If you're looking for a comprehensive list of what's streaming on Netflix in December 2025 then you're in the right place! On this page you'll find a list of all the shows and movies that are arriving in December, as well as our selection of some of the must watch titles.
Netflix is one of the biggest and best streaming services there is. It has a huge range of TV shows, movies, documentaries, comedy specials, and sports events – and with the end of the year approaching there's some real big hitters. This month you can look forward to a new Knives Out mystery, the return of Emily in Paris, the final ever episodes of Stranger Things, and much more besides.
Pick of the month for December 2025
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Daniel Craig's charismatic super sleuth Benoit Blanc returns for a third Knives Out mystery from director Rian Johnson. Wake Up Dead Man (the title comes from a U2 song) finds Blanc trying to solve a mysterious murder linked to Catholic priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O'Connor).
The casting is, as ever with these films, immaculate. Joining Craig will be Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, and many more famous faces. Johnson's plotting remains water-tight, too, the central mystery as devious and satisfying as in the original Knives Out film. Both Johnson and Craig seem perfectly happy to keep making these movies. As long as they stay this good, we'll keep showing up for them.
Emily in Paris season 5
The hit comedy returns for a fifth run. This time around Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) will find herself divided between Paris and Rome following her romance with handsome Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) as Agence Grateau opens an Italian office. That doesn't mean she's leaving France behind entirely, however, or her occasional love interest Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), who has finally realized that Emily is the woman for him. Is he too late to win her back?
Emily in Paris is one of Netflix's biggest shows, with season 4 hitting the number one spot on the Netflix Global Top 10 and notching up an impressive 19.9 million views in its first four days. Season 5 sounds like it will be bigger, better, and more romantic than ever before.
Stranger Things season 5: The Finale
Yes, we included this last month too, but the final season of Stranger Things is a huge moment for what has become one of the biggest TV sensations of the 21st century so far. Stranger Things season 5 will bring to a close the story of Eleven, Will, Mike, Hopper, and the rest of the gang as they take on the evil Vecna one final time. Will they be able to stop him once and for all and save not only Hawkins, but the rest of the world?
The Duffer Brothers have promised that season 5 will bring the story full circle, tying in neatly with the events of the first season. Can they pull it off and deliver a fully satisfying conclusion? You can find out for yourself when the new season's second batch of episodes drops on Christmas Day (because what could be more festive than supernatural horror?) and then with the grand finale on December 31.
