How does this year’s haul compare to previous years? Well, not great in pure quantity terms.

In 2020, 124 new titles hit Netflix for January 1st whereas in 2019 it was 114. That shouldn’t come as a huge surprise for anyone that’s been following us for a while given that licensed content is becoming a bit of a novelty.
