Thanks to some surprise additions at the end of last year, January 2025 offers what might be the best movie lineup ever on Netflix. Here are your ten best options.

There’s a common theme for the most-watched animated series in 2024. They all come from existing and familiar universes whether that’s Jurassic World, CoComelon, Hot Wheels, Sonic, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Exploding Kittens, and The Fairly OddParents.

A new year means fresh movies on Netflix, which always shakes up the top 10 as viewers rush to check out the latest releases. After dominating the charts for weeks, the holiday thriller “Carry-On” has just been bumped from the top 10, making room for some other gems to take the spotlight on the streaming service.

One movie that should be on the top of everyone’s most anticipated list for 2025 is Guillermo del Toro’s ambitious new live-action project for Netflix following Cabinet of Curiosities and Pinocchio, a new take on Mary Shelley’s beloved novel based on the well-known story of Frankenstein and his monster.

The best new movies streaming on Netflix in January 2025 include some Christopher Nolan classics and a Cameron Diaz comeback vehicle.

Meanwhile, the biggest show this week is "XO, Kitty." Spun-off from the Netflix original movie "To All the Boys" franchise, the teen dramedy stars Anna Cathcart as Kitty Song Covey, the younger sister of the film's protagonist. It follows her high school romantic journey and is back for its second season this Thursday.
