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.

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.

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.

After a (relatively) slow start to the year, it’s set to be a big week for new movies across the best streaming services. The next few weeks will see new flicks debut on Netflix, Prime Video, Max and Hulu and there’s also a selection of newcomers to premium streaming.

The world of streaming is abuzz with anticipation, with reports of Netflix, an entertainment giant which has been constantly changing the way we look at media consumption, getting ready for a landmark event to redefine our 2025 viewing experience.
