‘Harlan Coben’s Final Twist’ (2026)

Starting January 7th, Paramount+ will release the new series ‘Harlan Coben’s Final Twist.’ The show tells the story of a man trying to uncover the truth behind his wife’s death, a journey filled with surprising discoveries and long-held secrets. This series continues the successful partnership between Paramount+ and author Harlan Coben, promising a suspenseful and dramatic story with complex characters and a twisting plot.

‘Girl Taken’ (2026)

I just finished watching ‘Girl Taken,’ which premieres on Paramount+ this Thursday, January 8th, and it’s a truly gripping watch. The series dives deep into the devastating impact a child’s disappearance has on everyone involved, and follows both the family and the investigators as they desperately search for answers. It’s an intense thriller, for sure, but what really struck me was how powerfully it explores the strength of the human spirit and just how far parents will go to protect their kids. The cast really delivers, bringing a lot of emotional weight to this difficult story.

‘A Thousand Blows’ (2025)

Starting January 9th on Disney+, you can watch ‘A Thousand Blows,’ a historical drama set in 1880s London. The series follows two friends from Jamaica who become involved in the gritty and dangerous world of bare-knuckle boxing. It’s a story about fighting to survive and the strong friendships that develop even in the toughest circumstances, offering a glimpse into both Victorian-era boxing and the social classes of the time.

‘Coldwater’ (2025)

The psychological thriller ‘Cold Water’ premieres on Paramount+ this Friday, January 9th. It tells the story of a man who moves his family to a secluded village hoping to leave behind a difficult past. However, he soon finds himself caught up in the town’s secrets and strange events, leading to growing tension and suspense. The series creates a chilling atmosphere and explores themes of paranoia and the unsettling side of suburban life.

‘Tehran’ (2020)

The second season of the spy thriller ‘Tehran’ arrives on Apple TV+ on January 9th. The series centers around a Mossad agent on a risky undercover mission in Tehran, Iran. As international tensions rise, she must navigate a dangerous network of hackers and intelligence operatives. This gripping drama offers a glimpse into the world of international espionage, surveillance, and covert operations, packed with intense action and compelling characters.

‘The Artful Dodger’ (2023)

Starting January 10th on Disney+, you can watch ‘The Artful Dodger,’ a new series inspired by the classic Charles Dickens story. It’s set in 1850s Australia and follows Jack Dawkins, who’s reinvented himself as a talented surgeon, though he still keeps some of his old pickpocketing skills. When Fagin reappears, Jack is pulled back into a life of crime and forced to juggle his two very different identities. The show is a mix of historical drama, exciting adventure, and medical mysteries.
