What are the biggest web series and TV shows in January 2023? Kickstarting the New Year is the live-action adaptation of the acclaimed PlayStation video game, The Last of Us, and the fourth season of Fauda. The former is hands down the most anticipated series this year, where you experience an emotional zombie-killing adventure through the eyes of beloved characters, Joel and Ellie, as they navigate a post-apocalyptic America, flush with desperate survivors. HBO’s The Last of Us series premieres January 16 on Disney+ Hotstar. A bit later, check out Fauda season 4, which finally heads to Netflix, following its Israeli premiere in July, and throws brooding soldier Doron Kavillio (Lior Raz) into a new deadly operation in Lebanon. The series is out on January 20 on Netflix.

Social media influencer , Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, have united with Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother) for Shrinking, a new drama series that deals with mental health in a comedic sense. In it, he plays a grieving therapist, who starts breaching ethical barriers and telling patients exactly what he thinks, resulting in tumultuous changes to his and their lives.

Shrinking marks the second Apple TV project for Segel, after the 2022 musical drama film The Sky Is Everywhere. The 10-episode series also stars the legendary Harrison Ford (Blade Runner) as Dr. Phil Rhodes, Jessica Williams (The Twilight Zone), Christa Miller (Cougar Town), Lukita Maxwell, and Michael Urie.

The first two episodes of Shrinking premiere globally on January 27, after which it follows a weekly schedule.
