Netflix is ending the year with a bang, bringing some of the most anticipated shows to its streaming platform. Whether you are looking for sci-fi, drama, anime, or horror, the streaming platform has something for you this month.
The top pick of the month is Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire, a space opera directed by Zack Snyder. The film is based on Snyder’s original pitch for a Star Wars spin-off that was rejected by Disney. It follows a young woman who is chosen by a mysterious force to lead a rebellion against a tyrannical regime that controls the galaxy. The film is expected to be the first in a trilogy that will expand the Rebel Moon universe.
Netflix also brings the final season of The Crown, the live action version of Yu Yu Hakusho, and the second season of Sweet Home this month.
