The 79 Best Shows on Netflix to Binge Right Now (January 2026)
These Netflix new releases will not disappoint.
There’s always something new on Netflix, even if it’s something old. The streaming behemoth pioneered the batch-release model, dropping full seasons of House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, but it had already ushered in the era of binge-watching as subscribers devoured entire seasons of their old favorites when they came on the service.
Now, it’s practically a full-time job keeping up with what old shows are newly added, what new original shows just got a new season, what previously canceled shows are getting a Netflix reboot, or the so-called “Netflix bump,” the surge in popularity when a series finds a broader audience online. See: the slow but steady growth of Schitt’s Creek and the brief but glorious Summer of Suits.
You Can Now Read Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s Most Creative Text Insults for Justin Baldoni
Newly revealed texts and emails in the ongoing Justin Baldoni It Ends With Us lawsuit showcase friends who love each other and also go to therapy. Here are some of the duo’s most memorable disses and compliments.
If you ever need proof that the universe has a sense of humor, look no further than the lawsuit over the movie It Ends With Us and the legal drama between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively that simply refuses to end. The movie, an adaptation of the massively successful Colleen Hoover romance novel of the same name, was released on August 9, 2024, but the legal hullabaloo between Lively and Baldoni, who co-starred in the movie and served as producer and director, respectively, continues to drag on.
Taylor Swift, a noted pal of Lively’s (never forget that big-hair tracksuit moment at the 2024 Super Bowl), is not party to the current chapter of the lawsuit, Lively v. Wayfarer Studios LLC, a workplace harassment suit brought by Lively against Baldoni’s production arm, but where Swift is involved, even tangentially, lo, attention follows.

Netflix has announced a 90-minute documentary about the nurse found guilty of murdering seven babies.
In 2023, Lucy Letby was sentenced to 14 whole-life orders for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others between June 2015 and June 2016 while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
The trial and her sentencing garnered a huge amount of media attention and, despite her conviction, several unofficial investigations.
The documentary promises to offer one of the most comprehensive, in-depth looks into the notorious case to date.

Did you think Brat ended back in 2024? Oh, honey – think again. 2026 is shaping up to be the most bratty year ever, with the release of The Moment.

Red, White & Royal Blue 2: Everything we know so far
Our boys are back.
Hear ye, hear ye: Red, White & Royal Blue 2 is coming to our screens!
Real talk: we’ve been waiting years to see more of Alex and Henry since we first fell head over heels for their transatlantic love story in Red, White & Royal Blue. Sure, we’ve reread the book by Casey McQuiston, devoured her other queer romances, and put the film on repeat, but it’s never enough.
So imagine our exhilaration when Amazon Prime dropped the news: a Red, White & Royal Blue sequel is on its way. Yep, a proper sequel. We’re screaming just thinking about it.
But, of course, we have questions. Alex and Henry ended up happily ever after in the first film, so what could go wrong? Will Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez reprise their roles? When will Red, White & Royal Blue 2 actually hit screens? And most importantly… what fresh drama awaits our favourite couple?
These are the 5 Dress Trends That Will Be Everywhere in 2026, According to Fashion Insiders
From full-on florals to vintage-inspired slips
If the Spring/Summer 2026 runways were any indication—which, of course, they are—2026 is shaping up to be a year of dressing with intention. With newly appointed creative directors keen to make their mark through debut collections, and heritage houses stepping, however tentatively, beyond their comfort zones—just look to Chloé’s move away from its signature bohemia—the catwalks felt charged with a newfound focus. This translates into clearly defined trends for us, the consumers.
And just as full outfits, accessories and colour pairings fall within the trend cycle, so too do dresses—one of the most beloved and relied-upon elements of any wardrobe.
The Runways Have Spoken: Cool Blue Is the Neutral Color Trend to Know in 2026
Make room in your closet for the sophisticated shade.
While it’s true that many of 2026’s coveted color trends are highly saturated and quite noisy, there are other shades popping up that exist on the more subtle end of the spectrum. Most notably? Cool blue.
Resembling the icy tone of a frigid glacier, this serene hue emerged across several Spring 2026 designer collections, signaling a major rise in popularity. Simone Rocha showcased the frosty color on a delicate chiffon frock decorated with floral details and polished pearl embellishments. Victoria Beckham also opted for an elegant approach with an embroidered midi dress trimmed in lace. Tibi, on the other hand, played into a laid-back vibe, styling a baby blue turtleneck with wide-leg jeans and sequined flip-flops.
2016 Was the Last Year Beauty Felt Free
Despite being elaborate, 2016 beauty feels much simpler than today’s minimalist, clean-girl aesthetic. Ahead, Glamour editors share what this era of makeup and hair meant to them.
The year is 2016 and you’re getting ready for a night out. Drake’s “One Dance” is blaring from your iPhone and your Beachwaver curling iron is plugged in on the counter. You reach into your cosmetic bag for your favorite beauty product, most likely seen in a YouTube video from Michelle Phan, Jackie Aina, or NikkieTutorials. Maybe it’s the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer or the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit. Or could it be the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow? No matter; you apply your look with abandon, free from the pressure of TikTok trends and influencer endorsements.
It’s always easy to romanticize the past, but there was truly something special about 2016 beauty. Sure, our liquid matte lips were as dry as the Sahara desert and our eyebrows just a touch too dark, but nevertheless, we loved the way we looked. So much so that we documented it in countless photos and selfies (dog ears filter optional) and 10 years later decided to post them on the internet in a collective retrospective.
Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s Texts Are a Master Class in Resolving Conflict With Friends
This exchange is an unexpected bright spot amidst the ugly legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
You might find it ironic, but the Blake Lively and Taylor Swift texts released as part of Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni show a beautifully mature and kind approach to conflict. Amidst all the ugliness, it’s a welcome bright spot.
Many of the texts unsealed on January 20 (as reported by People) pertained to Baldoni, It Ends With Us, and certain points of contention. But one exchange revealed the toll the lawsuits and publicity have taken on Lively and Swift’s friendship. At one point or another, both Lively and Swift have been accused of being mean girls, but these messages show no such thing. Instead, the picture that emerges is one of two women who care deeply about each other and who are trying to heal a rift with grace and fairness. If anyone needed a reminder of the importance of female friendship, or a model for how to maintain one, well, here it is.
11 Best Leggings That Don’t Slip or Pill, Tested by Fitness Experts and Editors
Stock up for the fall.
As a longtime health and fitness journalist, I’m not exaggerating when I say finding the best leggings for women has led to me testing at least 50 pairs over the past decade. I’ve tried everything from running tights to budget-friendly Amazon pairs that rival even the most expensive options on the market. During my tireless quest to find the just-right pairs—ones with the perfect level of compression and comfy fabric that won’t slip, sag, or pill—I’ve locked in a few personal favorites. I also polled Glamour editors and fellow fitness pros to share their own reviews, taking factors like whether the leggings rolled down at any point, how sweat-wicking they were, and how well they stood up to at least five washes into account. Ahead, shop the best leggings for the gym, yoga, cardio, and lounging.
All The Hottest Guys Have The 401k Mullet
It’s no secret that the most polarizing haircut of all time—the mullet—is back in a big way this year.
Yes, business in the front and party in the back has been trending since the early 1970s, when David Bowie and Joan Jett proved that the mullet is both stylish and universally cool… though not always easy to pull off. It’s gone in and out of fashion ever since, and now Hollywood’s heartthrobs are leading the charge with a new shape altogether: Meet the 401k Mullet.

