Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials

Calling all book lovers! If you’ve ever devoured an Agatha Christie novel and thought, “I wish this could leap off the page and onto my screen,” then Seven Dials on Netflix is your dream come true. Based on Christie's 1929 novel The Seven Dials Mystery, the Netflix series adaptation offers a modern take on the beloved book.

Set in 1925 England, the story follows the clever and daring Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent, who unexpectedly finds herself at the center of a deadly mystery when a seemingly harmless prank at a grand country house party spirals into murder. With curiosity as her guide and courage as her weapon, Bundle must untangle a web of secrets, cryptic clues, and hidden agendas before the truth slips through her fingers.

No Tail to Tell

• Release date: Jan. 16, 2026
• Directed by: Kim Jung-kwon
• Written by: Park Chan-young and Jo Ah-young
• Cast: Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon

Netflix has consistently been putting out great Korean content, whether it's a movie or a show. In January 2026, the streaming giant will be releasing the romantic comedy series No Tail to Tell. But this isn’t your typical rom-com with meet-cutes and predictable love triangles. For starters, it mixes Korean folklore with modern romance, injecting magical chaos into everyday life.

The series centers around Eun‑ho, a centuries-old gumiho, or nine-tailed fox, who has lived for hundreds of years avoiding human life and the responsibilities that come with it. That is, until a magical accident involving Kang Si‑yeol, a world-class soccer star, turns her into an ordinary human. Suddenly, Eun-ho finds herself navigating the chaotic, confusing, and hilarious world of humans, all while dealing with her growing feelings for Si‑yeol.

Finding Her Edge

• Release date: Jan. 22, 2026
• Written by: Jeff Norton
• Cast: Madelyn Keys, Alexandra Beaton, Alice Malakhov, Cale Ambrozic, Olly Atkins

Finding Her Edge is for those who can’t get enough of teen romance, family drama, and a little bit of friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) competition. It'll easily remind you of the short-lived Netflix series, Spinning Out, with its high-stakes figure skating, complicated relationships, and the pressure of chasing your dreams.

Based on Jennifer Iacopelli’s popular YA novel of the same name, Finding Her Edge follows Adriana Russo, a determined young figure skater trying to make her mark in the world of competitive skating while helping her family keep their rink afloat. But things get complicated when Adriana is paired with a new skating partner. She soon finds herself having to navigate a fake romance, lingering feelings for her first love, and the intense pressure to succeed both on and off the ice.
