A new week arrives which brings not only the beginning of a new year but also many new things for the world of Netflix and TV series in general. And as usual, our appointment with the most anticipated and interesting Netflix releases of the next few days is back. The streaming platform continues to churn out lots of new titles to get excited about week after week and to give you a complete picture of what awaits us on Netlfix this week, here are the best new Netflix releases from 13 to 19 January 2025.
ACAB, the action series with Adriano Giannini (15 January)
Among the most anticipated Netflix series this week is ACAB, the new Italian action series with Adriano Giannini, Valentina Bellè, Marco Giallini, Pierluigi Gigante and Fabrizio Nardi. Inspired by the film ACAB by Stefano Sollima, this series tells the story of a team from the Mobile Department of Rome which, during a harsh battle, is left orphaned by its leader, who is seriously injured. That of Mazinga (Marco Giallini), Marta (Valentina Bellè) and Salvatore (Pierluigi Gigante), however, is not a team like the others, it is Rome, which has learned to oppose the disorders with extreme methods and a tribal harmony, almost from family. A family that the new commander, Michele (Adriano Giannini), son of the reformist police, will have to deal with, for whom teams like that are the symbol of an old school, yet to be re-founded. As if the chaos that affects the new formation at the moment of maximum internal fragility was not enough, there is added that given by a new wave of people’s discontent towards the institutions.
