This month, your favourite streaming platforms have just released a slate of new and exciting titles and we couldn’t be more thrilled to start on something new while we sink into our couches and laze through the weekend. Whether you’re streaming it on Netflix, Disney+ or Viu, ahead, we’ve gathered all the new shows that you should keep a lookout for this January.

Unmasked

After years of steering clear of advertisers and breaking some of the country’s biggest, most controversial stories, the Trigger investigative news team is now facing its toughest challenge yet. Their careers are on the line after airing an exceptionally contentious story, and with the clock ticking, they have one last shot to turn things around. To save their jobs, they must pull off the impossible: unmask the insider leaking their personal secrets and solve a 20-year-old cold case about a famous actor who vanished without a trace. The show sees the likes of Kim Hyesoo as tenacious presenter Oh Soryong, Jung Sungil who plays the role of the rookie producer Han Do, and Joo Jonghyuk as contractor Kang Giho.
