5 new Netflix shows releasing in December 2022

In recent times, Netflix has been perhaps the biggest platform for quality films and TV shows. With the approaching holidays and network TV shows getting set for their mid-season break, the massive network has been quite busy with a swarm of series heading to its shores.

Coming back to the topic of the season, November and December always see some great releases rounding off the years with good content. Holidays are also the time to binge-watch, making the market more inclined to the kind of content Netflix is ready to provide.

There are plenty of shows and films coming to Netflix this December 2022, including Smiley (season 1), Too Hot To Handle (season 4), The Elephant Whisperers (2022), CAT (season 1), Dragon Age: Absolution (season 1), Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022), Prisoners (2013), Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure (season 1), A Storm for Christmas (limited series), and Alice in Borderland (season 2), to name just a few.

With a lineup like this, it may soon become a question of what to watch and what not to. So, here are five of our favorite TV shows from the extensive catalog that will be available on Netflix next month.

5 best TV shows coming to Netflix in December 2022

1) Firefly Lane (season 2)- December 2

The adaptation of Firefly Lane is ready to conclude with its second season this December. The feel-good Netflix show stars Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl and The Scrubs' Sarah Chalke in the leading roles.

The synopsis for the show reads as:

"What could possibly have ended the tight-knit thirty year friendship of Tully and Kate, our “Firefly Lane Girls Forever”? We’ll learn the answer this season — but first — Kate grapples with the painful aftermath of Johnny’s ill-fated trip to Iraq, while Tully faces a lawsuit after walking away from her talk show, and must start her career over from the bottom."

It further reads:

"This leads her to search for answers about who she is and where she comes from — including a quest to find the father she never met, against the wishes of her secretive hippie mother, Cloud. In the ’80s, we see Kate and Johnny first fall in love, creating more than a little drama in the newsroom where they work, as Tully’s career rises and she spars (and flirts!) with cocky sportscaster Danny Diaz."
