TV What’s new on Netflix in December 2024: Maria, Squid Game, a Sabrina Carpenter special, and Jamie Foxx's return A wild new true crime series, a Kiera Knightley spy thriller, more "Queer Eye" and "Virgin River," and the streamer's first NFL programming are all inbound. By Ryan Coleman Published on December 1, 2024 08:00AM EST Comments 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the streamer, more new titles were stirring, (janky boxing not featured) — from TV, to movies and comedy specials to anime, reality, the NFL, and much more, the offerings were splendid with stars and drama galore! December is on our doorstep, and Netflix is prepared with a calendar full of bingeable favorites and intriguing new titles alike. This year's standout titles include the highly anticipated second season of Squid Game, the South Korean thriller that set the world on fire in 2021. There's also Maria, the latest look at a glamorous grieving lady from Pablo Larraín (Jackie, Spencer). The Maria Callas biopic electrified the Venice International Film Festival back in August and is already garnering Best Actress Oscar buzz for star Angelina Jolie. Sabrina Carpenter, Lisa Kudrow, Ray Romano, and Jamie Foxx. Alfredo Flores/Netflix; Courtesy of Netflix; Romain Maurice/Getty Beyond the typical movie and TV beat, there are three specials sure to attract millions of eyeballs when they drop next month: A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter follows in the footsteps of 2019's Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, teaming the "Espresso" pop star with guests like Chappell Roan, Shania Twain, and Kali Uchis to sing a medley of holiday classics. Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was... marks the Academy Award winner's return to the comedy stage after an extended bout with a still-undisclosed health issue last spring. Finally, Netflix fully moves into the sporting arena by becoming the exclusive streaming home of two Christmas NFL games. Elsewhere on the calendar for next month, Tyler Perry debuts The Six Triple Eight, a new historical drama starring Kerry Washington, and Carry-On teams Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman for a Christmas Eve-set thriller centered on a bad TSA experience. The horror! There are also four other comedy specials beyond Foxx's, from Fortune Feimster, Ronny Chieng, Nate Bargatze, and Michelle Buteau. Maria is an exquisitely crafted tone poem with Angelina Jolie enacting Maria Callas' final days Brand new international films and series promise something for every type of viewer. For the history buff, Italy's The Children's Train; for the hopeless romantic, South Africa's Umjolo: Day Ones; for the fan of Hunger Games-style dystopic class war, Thailand's Tomorrow + I; and for the literary-minded, Colombia's adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. TV programming is where things get really interesting. We have Kiera Knightley leading a new spy thriller called Black Doves, a new serial killer series from horror maestro Alex De La Iglesia, the wild true crime docuseries The Kings of Tupelo, and the frontrunner in most stacked cast of the year, No Good Deed, a series that features Ray Romano, Denis Leary, Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, Abbi Jacobson, Teyonah Harris, Lisa Kudrow, Linda Lavin, and more in a dark comedy about the petit bourgeoisie. Finally, you can look forward to new seasons of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays, Queer Eye (featuring new host Jeremiah Brent after Bobby Berk exited last year), The Manny, and Virgin River.
