What’s New on Max, Netflix, and Other Streamers in December: Subscription Updates

December is shaping up to be a bit of a slow month for streaming services, with the exception of Netflix, which is bringing some exciting content to the table. One highly anticipated release is the second season of “Squid Game,” the gritty South Korean thriller that took the world by storm. Showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk promises that this season will be even more brutal and intense than the first.

In addition to “Squid Game,” Netflix is stepping into the world of live sports with two NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day. They’ve also got some other interesting offerings this month, including a thrilling series called “Black Doves,” starring Keira Knightly, and a new season of “Queer Eye.” Not to mention a variety of holiday specials, standup comedy specials, and some intriguing new movies and docuseries.

By pausing or stopping some subscriptions and taking advantage of sales and discounts, you can enjoy all the best shows without breaking the bank. And if you’re in need of a little escapism during a hectic time of year, Netflix has plenty of options to help you get lost in a different world, from magical adventures to mysterious dramas.
