Crime-Solving Duo Joins Netflix in January

Netflix is gearing up for a big January shake-up, with plenty of new shows joining the platform. Among the fresh arrivals is the crime drama "Rizzoli & Isles, " which is making its Netflix debut. This show isn't new to TV—it aired on TNT from 2010 to 2016. Now, all seven seasons, totaling 105 episodes, will be available on Netflix starting January 20, 2026. It's one of four new additions that day, alongside a cooking show, a reality competition, and a wrestling docuseries. "Rizzoli & Isles" follows detectives Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles as they solve crimes in Boston. The show is based on a book series by Tess Gerritsen and stars Angie Harmon as Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander as Isles. Other notable actors in the cast include Lorraine Bracco, Bruce McGill, and the late Lee Thompson Young. The show gained popularity over its six-year run. Harmon and Alexander even won awards for their performances. But does it stand out in the crowded crime drama genre? It has its fans, but it's not as widely talked about as some other shows. For those who enjoy crime-solving duos and procedural dramas, "Rizzoli & Isles" might be a fun pick. It's not groundbreaking, but it's entertaining enough for a binge-watch. If you're new to the show, January 2026 is your chance to catch up.
