What’s Coming to Netflix Next Month (December 2025)

It’s going to be a busy month on Netflix in December. I’m not even going to estimate how many hours of new content they’ve got over just 30 days. It’s a lot. Too much for any person to watch.

The highlights: The final episodes of Stranger Things, including the series finale on New Year’s Eve, the new Noah Baumbach movie Jay Kelly starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, and Wake Up Dead Man, the third Knives Out mystery movie from writer/director Rian Johnson and star Daniel Craig. Sandler will also appear on a special episode of My Next Guest With David Letterman, and there are also new episodes of Emily in Paris, several new Christmas movies and specials (including one featuring Sesame Street’s Muppets), and documentaries on John Elway and the making of Jay Kelly. 

Here’s the full list of what’s coming to Netflix in December 2025. It’s so much stuff you won’t even have to think about having a prolonged conversation with your in-laws over the holidays.
