New Releases on Netflix This Week and Top 10 Movies & Series: January 30th, 2025

While Bridgerton ultimately was the big showstopper for Netflix this week, there were 50 new arrivals throughout the week on Netflix in the United States. We’re now here to recap all of them as well as dive into the weekly top 10s for the US, which saw both The Rip and HIS & HERS retain their respective grips on their top 10 lists. Here’s everything new streaming on Netflix for the week ending January 30th, 2026.

It’s going to be a busy weekend of new releases with the first of the month landing on a Sunday this year. Lots of older and newer movies are scheduled to drop, plus new seasons of fan-favorites Heartland and The Way Home. You can find our updated list of everything we know coming up throughout February here. 

What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend

For this week’s recommendations, we’re going to assume you’ve already smashed through all four episodes of Bridgerton season 4 and are patiently waiting for part 2 at the end of next month! 

20th Century Women (2016)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Director: Mike Mills
Cast: Annette Bening, Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig
Writer: Mike Mills
Runtime: 119 min / 1h 59m

The slow trickle of A24 movies on and off Netflix continues, with 20th Century Women as a surprise re-addition, its last appearance just over 6 years ago. The cast is the biggest reason to check this out, with some sublime performances, and the movie also notably picked up an Oscar nomination. 

Written and directed by Mike Mills (Beginners, C’mon C’mon), the film is a semi-autobiographical love letter to his mother. The story centers on Dorothea Fields (Annette Bening), a 55-year-old single mother raising her teenage son, Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann), amid cultural change in California in the late 1970s. 

Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Drama, War
Director: Embeth Davidtz
Cast: Embeth Davidtz, Andreas Damm, Zikhona Bali
Writer: Embeth Davidtz, Alexandra Fuller
Runtime: 99 min / 1h 39m

Making its streaming premiere on Netflix this week is Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight, a movie from Sony Pictures Classics. The coming-of-age drama sees eight-year-old Bobo make sense of life on her family’s Rhodesian farm as civil war and political upheaval sweep through what will become Zimbabwe, all seen through her curious, unfiltered eyes, as love, loss, and the legacies of conflict reshape her world.

It picked up rave reviews and at one point was pointed to as a potential awards contender throughout the season, although it’s ultimately come up short thus far. Still, very much worthy of your attention,

The Gangnam Project (Season 1)

Number of episodes: 10
Rating: TV-PG
Language: Korean
Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama
Cast: Julia Kim Caldwell, Paul Seungbin Lee, Joshua Hyunho Lee

The world of KPop has been steadily growing in popularity for years now, but it really wasn’t until KPOP Demon Hunters that the genre was felt globally as a cultural juggernaut. Hoping to capitalize on and expand that trend for a young audience is this Canadian series, which first aired on CBC Gem in 2024 and debuts on Netflix this week. 

Julia Kim Caldwell, Taran Kim, Dale Yim, Katie Griffin, and Brianna Kim are among the cast of the show, which follows a Korean-Canadian teen who starts tutoring trainees at a K-pop agency in Seoul. As her dreams of stardom grow closer, does she have what it takes? 

The series has positive reviews from audiences, and it’s now time to shine on a global stage. Just a caution: this does skew younger than the likes of Finding Her Edge, which dropped last week.

HIS & HERS is on a rampage in the US top 10s, still now several weeks after releasing, and is currently eying a spot on Netflix’s all-time top 10 list. It picked up a solid haul of points, suggesting more people are falling in love with the twisty thriller. Elsewhere, lots of rotation again in the rest of the TV top 10s with Skyscraper LIVE surprisingly still scoring well on points despite the live event being long over, suggesting that some live events do have replayability, something we haven’t seen so much with the boxing events.
