2017
The days are running out for 2017, and we’re just under two weeks away from a brand new year. But before we dive into 2018, it’s time to take a look at what’s streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime in January. There won’t be too many new TV series dropping next month on the big three, but there will be a handful of original movies and perhaps the wildest parade coverage that we’ve seen in a long time. To help you sort through it, we’ve got your breakdown right here.
Netflix
Everybody polka! Jack Black‘s newest film, The Polka King, is bypassing theaters and going directly to Netflix next month. Black is playing Pennsylvania polka legend Jan Lewan, a man who was infamously responsible for the first (and only) polka ponzi scheme in American history. We recently debuted one of Black’s songs from the movie, which you can find here.
If you’d rather spend these cold winter days in Gotham, Tim Burton‘s first two Batman movies and Christopher Nolan‘s Batman Begins are also coming in the new year. (Yes, the other non-Nolan, non-Burton Batman movies are going to be there too, if you must watch them.)
Also of note for next month: all four Lethal Weapon movies, The Godfather trilogy, King Kong, and more Bring It On films than anyone ever knew about.

Hulu
If you missed Ingrid Goes West this past summer, Hulu is giving you a second chance to catch its hilarious (and often heartbreaking) updated take on Single White Female, with Aubrey Plaza as Ingrid, an unstable social media addict who upends her entire life to befriend and emulate an influencer named Taylor (Elizabeth Olsen).
We’re also excited to see all four of the original Karate Kid movies coming next month. On the television front, it’s midseason premiere time, and that means new episodes of several returning shows, including the next season of The X-Files. There’s also the third seasons for Fear the Walking Dead, and the Hulu original series, The Path.

Amazon Prime
Next month, Amazon will remind us that “the future is still human” as it takes us inside Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams, a new sci-fi anthology series based upon the stories of Philip K. Dick. Bryan Cranston is producing the series and starring in one of the episodes as well.
Whovians will also be able to revisit Peter Capaldi‘s final adventures as the Doctor, when the 10th season of Doctor Who hits Amazon Prime. And is it weird that we’re looking forward to the Rose Parade this year? That’s because Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon are hosting Amazon’s coverage as fictional news personalities Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan. It’s gonna be weird, but we love it.
