Best Netflix shows Thanksgiving 2022

Here are some of the best Netflix shows to watch on Thanksgiving, including some recent releases and tried-and-true favorites! Let’s begin with the Netflix comedy series Dead to Me.

Dead to Me

The third and final season of Dead to Me premiered on Netflix one week before Thanksgiving and brought the winding story of Jen (Christina Applegate) and Judy (Linda Cardellini) to a bittersweet end. As the FBI inches closer to the partners in crime, the pair reels from their hit and run accident and shocking revelations test their friendship. Dead to Me’s final season might be a bit emotional, but when’s a better time to watch than when there’s leftover pie?

Wednesday

There’s only one new Netflix series release coming during Thanksgiving week in 2022, and it’s so big they had to drop it on the Wednesday before the holiday. Tim Burton’s take on The Addams Family arrives in the form of Wednesday, a coming-of-age story starring Jenna Ortega as the iconic Wednesday Addams. It’s the new show everyone will be binge-watching during the extended holiday weekend. Don’t miss the exciting debut of Wednesday!

Gilmore Girls

Is it even the fall season if you don’t rewatch Gilmore Girls on Netflix for the millionth time? Whether you start from the beginning or just watch your favorite episodes, you have to watch some Gilmore Girls in the fall months. It’s a rule! Curl up on the couch with some leftover Thanksgiving treats and watch “A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving,” the fall episode of A Year in the Life, or begin a full rewatch once again. As long as the Mallomars hold out!

Firefly Lane

While there are so many comforting, cozy, feel-good Netflix shows (like Virgin River, Sweet Magnolias, Bridgerton, etc.), a new season of Firefly Lane will be heading our way right after Thanksgiving. Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke will be back as Tully and Kate in Firefly Lane season 2 part 1 on Dec. 2, and there’s no better time to catch up (it’s been almost two years!) with what you might have forgotten in the lovable first season.

1899

Even though some Netflix viewers might prefer some lighter fare for their Thanksgiving binge-watching, the holiday has also been known as the home to many tentpole blockbuster releases. This year, Netflix dropped 1899, the dark mystery series that has everyone talking. If you’re looking for a series to get sucked into, to keep you guessing, and to keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, watch 1899 on Netflix this Thanksgiving.

New Girl

We all know that when it comes to sitcoms, Friends holds the Thanksgiving crown. The enduring favorite boasts 10 amazing Thanksgiving episodes that are classics. But New Girl also delivered its own fair share of classic Thanksgiving episodes full of chaos and mayhem. From defrosting a turkey to dealing with Jess’s parents to camping, the loft gang endured so many hilarious mishaps over the holidays. Watch the series on Netflix while it’s still available.
