Ring in 2017 with Netflix January Titles

Netflix January

The New Year is upon us, and Netflix January titles bring a few new potential gems.

After a failed film adaptation starring Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep, A Series of Unfortunate Events tries a reboot of sorts. Starring Neil Patrick Harris, the new series is but one of a new promising Netflix January titles we’re excited about. Norman Lear executive produces a return to his 1970s classic One Day at a Time. The timely update focuses on a Cuban-American family and stars Rita Moreno. If neither of these two Netflix January titles excites you, then try Voltron: Legendary Defender because, yeah, some people haven’t moved on from the 80’s.

Here’s the full roster of notable Netflix January titles and descriptions, courtesy of Netflix.

One Day at a Time

A reimagining of the Norman Lear classic, centering on a Cuban-American family. Our heroine is a recently separated, former military mom (Justina Machado) navigating a new single life while raising her radical teenaged daughter and socially adept tween son, with the “help” of her old school Cuban-born mom (Rita Moreno) and a friends- without-benefits building manager named Schneider. The 13-episode first season of One Day at a Time is produced by Act III Productions, Inc., Snowpants Productions and Small Fish Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television. Norman Lear, Mike Royce, Gloria Calderón Kellett and Michael Garcia are executive producers.
