New to UK Netflix January 2018

By Helena Kealey on 3/1/2018

Settle in with all ten series of Friends on UK Netflix, as well as plenty of other goodies this January

Friends UK Netflix
Friends UK Netflix
Friends
UK Netflix release date: January 1



Oh, My, God! Chandler Bing! Millennials rejoice: Netflix UK is welcoming in the New Year with all the episodes of Friends. All 10 series of the successful sitcom following the lives of six New Yorkers: Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joe and Chandler are available to stream right now. It's the box set that Netflix tells us is: 'the One with the Show Everyone's Been Asking Us to Add'.


Joy
UK Netflix release date: 25 January



Starring Hollywood sweet-heart Jennifer Lawrence, Joy is the story of an intrepid business woman who strikes out on her own, in the face of her family's low opinion of her capabilities, to become a success and founder of a business empire. JOY stars Robert De Niro, Edgar Ramirez and Isabella Rossellini, and – of course – Bradley Cooper (Joy is yet another film from David O.Russel to star both Lawrence and Cooper). This defies genre to tell a story about love, loyalty, family and bravery.


Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency: season two
UK Netflix release date: 5 January



With a new year comes a new case for the 'holistic detective agent' Dirk Gently to solve, mostly by accident. Starring Elijah Wood (from Lord of the Rings) and based on the novel by Douglas Adams (author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) expect lots of silliness and less-than intelligent guesswork.



Black Lightening: season one
UK Netflix release date: 23 January 2018. Comes out weekly




A new superhero is coming to a Netflix service near you. Meet Jefferson Pierce, a man with a secret. Nearly nine years ago, Pierce discovered superhuman powers and used them to fight a criminal gang terrorising his home town. Despite promising to hang up the metaphorical cape for good, Black Lightning must return to save his family, his community and (of course) himself.


He named me Malala
UK Netflix release date: 1 January 2018


The extraordinary story of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and the young girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for daring to suggest that women around the world, but in particular in Pakistan, should be educated. The then 15-year-old, Malala Yousafzai was singled out for advocating girls' education, attacked, miraculously survived and is now a passionate campaigner for girls' education (and a student at Oxford University).

Julie & Julia
UK Netflix release date: 1 January 2018



Nora Efron is at it again, this time with the two true stories of Julie and Julia, two American women living in different times, but finding salvation and a place in the world through cooking.


Starring Meryl Streep as American chef and Amy Adams, as the fledgling writer Julie Powell inspired by the great chef, this is the story of bravery and the magic of French cooking.


BFG
UK Netflix release date: 8 January 2018



Roald Dahl's colourful children's book about dreams, giants and the witching hour is translated onto the screen in this beautiful film about an unhappy orphan who becomes friends with an unusual pal.


Eye in the Sky
UK Netflix release date: 5 January


Helen Mirren and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) star in this edge-of-your-seat film about the attempted capture of a suicide bomber operating in Kenya. But, faced with the decision to take fatal action, will the British Government decide to kill innocent people in order to protect many more?


Despicable Me 2
UK Netflix release date: 25 January



One for all the family: Despicable Me returns with the return of rip-roaring super-villain Gru (Steve Carell), his sweet adopted daughters and the unpredictable, ridiculous and very funny Minions.
