Somehow, December starts on Tuesday even though it only feels like yesterday that the world was turning as normal and everyone was going about their business as usual before the Coronavirus pandemic came along and changed everything. As is the case every time we enter a new month, though, the various streaming services on offer are adding a whole host of new titles to their libraries and over the next seven days, Netflix has more than 50 movies and TV shows heading our way.
The list contains about everything you’d expect, from some all-time classics to several pretty terrible efforts that still stand a decent chance of cracking the Top 10 most-watched list, while there are even a couple of Adam Sandler films thrown in for good measure along with a handful of high-profile originals, and you can check out the full and exhaustive selection below.

Unsurprisingly, there’s an avalanche of Christmas-themed content coming down the pipeline, as well as the standard mix of comedy specials, documentaries and cartoons for the youngsters. Meanwhile, David Fincher’s Mank is poised to draw in some big numbers given his standing as one of the most acclaimed filmmakers in the industry, and Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park and E.T. are always worth a watch.
Elsewhere, Kevin Costner’s 3 Days to Kill feels like the sort of B-level actioner which usually plays well with subscribers and could be one of December’s sleeper hits, and as you can see above, there’s a veritable buffet of genres coming to Netflix over the next seven days, with at least one new arrival that appeals to even the most indecisive of viewers.
