The top shows and movies new on Netflix this week are once again headlined by the return of a surprise hit from 2023. Last week, the big show on Netflix was "The Night Agent" season 2, a spy thriller that was one of the biggest hits for the streaming service last year.

There are eight episode s of The Recruit season 2 and they'll all stream on Netflix from Thursday, January 30. Netflix has brought back its 2022 comedy-drama series Mo for a second and final season this week.

January has been a great month to have an Apple TV+ subscription if you like series about people trying to unravel strange mysteries, with both Silo and Severance debuting their second seasons. Now the trend continues with Prime Target, a brand new show about a mathematician who becomes a hunted man for mysterious reasons.

There are plenty of new movies to watch this week across the biggest streaming services. Netflix, Prime Video and Max all have new offerings for subscribers, while on premium video-on-demand platforms, a couple of critically acclaimed flicks are making their debut.

While all eyes may be on one returning series, Netflix actually has a few new shows (and one movie) hitting its platform this week that you may want to watch.

Netflix is adding a bunch of great movies to its library in February 2025, including Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Kinda Pregnant.
