New on Starz: All the Movies and TV Coming in January

Not to be overlooked in the monthly rush to figure out the next month’s brightest streaming highlights is Starz, where compelling movies (and the occasional worthwhile TV show) are hardly in short supply. The pay-cable channel’s library will soon be both gaining and losing titles worth your attention, so let us lay it all out for you.

Starz is saving the biggest (if not best) title on its January film slate for last: Spider-Man: Far From Home (Jan. 31, 2020), the second of Sony’s Tom Holland-starring, Marvel Cinematic Universe-adjoining Spidey standalones. The film reunites Holland with Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts and adds Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio, resulting in what Paste called a “sincere and funny” superhero blockbuster that “works great.” Jan. 1, 2020, meanwhile, brings us: stone-cold classics like Steven Spielberg magnum opus Schindler’s List, two of Quentin Tarantino’s best films in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, out-of-this-world Star Wars spoof Spaceballs, ‘70s disco picture Saturday Night Fever and the four original Lethal Weapon films; a handful of ‘00s standouts, including Peter Jackson’s epic King Kong reimagining, underdog ensemble dramedy Little Miss Sunshine and indelible Coen Brothers thriller No Country For Old Men; and Forrest Gump, a movie we deliberately did not list with the “stone-cold classics” out of disrespect. Later in the month, we have four American Tail moves (Jan. 10, 2020), underrated SNL spinoff MacGruber (Jan. 16, 2020), late-’80s cult classic John Carpenter’s They Live (Jan. 17, 2020) and Jim Jarmusch vampire film Only Lovers Left Alive (Jan. 31, 2020), to name a select few.

The TV category, on the other hand, is highlighted by the end of a long-running and acclaimed Starz original: Power, created by Courtney Kemp and executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, returns for its final five episodes starting Sunday, Jan. 5, 2020, at 8 p.m. ET on Starz (and 12:01 a.m. ET on the Starz app). Power’s sixth and final season, extended at 15 episodes, wrapped its 10-episode first installment back in November. James “Ghost” St. Patrick’s story will conclude with Season 6B next month, filling fans in on who shot the show’s protagonist and bringing the hit drama to an end. Of course, for those who can’t stand to let the show go, there’s also aftershow Power Confidential, airing weekly immediately following Power itself. Power is essentially the only game in town when it comes to January TV: Starz is adding episodes of Emmy-nominated ‘50s/’60s Western The Life And Legend Of Wyatt Earp (episodes 1-226) and animated kids series Little Charmers (episodes 101-120), but that’s literally it.

We’ll leave you with what’s leaving Starz come January: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Jan. 4, 2020), Trumbo (Jan. 16, 2020), All The Money In The World (Jan. 24, 2020) and Proud Mary (Jan. 24, 2020) are on their way out relatively soon, while you’ll have a bit more time to catch 28 Days Later (Jan. 31, 2020), Attack The Block (Jan. 31, 2020), Bull Durham (Jan. 31, 2020), E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Jan. 31, 2020), Good Will Hunting (Jan. 31, 2020), Say Anything… (Jan. 31, 2020), Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (Jan. 31, 2020) and the Back To The Future movies (Jan. 31, 2020). Plan your movie nights accordingly.