Marsala 101: Your Essential Guide to Sicily’s Most Misunderstood Wine
Saline-driven, food-friendly, and meant to be savored, Marsala is one of Sicily’s most expressive wines of place.
Most American home cooks meet Marsala in a skillet, splashed into a recipe for Chicken Marsala, reduced, and then forgotten on the back of a pantry shelf. That narrow use has unfairly shaped the fortified wine’s reputation in the U.S., obscuring a category with centuries of history and a surprising range of styles. But it’s time Marsala had its moment.
This deeply complex, sweet or dry wine style can best be understood through three verbs: simmer, sip, or savor. It’s a useful lens that unlocks the entire category.
The cooking association didn’t happen by accident. For decades, the most widely exported style to the U.S. was Marsala Fine, a young, sweet wine aged for just one year, eventually becoming shorthand for all Marsala.
Murder she wrote! Inside the Egyptian hotel where Agatha Christie penned Death On The Nile
Sofitel Legend Old Cataract, where Agatha Christie wrote her celebrated Egyptian whodunnit in 1937, continues to inspire guests today
There’s something about the lingering, longing accumulation of detail – the black and white photographs on the walls, the 1930s vintage red and white Fiat 1100 at the entrance, the bell boys in fezes, the rackety Victorian lift – that keeps this jewel of the Egyptian Grand Tour feeling so divinely authentic.
It definitely strikes an Agatha-Christie note, right down to its velveteen lawns and that view of the wooden feluccas sailing at sunset (a sight that has remained pretty-much unchanged since the author wrote Death On The Nile here in the winter of 1937).
Triangle of Death Piercings Are Everywhere in 2026: Septums, Bridges, & More
Whether they’re real or faux!
Perfectly coalescing with a new era of bold makeup, 2026’s biggest piercings trend is pieces that demand attention.

Now, we’re seeing an influx of piercings around the center of the face, often dubbed the triangle of death.
The next generation of celebrities are embracing piercings that are front and center. Dropping subtly in the height of a style renaissance, they’re making sure you don’t miss their pieces, whether they’re real or fake. Piercings in the center of the face, as opposed to those that are off the side like eyebrow or lip rings, are quickly becoming the trendiest style.
