Every month, streaming services add movies and TV shows to their libraries. Here are our picks for some of January’s most promising new titles. (Note: Streaming services occasionally change schedules without giving notice. For more recommendations on what to stream, sign up for our Watching newsletter here.)

‘On Call’ Season 1
Starts streaming: Jan. 9

Wolf Entertainment — the production company behind the “Law & Order” and “FBI” franchises — takes a somewhat different approach to the police procedural with its latest series, “On Call.” Cocreated by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf, it follows a veteran Long Beach, Calif., beat cop, Traci Harmon (Troian Bellisario), and the rookie Alex Diaz (Brandon Larracuente) through typical shifts, as they do their best to take down criminals and to help people affected by drugs and guns — all while dealing with the tricky office politics within their department. Each episode is about a half-hour long, and each occasionally uses the perspective of the officers’ body-cams to add a touch of “you are there” realism.

Jan. 2
“The Rig” Season 2

Jan. 16
“The Calendar Killer”
“Unstoppable”

Jan. 17
“Molly-Mae: Behind It All”

‘Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches’ Season 2
Starts streaming: Jan. 5

The second of AMC’s interconnected shows set in the author Anne Rice’s gothic horror universe (after “Interview with the Vampire”) is based on a trilogy of novels, tracing the connections between multiple generations of magicians. Alexandra Daddario plays Rowan, a San Francisco surgeon whose life is upended when she discovers she has supernatural powers and previously unknown ties to an old, aristocratic New Orleans family. Jack Huston plays a mysterious shape-shifting demon known as Lasher, who has been haunting, seducing and manipulating Rowan’s ancestors for centuries. The first season of “Mayfair Witches” introduced the characters’ ancient power struggle. In Season 2, Lasher’s threat intensifies, as he possesses Rowan’s newborn child.

Also arriving:

“Irreversible: The Straight Cut”
“The Others”
