WASHINGTON — With the start of the new year comes a whole slate of new movies and shows that'll be available for streaming to help us all get through these winter months.  

Unfortunately, by the time 2021 rolls around, "The Office," "The West Wing," "Dexter" and "Nurse Jackie" will all be gone from Netflix.

But the streaming platform will kick off 2021 by adding "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Goodfellas" to its movie lineup.

January will also feature the premiere of the third season of "Cobra Kai," a series based on the "Karate Kid" movie franchise and set 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. 

Nicolas Cage is back in action, but he's not here to steal the Declaration of Independence this time. He's headed to Netflix in January to host a new series called "History of Swear Words," offering up an education in expletives.

And the new docuseries "Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer," will dive deep into the search for a relentless serial killer in 1985 Los Angeles.
