Every horror movie and show releasing on Netflix in January 2025 (and what's leaving)

As a seasoned gamer and horror enthusiast with over two decades of chilling experiences under my belt, I can confidently say that January 2025 is shaping up to be a spine-tingling month for us horror aficionados on Netflix! The lineup of new arrivals has me eagerly anticipating the arrival of the classic slasher “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and the intriguing thriller series, “Missing You.

Looks like the holiday spirit has arrived prematurely! Netflix has unexpectedly revealed their entire lineup of content arriving and departing from the streaming service in the coming month. Normally, we wouldn’t get this information until late December, but it seems we’ve received an early Christmas present.

Without a doubt, we quickly scanned through the list to discover what terrifying new content was coming to Netflix in January 2025 and what was about to disappear. Interestingly, there are several must-watch horror movies and series that will be gracing our screens on this streaming platform next month. On the other hand, luckily, not many horror titles are set to depart.

Rest assured, there’s no need for concern! We won’t abandon you without information. Here’s your comprehensive rundown of the upcoming horror content on Netflix, as well as what’s being removed, all scheduled for January 2025!

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

Netflix release date: Jan. 1, 2025

The upcoming reboot of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” has prompted Netflix to secure the streaming privileges for the original movie in the chilling series. In this classic horror tale, a gang of teenagers find themselves in hot water after unintentionally running over a man and concealing his remains. They swear to let the matter rest, never to mention it again, but fate has other plans when they start receiving cryptic messages from someone who is privy to their dark secret. This enigmatic figure then begins relentlessly pursuing them, causing their number to dwindle one by one.

Missing You (2025)

Netflix release date: Jan. 1, 2025

Instead of being a horror series, “Missing You” is actually a suspenseful thriller that we believe will appeal to horror enthusiasts as well. It marks Harlan Coben’s ninth Netflix adaptation and is set to premiere on New Year’s Day. In this gripping tale, Detective Kat Donovan finds herself matched with her long-lost fiancé on a dating app, sending shockwaves through her life and raising fresh questions when he vanished 11 years ago.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (2024)

Netflix release date: Jan. 13, 2025

In the narrative that unfolds subsequent to the events depicted in “The Walking Dead” series, the plot revolves around the cherished characters of Rick Grimes and Michonne, delving into their heartwarming romance, as they endeavor to find each other amidst a post-apocalyptic landscape. The talented Andrew Lincoln re-embarks on his role as Rick, while Danai Gurira makes her comeback as the formidable Michonne.

Hereditary (2018)

Netflix release date: Jan. 15, 2025

In the heart of my gaming world, I find myself grappling with the chilling aftermath of our family matriarch’s mysterious demise. As days pass, strange and inexplicable occurrences begin to haunt us, leaving us baffled and terrified. It wasn’t until these eerie events started intertwining that we stumbled upon a hidden truth about our ancestry – a secret our late matriarch had carefully guarded.
