Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 11 MIN.
It's January, which means new year, new you, new streaming shows to entertain and excite us!
We're thrilled to be back with Alan Cumming and new devious contestants on "The Traitors," and we are delighted to see that queer "Kitty XO" protagonist, Kitty, will be dating more girls at KISS this season. We look forward to seeing "White Lotus" actor Leo Woodall play a math genius under NSA surveillance in a conspiracy thriller, while Philemona Cunk goes out to explore the real meaning of life. This month, we'll meet a new cast of "Drag Race" queens, uncover behind-the-scenes scandals of "The Jerry Springer Show," and finally discover what happens with the gay "innie" workplace romance on "Severance." All this and so much more is available to watch this month – there's action, mystery, romance, and reality drama. Happy streaming!
"Cunk on Life"
"Is life's meaning a riddle that even can be answered? And if so, should we listen, or cover our ears to avoid spoilers?" With the follow-up to her Netflix series, "Cunk on Earth," quirky "documentarian" Philomena Cunk delves into life's profound questions, exploring topics ranging from art history to AI, meeting academics and "professional mammals," all while making her trademark deadpan observations about "the point of it all." She'll introduce her audience to "some of history's foremost thinkers and ground-breaking creatives, from Dostoyevsky to Van Gogh, from Nietzsche to whoever came up with those signs in kitchens that say, 'Live Laugh Love.'" We can't wait to learn from this educational, enlightening experience.
"Cunk on Life" premieres January 2 on Netflix.
"RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 17
"This year's lineup of queens promises a little bit of everything, from razor-sharp comedy to jaw-dropping runway looks, all competing for the $200,000 grand prize." The "Rate-A-Queen" system that was introduced last season is back, "now with an all-new twist that's sure to keep viewers guessing." So the Season 17 queens must be ready to slay, while taking on Rate-A-Queen and a dunk tank called the "badonka-donk." They've gotta be ready for backstage drama and shade to be thrown, while preparing to perform for a cast of celebrity guest judges that includes Adam Lambert, Hunter Schafer, Doechii, and living legend fashion icon Betsey Johnson.
"RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 17 premieres January 3 on MTV.
