New episodes of the final season of Shameless will also stream in January, along with Shameless Hall of Fame, which features new original scenes juxtaposed with a look at each character’s trajectory over the show’s 10 seasons. Subscribers can also catch new episodes of Your Honor, which stars Cranston as a judge whose son is involved in a hit and run with wide-ranging consequences.
