Grab a baguette, a bottle of French dressing, and some buttered snails, because it's almost time for Emily in Paris Season 3. The romantic, professional, and millennial adventures of Emily Cooper begin again on Dec. 21, so you should be able to start your Season 3 rewatch on Christmas Eve. If you can't wait until then to get your fill of young Americans out of their element, on Dec. 16 you can watch Noah Centineo star in the new spy action-comedy The Recruit, in which the To All the Boys heartthrob plays a young CIA agent who is thrown into the field. 

Also out later this month is the Knives Out sequel Glass Onion and The Witcher spin-off The Witcher: Blood Origin.

Scroll on for the full list of everything coming to and leaving Netflix in December.

The Best New Netflix Movies and Shows in December

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (Dec. 9)

It took Guillermo del Toro a decade to bring this passion project, a stop-motion adaptation of the timeless tale of the puppet who wants to be a real boy, to life. GDT's take is steeped in his signature allegorical style of dark fantasy, setting the story in Fascist 1930s Italy and making Pinocchio much less cute than the Disney version of popular imagination. It's the second Pinocchio movie to come out in a few months, and by all accounts vastly superior to the Disney+ one; it's heavily favored to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

Emily in Paris Season 3 (Dec. 21) 

Season 3 of the romantic dramedy everyone loves to complain about but watches anyway finds Emily (Lily Collins) continuing to have personal and professional misadventures while wearing elaborate outfits. Do we have an estimate for this show's hefty wardrobe budget? What other shows spend on visual effects, Emily in Paris spends on couture. [Trailer]

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Dec. 23) 

The first Knives Out was a box office smash, and the sequel got the widest (though still very brief) theatrical release for a Netflix movie ever, but make no mistake, this stylish sequel is a Netflix film. Daniel Craig returns as master detective Benoit Blanc, who's tasked with solving a murder mystery at a Greek villa that starts out as a game and turns real. The cast includes Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista. In his review for TV Guide, Jordan Hoffman gave it a 9 out of 10, an exceptionally high score for any movie, let alone a Netflix Original in 2022. [Trailer]

The Witcher: Blood Origin (Dec. 25) 

Fresh off the success of Everything Everywhere All At Once, Michelle Yeoh stars in this four-episode limited series spin-off of The Witcher. She plays the last member of a tribe of sword-elves who sets out on a quest to retrieve a stolen blade that's sacred to her people. It's an origin story of how the monster-slayers known as Witchers came to be. It could either be one for the diehard Witcher heads, or more accessible to non-nerds than that hardcore fantasy series. Watch it and see! [Trailer]

White Noise (Dec. 30) 

Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig star in director Noah Baumbach's adaptation of Don DeLillo's classic postmodern satirical novel. I don't usually do this, but I'm going to defer to Netflix's description for this one, because it's really good: "White Noise dramatizes a contemporary American family's attempts to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death, and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world." That's exactly what it's about! Reviews have been more mixed than you might expect for a film with this pedigree, but the book is one of my favorites, so I'll definitely be watching. [Trailer]
