Netflix December 2026: Every Big Movie, Series and Live Event Coming This Month

December is when Netflix pulls out all the stops, and this year’s lineup is packed. A new David Fincher film, a Tarantino script, a Jane Austen retelling, a heavyweight boxing match and Christmas Day football all land within a few weeks. Here’s your early guide, organised so you can plan your watchlist without scrolling through endless lists.

Netflix December 2026: The Biggest Titles

Week One: Comfort Classics and Prestige Dramas

The month opens with a big wave of arrivals on December 1. Licensed favourites include Edward Scissorhands, Coyote Ugly, The Kitchen, The Good Liar and the thriller Awake. On the Originals side, Druski headlines the comedy Collect & Praise, while Trinity stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as a submarine commander tangled up with Richard Madden’s US Defense Secretary.

December 2 brings the Christmas time-loop film In a Holidaze, the Spanish epic La Bola Negra with Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close, and a documentary about Subcomandante Marcos. On December 3, Pride and Prejudice is the main event, with Rufus Sewell and Olivia Colman as the Bennets. Fans of Asian drama also get Empress of Flames from Thailand and the rom-com My Crazy Feminist Girlfriend. Rounding out the week, Ava DuVernay’s documentary 14TH arrives on December 4, and the rom-com You, Me & Tuscany, with Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page, lands on December 7.

Mid-Month: True Crime, Comedy and Global Stories

December 10 belongs to The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey, a limited series about a family navigating grief and media scrutiny while a flawed investigation unravels. The next day is one of the busiest of the month. Cameron Diaz stars in Bad Day, while the animated drama In Waves and a documentary on artist Jean-Michel Basquiat also arrive. International fans get the Spanish thriller Proxies and the Korean drama Tantara, starring Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo.

Later in the week, Taraji P. Henson plays a baker chasing her dream in Give Me Some Sugah (December 16), and Quiztopia, a Japanese thriller, arrives on December 17 alongside the South African romance Tuiskoms Season 2 and the Indian American family drama Unaccustomed Earth. Family viewers can enjoy Gabby’s Dollhouse: Makers and Bakers Holiday (December 9) and the teen drama Sunshine Girls (December 15).

Live Events You Shouldn’t Miss

Netflix is going big on live programming this December.

The Fury vs. Joshua fight is a legacy-defining heavyweight clash, and the Christmas doubleheader makes Netflix a sports destination as well as a streaming one.

The Headline Act: Cliff Booth

On December 23, Brad Pitt returns as the stuntman Cliff Booth in The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. The story follows him doing odd jobs and dangerous favours in 1977 Los Angeles. David Fincher directs a script by Quentin Tarantino, and the cast includes Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. It’s the title most likely to dominate conversation this holiday season.

A Strong Finish with Ray Gunn and Emily

Before that, on December 18, Brad Bird’s long-gestating animated film Ray Gunn arrives, with Sam Rockwell as a private eye and Scarlett Johansson as a multimedia star. The same day brings Beyond Society, a documentary series about the aftermath of the 1972 Andes plane crash. Then on Christmas Eve, Emily in Paris returns for Season 6, with its heroine facing a final choice between her career, her heart and the life she has built.

How to Plan Your December Watchlist?

Start with the heavy hitters on the biggest dates (December 3, 10, 11 and 23), then fill gaps with the shorter or lighter picks. If you love holiday movies, In a Holidaze is the obvious pick, and if you prefer international content, the Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Thai and Brazilian titles make a rich lineup.
