January is the first month of the Winter 2026 lineup, and anime enthusiasts are already looking forward to another exciting season. In recent years, Netflix has been more and more involved with new anime projects as the industry continues to grow at an exponential rate. As one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world, it has several incredible features and continues to expand almost every month. While fans await the return of hit shows next month, such as Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Jujutsu Kaisen, Hell’s Paradise, and more, Netflix has its own range of original series awaiting their debut.
Since One Piece‘s anime will be on hiatus in January next year, the platform won’t be able to add weekly episodes for the first time in a while. Instead, 15 episodes of One Piece‘s HD remastered version of the beloved East Blue Saga will be added on January 15th, 2026. Apart from this, the streaming giant will include three completely original anime as well.
3) Pokémon Horizons: Season 3—Rising Hope (Part 1)
