Some pretty amazing original films are coming to Netflix in December 2020, and there’s no shortage of star power on display. Featuring the final film performance of the late Chadwick Boseman, and a commanding Viola Davis in the lead its ensemble, the feature adaptation of August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is ready to wow the crowd after a limited engagement in theaters. Also circling the ranks of critical and potential awards prestige is director David Fincher’s Mank, which chronicles the making of Citizen Kane from the eyes of one of its creators, screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman.) Though should you be looking for a fresh blockbuster, George Clooney has returned to the director’s chair with his new movie, The Midnight Sky, which sees him also playing a scientist trying to prevent a group of returning astronauts from coming home to a post-apocalyptic Earth.

Netflix’s TV Highlights For December 2020

Chronicling the life of late singer Selena Quintanilla, Selena: The Series digs deeper into the legacy of the tragically murdered Tejano singer, and the music she left behind. Balancing the scales of mood and tone are some holiday offerings that should make the season bright.

So if you want to mix your dramatic viewing habits with a dose of cheer, or if you want to experience both in their own time, Netflix has you covered as always.

2020 is almost over, and all eyes will be trained on 2021 in the weeks to come. So we’ll see you again, around this time next month, to take a peek at the January 2021 lineup headed to Netflix.
