Every TV Series Coming to AMC+ in January 2025

by

As a dedicated entertainment enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the lineup for AMC+ and its extended network in January 2025 is nothing short of a feast for our eyes!

This year’s Halloween appears to be arriving a bit prematurely on the streaming service AMC+, as it welcomes two captivating series into their second seasons – “Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale” and “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches”. If you are an AMC+ subscriber who eagerly counts down the days, then January 2025 is when the second season of the Alexandra Daddario-led dark drama, the only series debuting or returning that month on AMC+, will make its appearance. On the other hand, Sundance Now offers the most enticing new TV content for the month, with shows like “White Lies” and “The Newsreader” continuing their seasons throughout January, and joining previously mentioned series such as “Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale”.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting shows coming to AMC+ in the upcoming year! For those who loved Double Cross, mark your calendars for ALLBLK’s Conspirators, the follow-up series. The BBC is also set to continue their acclaimed series with Planet Earth: Asia. And if you’re a fan of crime dramas, don’t miss out on the second season of Darby and Joan, airing on Acorn TV. We’ve handpicked these as must-watch TV for January 2024 on AMC+ and its affiliated channels, along with a complete schedule to ensure you never miss a moment of the action.

‘Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches’

Season 2 (AMC Original Series) — January 5

Mayfair Witches, with its captivating narrative and enchanting characters, has garnered a significant following among fans of Anne Rice’s works and their screen adaptations. The series boasts an exceptional lead character in Rowan Fielding, portrayed brilliantly by Alexandra Daddario. Moreover, the first season masterfully combined elements of drama and suspenseful thrills, creating an immersive viewing experience. Furthermore, it left ample room for exploring various storylines – from grappling with newly-discovered supernatural abilities to dealing with the ongoing family strife born from a long-standing legacy. However, the upcoming second season faces some challenges in maintaining and advancing the captivating narrative established by its predecessor.

As a devoted fan, I can’t wait to delve deeper into the enigmatic character of Lasher, uncovering his backstory and understanding the extent of his supernatural power. Given that this seems to be the focal point for season 2, I really hope the series stays truer to Anne Rice’s original work, focusing more on character development and maintaining a pace that mirrors the novels (something many found lacking in the first). However, the cast has been nothing short of exceptional, and the blend of drama and supernatural elements has undeniably created a captivating viewing experience. Mark your calendars, fellow enthusiasts; the new season of Mayfair Witches premieres on January 5, only on AMC and AMC+!

‘Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale’

Season 2 (Sundance Now) — January 5

In a distinctive world where witches are part of everyday life, the first season of “Sanctuary: A Witch’s Journey” has garnered a loyal audience. The series stands out for its clever blend of mystery and fantasy elements with larger topics such as sexism and prejudice against women, offering thought-provoking social commentary that resonates today. Delving into deeper issues within its distinctive premise adds an emotional richness that viewers will eagerly revisit when the second season begins.

In the second season of “Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale,” premiering on January 5th on Sundance Now, the narrative concentrates on the evolving circumstances of characters such as Sarah (Elaine Cassidy) and Harper (Hazel Doupe), as they grapple with a fresh wave of anti-witch laws. This shift is likely to drive much of the drama in Season 2. The first seasons captivated audiences with their magical charm and emotional depth, and viewers can anticipate a continuation of this intrigue in Season 2.

‘White Lies’

(Sundance Now) — January 16

A captivating murder mystery filled with unexpected plot twists, White Lies tells the story of investigative journalist Edie Hansen (Natalie Dormer), who becomes embroiled in a case that turns deeply personal. When her estranged brother is found dead in an affluent neighborhood of Cape Town, South Africa, it’s discovered that his children are suspects in their father’s murder. As Edie delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a complex network of lies, reinforced by the influence and privilege of the wealthy elite. This pursuit of justice places her at odds with veteran detective Forty Bell (Brendon Daniels).

If you’re searching for an engaging crime thriller miniseries that’s sure to keep you hooked, you’ll be pleased to hear that “White Lies” has already captivated viewers on South African TV and is now streaming on Sundance Now. Natalie Dormer, known for her impressive roles in Game of Thrones and The Tudors, delivers one of her best performances as Edie Hansen in this series. Although it may lean towards familiar tropes, don’t let that deter you; White Lies is a skillfully crafted miniseries that’s definitely worth watching. Mark your calendars, as “White Lies” will be available for streaming on Sundance Now starting January 16.
