New Netflix movies and shows coming in December 2022

If you can believe it, the year has almost come to an end! We’ve reached the final month of 2022, but that doesn’t mean the list of new Netflix movies and shows coming before the end of the year will slow down. If anything, it’s one of the most packed months of 2022.

You might still be making your way through new episodes of Manifest, Dead to Me, and The Crown in December, but you will want to carve out some room on your watch list for the highly anticipated new seasons of feel-good shows Firefly Lane and Emily in Paris.

There’s even more new Netflix content to look forward on the movie side of things with so many blockbuster-level original films coming in December. You won’t be without something to watch on movie nights at any given point of the month, especially during the holiday break.
