Netflix to Add 77 New Titles In December – Here Are the 3 Most Interesting

Netflix this month (December 2024) plans to add 77 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

NFL on Christmas – Netflix Exclusive
Netflix was slow to embrace live sports but it will be the talk of the sports world on Christmas Day when it hosts an exclusive doubleheader of NFL games: the Baltimore Ravens at the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET. Can Netflix fix the embarrassing technical issues which plagued the live broadcast of last month’s Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight? And what will happen if it can’t? Will Netflix step back from live sports altogether? On Christmas, there will be more at stake than just the playoff positions of the teams. Debuts in 4K on Christmas, December 25.

Squid Game, season two – Netflix original
And debuting the day after Christmas is season two of Netflix’s surprise hit, Squid Game, a drama featuring hundreds of broke contestants who go for broke by risking their lives for cash prizes in a game show. The South Korean-made series is a biting but sometimes inspiring commentary on class warfare and the human survival instinct. Debuts December 26.

Carry-On – Netflix original film.
Taron Egerton stars as a TSA agent whose Christmas Eve routine is disrupted when a passenger (Jason Bateman) instructs him not to inspect a mysterious suitcase or he will kill his pregnant girlfriend (Sofia Carson). The cat-and-mouse game begins as Egerton contemplates whether he should alert airport authorities while Bateman says he will raise the stakes if he does. It’s a great premise and the trailer looks equally impressive. Must watch here. Debuts December 13.
