January is the coldest month of the year. Or it’s one of the two coldest. It doesn’t really matter too much. The point is, it’s a frigid 31 days for a lot of the country.
But the good news is, you can stay warm next month, curled up under a blanket on your couch watching a ton of high-quality entertainment from the various streaming services. Below, you’ll find the best of what’s leaving and arriving on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and HBO Now in January 2017. Stream on!
NETFLIX
A slew of great sports docs from ESPN are hitting the showers this month. But starting New Year’s Day, you can treat yourself to a Superman marathon. And if you like humor about Hot Pockets, McDonald’s fries, and being a pale person, there’s a new comedy special from Jim Gaffigan.

AMAZON PRIME
In addition to a handful of interesting films, Amazon Prime is busting out a pair of original series. The first, Sneaky Pete, stars Giovanni Ribisi as a conman who assumes the identity of his cellmate. The second one, Z: The Beginning of Everything, is definitely worth a look. It’s a series about F. Scott Fitzgerald’s crazy wife Zelda, and it stars Christina Ricci.

It’s your last chance to see a couple of Adrien Brody’s best films (in addition to this year’s Manhattan Night, of course). Meanwhile, on the arrivals side, we think M. Night Shyamalan might have taken a job with HBO, because there are many, many M. Night films hitting the Home Box Office this month.
