We honestly have to wonder if Netflix even really needs to purchase Warner Bros. because the streamer is already so strong on the content front. The Netflix December line-up is a flex, including the next batch of Stranger Things Season 5 episodes (leading up to the New Year’s Day show-ending finale), and the third all-star Knives Out mystery, Wake Up Dead Man, heading the entertainment pack. Below you’ll find what we’ll be watching, followed by everything else on the line-up.

The Abandons

Washington Territory – 1854 – The matriarchs of two very different families — one of wealth and privilege bound by blood, the other a found family of orphans and outcasts bound by love and necessity — find their fates linked by two crimes, an awful secret, a star-crossed love, and a piece of land with silver underneath.
