Netflix’s New Releases Coming in December 2021

Jane Campion-directed Western The Power of the Dog, the second season of fantasy drama The Witcher and climate disaster satire Don’t Look Up are among the most anticipated titles hitting Netflix in December.

Based on the 1967 novel of the same name, The Power of the Dog drops on Dec. 1 and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Phil, one half of a wealthy ranch-owning duo, who hates Kirsten Dunst’s Rose as quickly as his brother George (Jesse Plemons) is taken with her. As Rose and her son, Peter, attempt to make a home for themselves on the ranch, Phil is unrelenting in his efforts to humiliate and belittle them both until Phil begins to have a change of heart when it comes to Peter.

Adam McKay rounds up an all-star cast for his sci-fi black comedy Don’t Look Up, which hits the streamer on Dec. 24. Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence lead, playing two low-level astronomers who go on a media tour in an attempt to warn mankind about a deadly comet approaching Earth. The commentary on worldwide government responses to the current climate crisis also counts Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Rob Morgan, Mark Rylance, Tyler Perry, Ron Perlman, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande and Scott Mescudi among its cast.

Netflix original film The Unforgivable, meanwhile, hits the streamer on Dec. 10. The movie stars Sandra Bullock as a woman newly released from prison attempting to find the little sister she had to give up amid a community that won’t forgive her for her crime.

Library titles streaming this month include Zack Snyder’s fantasy action film Sucker Punch, the best picture-nominated 2000 comedy-drama Chocolat, the Tom Cruise-led and Steven Spielberg-directed sci-fi action film Minority Report, Stephen King adaptation Pet Sematary and Fast Color, the inclusive superhero drama starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

On the TV front, the second season of Netflix’s wildly popular The Witcher, an adaptation of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski popular novels and their CD Projekt Red video game offshoot, arrives in its entirety on Dec. 17. The next set of eight episodes sees Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia taking Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) to his childhood home of Kaer Morhen, where he works to keep her safe not just from those battling outside its walls but from a mysterious power she possesses inside herself. The third and final season of Lost in Space is set to debut on Dec. 1, while the highly anticipated fourth season of Cobra Kai drops on Dec. 31. International hit Money Heist part five, volume two begins streaming on Dec. 3.

Comedy specials releasing on the streamer in December include Nicole Byer: BBW (Big Beautiful Weirdo) and Jim Gaffigan: Comedy Monster. Notable reality series include Coming Out Colton and the sixth season of Queer Eye. The fourth season of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous and the sixth season of Fast & Furious Spy Racers are among the animated kids series debuting in December. Christmas titles bound to bring holiday cheer include Single All the Way and the fourth season of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays.
