7 Fantasy Shows for the Whole Family on Netflix in January 2024

Fantasy is a genre that appeals to all generations, thanks to its magical and somewhat escapist atmosphere. However, not every fantasy movie or series is suitable for showing to a child, let alone watching with the whole family.

Luckily, the Netflix library comes to the rescue, ready to satisfy any request. Here are seven great family-friendly fantasy shows that will be available on the streaming service in January 2024.
