- Netflix is adding 21 new shows, movies, and specials on the week of November 22nd.
- Original movies and shows joining the Netflix library this week include The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two, Great Pretender season 2, and Hillbilly Elegy.
- If you’re looking to get into the Christmas spirit a month early, the Dolly Parton Christmas special with 14 original songs from Dolly herself should do the trick.
This has been a season full of hit-or-miss weeks for Netflix, but there is a bunch of interesting content dropping on the streaming service this coming week. The two I am most looking forward to are the second season of Great Pretender — a stylish anime about a group of con men and women — and The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two.
