What to Watch on Netflix: Jan. 16, 2026 | The Rip to Finding Her Edge - Netflix Tudum
Warning: this week’s release of new movies and shows presents its share of crucial decisions.
For example, when the final season of Queer Eye launches — with the Fab Five’s Tan France, Jonathan Van Ness, Jeremiah Brent, Karamo Brown, and Antoni Porowski touching down in Washington, DC — which deserving hero will you meet first? The pair of sisters, the firefighting single mother, or the local tour guide?
And when the legendary talent competition Star Search returns — complete with host Anthony Anderson and judges Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen — which contestants will earn your vote? Remember, if you rewind, pause for too long, or join late, you will miss the voting window. Here’s a guide on how to vote with your remote.
With whom are you watching The Rip, the high-stakes crime film starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, and Kyle Chandler? And when are you pressing play on Finding Her Edge? The romance series spans eight episodes, likely to be watched in a single sitting — plan accordingly.
Scroll on for more titles coming to Netflix the week of Jan. 16 through Jan. 22.
