January is proving to be a big month for streaming services with popular platforms Netflix, Stan, and Foxtel all adding a large number of titles to their libraries to start the year. Below is all the information you will need to make sure you don’t miss out on the movies and shows that you want to watch this January.
Highlights:
A Series of Unfortunate Events S3 (Netflix, January 1): The third and final season will cover the final books of the Lemony Snicket series: The Slippery Slope, The Grim Grotto, The Penultimate Peril, and The End. It’ll see the Baudelaires face peril at the top of a mountain, to the bottom of the sea, and to an island cult.
Bloom S1 (Stan, January 1): The six-part drama is set one year after a devastating flood kills five locals in an idyllic country town. A mysterious new plant subsequently appears with the power to restore youth. It’s a gift of power beyond the wildest imagining… a phenomenon so formidable that attempting to harness its potency means re-evaluating everything that’s important. It’s a miracle some will kill to keep secret.
Two-time Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook, Animal Kingdom) plays Gwen, a previously successful actress now suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Bryan Brown (The Light Between Oceans, Red Dog: True Blue, Sweet Country) plays Ray, Gwen’s husband. Loving, gentle and intelligent, Ray has been forced to move his wife into a care facility due to her worsening Alzheimer’s. He is heartbroken that she no longer remembers him and he’ll do whatever he can to support her and keep her alive.
The other key cast includes Phoebe Tonkin, Ryan Corr, Daniel Henshall, Sam Reid, Genevieve Morris, Anne Charleston, Terry Norris, Amali Golde, Nicki Sheils , Tessa Rose, John Stanton and Rod Mullinar.
True Detective S3 (Foxtel Now, January 14): After a break following mixed reaction to the second season of the anthology crime series, True Detective returns with a new story. It stars Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff as two detectives in the Ozarks investigating a gruesome crime involving two missing children.
Titans S1 (Netflix, January 11): The latest entry in the DC universe finally comes to Australia after completing its run in the states. The story features Dick Grayson (AKA Robin) who encounters a number of troubled young heroes after splitting up with Batman and together creates a new crime fighting force.
Carmen Sandiego S1 (Netflix, January 18): Based off the classic video game series, and starring Gina Rodriguez the series follows the master criminal who is traversing the world and stealing from the evil organization V.I.L.E. Rodriguez will not only be starring in this animated series but also the live action Carmen Sandiego film being made by Netflix.
