Streaming giant Netflix is preparing to conclude 2025 with an explosive content lineup designed to keep subscribers glued to their screens throughout the festive month of December. The platform has curated a powerful mix of returning favourites, major original films, and licensed classics to cater to diverse Indian audiences.
Blockbuster Premieres Anchor The Month
The December roster is packed with headline-grabbing releases that promise significant viewership. Kicking off the major launches is The Abandons on December 4, a new Western series from showrunner Kurt Sutter that delves into a brutal conflict over land and power.
One of the most anticipated cinematic events is Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, premiering on December 12. The film sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as the master detective Benoit Blanc, leading an ensemble cast in another gripping whodunit.
Fans of light-hearted drama can mark their calendars for Emily in Paris Season 5, which drops on December 18. This season, Lily Collins's character, Emily, will be navigating her life split between the fashion capitals of Paris and Rome.
Season Finales and Holiday Specials
Netflix is treating viewers to a spectacular holiday gift with the final chapters of its flagship series. Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2 is set for a dramatic two-part release. The first three episodes will land on Christmas Day, December 25, building up to the grand series finale on New Year's Eve, December 31.
For those seeking festive cheer, the platform is releasing a sleigh-full of holiday rom-coms. Titles like My Secret Santa, A Lot Like Christmas, Holiday in Santa Fe, and Joy for Christmas are sure to get viewers into the holiday spirit. Adding to the seasonal content is Meghan Markle's new special, With Love, Meghan, an early December release focusing on cooking and crafting.
Global Content and Departing Titles
Emphasizing its global reach, Netflix will also debut several international hits for Indian audiences. Subscribers can look forward to Love is Blind: Italy, the Korean production The Price of Confession, the Colombian thriller Fugue State 1986, and the Australian mystery series Playing Gracie Darling.
Documentary enthusiasts have compelling options with All The Empty Rooms, a poignant exploration of gun-violence grief, and The New Yorker at 100, a deep dive into the iconic magazine's century-long legacy.
Family viewing options are also plentiful, with the return of the Rio films and the arrival of Cheaper By The Dozen 1 and 2. For cinematic depth, classics like Cast Away, Beowulf, and Babylon will be added to the library.
However, viewers should note that several popular shows are exiting the platform this month. It's the last chance to binge How I Met Your Mother, Arrow, and Supernatural on Netflix before they are removed from the library.
