Binge-watching Netflix is the greatest activity known to man. Well, maybe not, but with new releases each month and old classics being added all the time, there is no shortage of great content to watch! A few Netflix originals are being added this month, including these great ones.
One Day At a Time (January 6th) — Very little is known so far about the reboot of the Norman Lear classic, but what we do know sounds like a perfect homage to one of the TV writers’ most loved shows. The show will be 13 episodes long and will focus on a Cuban-American family who are struggling to keep it together after the separation of the mother and father. Lear returns as an executive producer of the show and, as you can see from the picture above, Stephen Tobolowsky is confirmed to be in the cast along with Rita Moreno, Justina Machado, and Thomas Barbusca.
A Series Of Unfortunate Events (January 13th) — This will likely be Netflix’s biggest release! The TV adaption of the classic book series is scheduled to release all eight episodes on the second Friday of the month. The series has been gathering a lot of anticipation so far with a lot riding on the show to, at the very least, eclipse the movie starring Jim Carrey. All evidence is pointing to the show being in good hands, though, with a trailer that manages to capture the perfect feeling that the books leave you with. A Series of Unfortunate Events stars Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf, and Patrick Warburton, Malina Weissman and Aasif Mandvi.
Voltron: Legendary Defender (January 20th) — Netflix put out some excellent Dreamworks shows in 2016, and among the very best was the reboot of Voltron. It’s likely we’ll get a similar amount episodes again and will pick up where season one left off. In case you’re new to the series, the show shares many similarities to Dreamworks’ other big show, Transformers, but instead focuses on four teens who become involved in an intergalactic battle against King Zarkon and his armies.
We can’t wait to watch some of these new releases with a yummy snack and a cozy blanket! We think you’ll love them too. Thanks for reading.
