A new year means a new group of TV shows and movies to watch, in addition to Netflix making some changes to its platform by removing content as well. WWE Raw finds its new home on Netflix in January, while The Night Agent and The Recruit return for their second seasons.
At the same time, Batman movies Batman Begins and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice are being removed from Netflix. The Zoolander films are also leaving the streaming site.
Additionally, favourites like Clueless, both Mamma Mia! movies, Failure to Launch and the 1982 film Annie are being removed from Netflix.
This is also your last chance to watch Room, starring Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay, on Netflix, It’s Complicated with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, and Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho.
Two Tom Cruise movies are also being removed from Netflix, Jack Reacher and American Made, and two Will Smith films as well, Concussion and Bad Boys for Life.

Noah Centineo returns as CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks for The Recruit Season 2, who gets dragged into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, but realizes there may be an even bigger threat inside the agency.
“Owen rolls into this season basically screwed,” creator, showrunner and executive producer, Alexi Hawley, teased to Tudum. “Owen knows that if he does not walk away with a win this season, his career is going to be over.”
“He might go to prison. Depending on what people are into, they can show up this season for the big, flashy, splashy action stuff, but they can also be on a journey with this guy who’s just trying to fix something that he broke.”
