rare for a horror film to come along that is both stylish and terrifying, but It Follows manages both. When Jay (Maika Monroe) is cursed with an ominous, supernatural entity stalking her steps after a sexual encounter, she and her friends have to stay alive and kill whatever is following them before it claims another victim. It Follows is an artistic twist on the classic horror trope that will keep you glued to your seat and your light on for the next few nights.

Jim Gaffigan — Cinco

There are few comics that are as genial onstage as Jim Gaffigan. Telling stories about fatherhood and food, Gaffigan appeals to the inner Dad Bod in all of us. With his latest special hitting Netflix next month, this everyman (who already appeared on Netflix’s Chelsea) is back to make you laugh and crave Hot Pockets. Plus, his content is largely apolitical, which might be just what you need this January.
