The Hateful Eight: Extended Cut

Although it was originally released as a movie in 2015, Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight was re-released as a 4-part miniseries that will be leaving Netflix on Monday, January 26. If you haven't seen the extended cut, which features 26 additional minutes compared to the original film, this weekend is your last chance to do so on Netflix.

The Hateful Eight: Extended Cut features the same ensemble cast as the film, led by Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and more. With its lengthy 3.5-hour runtime, The Hateful Eight is truly best experienced as a 4-part miniseries – binge Tarantino's Western thriller on Netflix while there's still time.

His & Hers

For two consecutive weeks since its January 8 premiere, the 6-part psychological thriller series His & Hers has held the #1 trending worldwide spot on Netflix. Led by the fantastic duo of Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, this suspenseful whodunnit mystery has dominated global charts throughout January 2026.

If you haven't seen His & Hers by now, consider this weekend a fantastic opportunity to do so, considering that this is the first week of the new year in which Netflix hasn't dropped a brand new thriller series. Other new additions, like the teen drama series Finding Her Edge or the cooking reality show Just a Dash, are also available as of this week. That said, His & Hers has been so successful that it deserves the spotlight once again this weekend on Netflix.
