New year, same old chock-full schedule from Netflix.

As ever, it's a jam-packed month, with returning series such as A Series of Unfortunate Events, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Friends From College, Star: Trek Discovery, The Punisher and Grace and Frankie.

And there's plenty of new stuff, too, like Comedians, of the World, a comedy series featuring 47 up-and-coming comedians from every corner of the globe, and Sex Education, a new British drama starring The X-Files' Gillian Anderson.

Relatively speaking, January is traditionally one of the quieter months of the year for new releases on the streaming service... so on this showing, it's likely to be a big 2019.

Check out everything that's coming to Netflix this January below.
