Looking for something great to watch at home? Streaming subscribers are spoiled for choice between Hulu, Netflix, Max, Disney+, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Shudder, Paramount+, Peacock, and more. And that's before you even dive into the vast libraries of movies and television programs within each platform! This week, from January 24, 2025, brings an exciting lineup of new releases across all major streaming services.
Netflix
- "The Sand Castle" (January 24): A gripping drama following a family stranded on a deserted island, grappling with survival and internal conflicts.
- "Supermachos" (January 24): A new series bringing action and intrigue to your screen.
- "The Night Agent" Season 2 (January 24): Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) returns in Shawn Ryan’s high-stakes thriller series. After saving the president in Season 1, Peter has moved beyond his FBI basement desk to full-on action as a Night Agent. This time, Peter and super-coder Rose (Luciane Buchanan) find themselves in New York City, tracking down intel leaks after a failed surveillance mission in Bangkok. While the hand-to-hand combat remains intense, critics argue that the second season lacks the originality and excitement that made the first season shine.
- Starring: Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, Amanda Warren, Arienne Mandi, Louis Herthum, Berto Colon, Michael Malarkey, Keon Alexander, Brittany Snow, Teddy Sears, Navid Negahban, and Rob Heaps.
Prime Video
- "Prime Target" (January 24): One Day’s Leo Woodall trades romance for edge-of-your-seat thrills in this new series from Sherlock writer Steve Thompson. The story follows a math prodigy and Good Will Hunting-style genius who discovers a groundbreaking pattern involving prime numbers, only to find himself targeted by a shadowy group bent on silencing him. While the series begins with a slow burn, the trailer hints at a gripping evolution into full-on Bond-style action.
Starring: Leo Woodall, Quintessa Swindell, Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng, Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee, and Joseph Mydell.
Paramount+
- "Star Trek: Section 31" (January 24): Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh reprises her role as Philippa Georgiou in this Star Trek: Discovery spinoff. The film explores the former Terran Emperor’s tragic origins and her recruitment into the secretive Section 31 for a mission to save her new home universe from the threat of her old one. Despite its high-profile cast and chaotic charm, critics note that the movie feels rushed, likely due to its origins as a planned series condensed into a feature-length runtime. While Yeoh delivers an outstanding performance, the movie itself struggles to make its emotional and narrative beats resonate.
Starring: Michelle Yeoh, Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl, Sam Richardson, Sven Ruygrok, Robert Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzalez, and James Hiroyuki Liao.
Shudder

Wei quickly discovers that her father's research and her own quest for friendship may be disturbingly intertwined. Although the film hints at deeper social themes, it ultimately focuses on its icky, fun horror moments, delivering a wild ride for fans of the genre.
Starring: Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, Jared Turner, and Eden Hart.
Hulu

Starring: Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter."Sleep" (January 24): Jason Yu's feature debut is a haunting and subtle horror that taps into the anxieties of marriage and new parenthood. The film follows Hyun-su (Lee Sun-kyun) and Soo-jin (Jung Yu-mi), a couple dealing with disturbing events after Hyun-su starts displaying erratic behavior during his sleep. Is it a sleep disorder or something darker? The film unfolds as a slow-burn supernatural horror, exploring the tension between the couple as they fear what each other is capable of. With intense performances and tight direction, Sleep is a psychological thriller that will keep viewers on edge, even in its quietest moments.
Sleep doesn't reinvent the wheel as a slow-burn, possibly supernatural horror, instead leaning on well-worn markers of the genre — the increasingly shocking events, the enlisting of a medium, the race to discover the truth. However, Lee and Jung give intense performances that make the film feel fresh. At the same time, cinematographer Tae-soo Kim and editor Meeyeon Han find unique ways to capture the inside of a small apartment for maximum tension. Both Soo-jin and Hyun-su fear what the other is capable of, with the film pivoting from one parent's unconscious fears to the other's over the course of a sharp 90 minutes.* — S.C.
