Christmas seems to have come early this year, as Netflix just dropped its complete list of what's all coming and leaving the streaming platform next month. We weren't expecting this juicy information until the end of December, but it looks like we got the deets a little early.
Of course, we immediately looked the list over to see what all new horror content would be landing on Netflix soon and what would be bidding farewell. What we noticed is that there are several must-see horror movies and shows set to arrive on the streaming platform in January 2025. When it comes to the horror titles leaving, fortunately, there aren't that many departing.
Don't worry! We're not going to leave you hanging. Here’s your ultimate guide to what horror content is arriving and what’s leaving Netflix in January 2025!
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Netflix release date: Jan. 1, 2025
With the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot in the works, Netflix has decided to acquire the streaming rights to the first film in the horror franchise. In this iconic slasher, the story follows a group of teens who accidentally hit a man with their car and hide the body. They vow to keep the incident a secret and never speak of it again, but that all changes a year later when they start receiving ominous messages from someone who knows what they did. This mysterious figure begins stalking them and picking them off one by one.
Missing You (2025)
Netflix release date: Jan. 1, 2025
So, Missing You isn't a horror series. It's actually a thriller series, but we believe this is a show that horror lovers would enjoy. It's Harlan Coben's ninth Netflix series adaptation, and it will be released on New Year's Day. When Detective Kat Donovan matches on a dating app with her fiancé, who disappeared 11 years ago, this startling discovery plunges her into a turmoil of emotions and sparks new questions.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (2024)
Netflix release date: Jan. 13, 2025
Taking place after the events of the original The Walking Dead show, the story focuses on the beloved characters of Rick Grimes and Michonne and their love story as they try to reunite in a post-apocalyptic world. Andrew Lincoln reprises his role as Rick, while Danai Gurira returns as Michonne.
Hereditary (2018)
