New year, new shows
January 2020 is finally here, which means two things: the start of a new decade and brand new content from Netflix. With every new month, the streaming service removes shows and movies to make way for brand new content.
Here is what is coming to Netflix this January:
Spinning Out

This new series follows Kaya Scodelario as Kat Baker, an up-and-coming, high-level single skater who’s about to turn in her skates after a disastrous fall took her off the competition track.

The Circle
Release date: 1 Jan
The first four episodes of the American reality series were added to Netflix on January 1st. A little like Big Brother meets Black Mirror, in this series the contestants, or “players”, all move into an apartment building. However, the contestants will never meet face-to-face during the course of the competition, as they will each live in their own individual apartment. They will communicate solely using their profiles on a specially-designed social media app, giving them the ability to portray themselves in any way they choose.

Dracula
Release date: 4 Jan
This three-episode series follows Dracula from his origins in Eastern Europe to his battles with Van Helsing’s descendants and beyond.

Chilling adventures of Sabrina – Season 3
