Welcome to your first look at what’s coming to Netflix in November 2017 including all the new movies, TV series, documentaries and stand-up specials heading our way during the final month of 2017.

Expect it to be a bumper month on Netflix thanks to it being Christmas and we’ve already seen that Netflix is adding a few Christmas treats to the service. It’s also very Netflix Original heavy but that’s no bad thing as there’s truly some fantastic titles both new and returning heading our way.

December 2017 Highlights

New Movies

Netflix will be dropping arguably the trilogy of the most recognizable Christmas movies in the form of Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause. All three of the movies will be dropping on Netflix for December 12th.

The Disney contract will be bringing another Marvel movie in the form of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. The sequel to the wildly successful first movie starring Chris Pratt improves on its predecessor in almost every way and once again, is served up with a rocking soundtrack.

V for Vendetta will be returning to the service on December 1st after being removed in the summer and Will Smiths big budget Netflix Original movie, Bright, will be making its way onto Netflix towards the end of December.

New TV Series

Netflix Originals currently make up the majority of the highlights for December 2017. We’ll kick off with season 2 of The Crown. Netflix’s biggest budget show returns for Claire Foy’s final year reprising the role of the Queen before Olivia Colman takes the helm from next year onwards.

Two big fan-favourite comedies will be back in December 2017 with both The Ranch and Fuller House getting brand new episodes. We’ll also see the long-awaited return of Dreamworks Trollhunters by Guillermo del Toro.
