Ant-Man And The Wasp Tops Our Picks For January Offerings On Netflix
by Erik Amaya
Netflix has released its schedule of movies and shows debuting on the service in January and we’ll be honest, we’re all about Ant-Man and the Wasp. The movie was a lot of fun in theaters — it almost made us forget the Avengers: Infinity War conclusion a few months earlier — and it will be nice to revisit when it becomes available on January 29th.
But the movie is not the only superhero material coming to the service next month. Incredibles 2 comes to the service the next day on January 30th, while Watchmen and The Dark Night come to Netflix as New Year’s Day treats. The service also teased the arrival of The Punisher‘s second and presumably final season in the next few months.
Despite the imminent end of Disney’s partnership with Netflix, a number of Lucasfilm features will also come to the Netflix stable, including all of the Indiana Jones pictures on January 1st and Solo: A Star Wars Story on the 9th. Sadly, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will depart on January 18th.
In terms of Netflix original content, we’re looking forward to the final season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on the 25th and Fyre: The Greatest Party The Never Happened on January 18th. The latter is a look at the ill-fated Fyre Festival and presumably, the fraud case against its founder. Sure, its schadenfreude, but its the best kind of schadenfreude.
Of course, these are just our picks, find your own with the complete list of Netflix’s January arrival and departures below.
