6 Must-Watch Streaming Shows and Movies Hitting Netflix, Paramount+, and More This Week

by

As January winds down, the flow of fresh content shows no signs of slowing. This month has been a fantastic one for top-tier streaming services, with a plethora of acclaimed returning series and an array of excellent films. This week is no exception, as it brings two highly anticipated 2024 movies to our screens, along with the premiere of the first Star Trek film in quite some time.

Coming soon on Netflix, a new season of one highly acclaimed original series! Unfortunately, Disney+ doesn’t have much exciting content this week as they transition between major shows. However, other streaming platforms are filling the gap with fresh offerings. Here’s a rundown of what you shouldn’t miss in the world of streaming this week.

New TV

Prime Target – January 22 (Apple TV+)

This January has been an excellent time for Apple TV+ subscribers, especially those who enjoy watching series centered around individuals trying to solve peculiar mysteries. Both “Silo” and “Severance” premiered their second seasons this month. The trend carries on with the debut of “Prime Target”, a fresh show that follows the story of a mathematician who finds himself in danger due to unknown reasons.

The Night Agent, Season 2 – January 23 (Netflix)

The series “The Night Agent” was a resounding success when it premiered on Netflix, resulting in a renewal for Season 2 – an achievement seldom seen on platforms where securing another season isn’t always assured. This time, the character played by Gabriel Brasso, the Night Agent, will take his mission global as he seeks to uncover a CIA leak.

New Movies

Blink Twice – January 21 (Prime Video)

Initially, “Blick Twice” garnered attention not just for its on-screen action, but also for the drama unfolding off-camera. This was Zoe Kravitz’s directorial debut, and there were rumors of an impending marriage between her and Channing Tatum. Now, with positive reviews under its belt, the film can proudly shine independently as it becomes available for streaming via a Prime Video subscription.

Star Trek: Section 31 – January 24 (Paramount+)

Television is where the world of Star Trek first came to life, and any dedicated fan should consider subscribing to Paramount+ since the series’ content on this platform has consistently been top-notch. This week brings a fresh addition to the franchise in the form of an original film titled “Star Trek: Section 31“, which not only offers something new but is also a spinoff from the cancelled series Star Trek: Discovery, starring Michelle Yeoh.

The Wild Robot – January 24 (Peacock)

2024 saw animation soar, yet the standout title wasn’t from Disney or Pixar. Instead, “The Wild Robot” captured hearts and garnered acclaim from both audiences and critics, setting itself up for a strong showing during this awards season. In case you missed it or wish to revisit it, the movie will be accessible starting this week with a Peacock subscription.

Scream VI – January 25 (Netflix)

The iconic meta-horror series known as “Scream” has transformed into a new iteration, the meta-reboot-horror franchise “Scream,” with “Scream VII” currently in production. For enthusiasts eager to catch up on the previous installment before the next one arrives, they’ll have the opportunity this week by subscribing to Netflix, where the movie will be available for viewing. Notably, both Melissa Barera and Jenna Ortega will make their final appearances in this film, as neither actress has committed to reprising their roles in the upcoming installment.

Before the end of next week, as January bids farewell, it won’t miss the opportunity for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to finally premiere on Disney+.
