New year, same old Netflix: They’ve got dozens of original series and movies coming to the service starting in January 2023. The highlights include That ’90s Show, the new continuation of That ’70s Show featuring most of the original cast in regular or guest-starring roles, as well as You People, the new comedy from Kenya Barris starring Eddie Murphy and Jonah Hill.

There’s also a new season of the Kung Fu Panda animated series, a documentary on Bernie Madoff, and the historical thriller The Pale Blue Eye, which stars Christian Bale as a detective who teams with author Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling) to solve a series of murders. Plus, if you’re in the mood for something a little older, two different Tom Cruise classics — Top Gun and Minority Report — are among the library titles being added at the start of the new year.
