Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches returns to AMC+ for its second season on January 5.

It continues the journey of Rowan Mayfair (Alexandra Daddario) after she has unwittingly given birth to the demon Lasher (Jack Huston).

She is determined to understand what he has become – human or monster? – and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer. But when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own desires and fight to protect her family.

S2 of Annika can be binged from January 6 on AMC+ and Acorn.

Unforgotten’s Nicola Walker plays DI Annika Strandhed, whose Marine Homicide Unit investigates brutal and unexplained murders that wash up in Scotland’s waters.

The team dynamic shifts this season, pushing them to rapidly adapt as they encounter murders more complex than ever before. Meanwhile, Annika balances a family dynamic that grows more complicated as long-held secrets from the past begin to impact her relationships.

Case Sensitive S1-2 can be binged from January 20 on AMC+ and Acorn. Reads the blurb:

When Geraldine Bretherick and her five-year-old daughter Lucy are found dead in the bathroom of their luxury home, the case divides new DS Charlie Zailer (Olivia Williams, The Crown) and her DC Simon Waterhouse (Darren Boyd, Trying). Is it a murder-suicide or something more sinister, and how watertight is the alibi of the apparently distraught husband Mark? Meanwhile, when Sally Thorne, a young working mother with a husband and two small children hears of the deaths, she is deeply shocked. Months before she’d met a man called Mark Bretherick at a hotel and they had a brief but passionate affair. Now, against the advice of her best friend Esther, Sally feels the need to get in touch with Mark again to offer her sympathy.

Tia Mowry: My Next Act (January 13) is an AMC+ exclusive about the actor (Sister, Sister) “removing the filter like never before” while embarking on a journey of self-discovery post-divorce as a mother and businesswoman.

Dark Match (January 31) leads the new movies on Shudder and AMC+.

A small-time wrestling company accepts a too-good-to-be-true gig in a backwoods town — only to learn it is run by a mysterious cult leader and their event is now a pay-per-view fight to the death. WWE superstar Chris Jericho stars.
