In December 2020, Netflix will keep on adding Christmas content, along with the fourth season of an adult animated series, David Fincher’s latest movie, a sci-fi movie directed by George Clooney, and the final part of the adventures of a famous witch. As the coronavirus pandemic continues, streaming services continue to be the go-to source of entertainment for many, as well as the answer for many studios whose biggest movies couldn’t get a proper theatrical release this year. Along with its original TV shows and movies, Netflix has also been the new home of some of those movies which couldn’t be released in theaters, and it will continue to do so this month.
Last month saw the addition of movies like Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, the fantasy drama Casper, Eli Roth’s Knock Knock, the action movie V for Vendetta, and TV shows like Dawson’s Creek and American Horror Story: 1984. Among the original content Netflix brought in November are the Swedish TV series Love and Anarchy, the Italian drama The Life Ahead, the Christmas movies Operation Christmas Drop, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, The Princess Switch: Switched Again, Dolly Parton’s Christmas On The Square, the TV series Dash & Lily, and season 4 of The Crown. This month, Netflix will welcome the first three movies in the Jurassic Park franchise, the comedy 50 First Dates, the classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Garry Marshall’s Runaway Bride.
As for original content, and aside from all the holiday titles still waiting to be released, Netflix subscribers will get to enjoy season 4 of an animated series about puberty, David Fincher’s latest drama movie, a sci-fi movie directed by and starring George Clooney, a TV series about the life of a famous singer, and the final part in the adventures of a famous witch from Greendale. Here’s everything releasing on Netflix in December 2020.
