Overview: A busy week across the best streaming services
This week (Jan. 18–24) brings a packed slate of premieres, finales and special events across broadcast, cable and the best streaming services. Expect high-profile dramas, true-crime docuseries, reality franchise spinoffs and buzzy live events — many available for binge viewing.
Sunday, Jan. 18 — Big drama and docuseries open the week
Start the week with streaming finales and prestige drama. Paramount+ closes out “Landman” Season 2. MGM+ debuts the four-part true-crime doc “The Hillside Strangler.” NBC premieres Tracy Morgan’s comedy-drama “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” while HBO rolls out “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” a medieval series set a century before Game of Thrones.
Monday–Wednesday — Documentaries, competitions and binges
Monday features the College Football Playoff National Championship on ESPN and Hulu’s short documentary “Hoops, Hopes & Dreams.” Tuesday brings a three-episode bow for Paramount+’s “Handsome Devil: The Charming Killer” and Netflix’s revived talent show “Star Search,” hosted by Anthony Anderson.
Wednesday is heavy on streaming finales and season launches: Disney+ wraps “Percy Jackson” Season 2, Netflix premieres the final season of “Queer Eye,” and Prime Video drops Sophie Turner’s thriller “Steal” as a six-episode binge. FX launches Ryan Murphy’s three-episode thriller “The Beauty,” starring Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall. Netflix also releases the “Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart” documentary.
Thursday–Saturday — Reality, comedy and big live events
Thursday adds lighter fare and family-focused series: Paramount+ debuts “Canada Shore,” Netflix releases skating drama “Finding Her Edge” and the Bert Kreischer-led comedy “Free Bert.” HBO presents a two-night Mel Brooks documentary event, and Fox airs a “Hell’s Kitchen” finale.
Friday’s highlights include Starz’s “Nowhere Man” second episode and Netflix’s daring live stunt event “Skyscraper Live,” featuring Alex Honnold.

How to plan your week
With multiple streaming platforms hosting major releases, prioritize by genre and availability. Binge-friendly launches (Prime Video’s “Steal,” Netflix binges) drop full seasons at once, while network and cable series keep weekly pacing. Bookmark the best streaming services you subscribe to — Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO and Paramount+ — and set reminders for live events.
