No other streaming service releases as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare even a single week passes without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep track of them all. We try to cover each of the new releases on Netflix weekly, but today, we’re also going to drill down on the returning shows.
As busy of a week as this is for Netflix releases, there are only a couple of shows returning. First up is the third season of the reality series The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, which does a pretty good job of explaining itself in the title. The first part of the final season of the anime Beastars is also dropping on the streaming service this week.
Returning Netflix shows (12/1 – 12/7)
The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On: Season 3 (Dec. 4)

BEASTARS: Final Season: Part 1 (Dec. 5)
Licensed by Netflix, Beastars is an anime based on a manga of the same name about a society full of walking, talking animals. There is a cultural divide between herbivores and carnivores, as eating meat is illegal. The series explores themes of prejudice, societal expectations, and fitting in over the course of its three seasons.
“Following the confrontation with Riz, Legoshi decides to leave school and begins living alone in Beast Apartments,” reads the synopsis for season 3. “Meanwhile, Louis, who has declined the Young BEASTARS and graduated from the academy, decides to finally face his father, Ogma. Haru, who is enjoying her campus life, deals with an endless series of troubles. Around this time, current BEASTAR Yahya pursues Melon, a violent criminal who seeks pleasure in murdering beasts. The fates of Legoshi and Melon, which never should have crossed paths, are intertwined by a secret held closely by Legoshi’s family.”
