Everything Coming to Netflix This Week (December 16th)

As Christmas draws near and 2024 winds down, things are Netflix are only ramping up. The streamer has big plans for the couple of days around Christmas, with a new Nate Bargatze special, two NFL games, and the second season of Squid Game all arriving within three days of one another. That’s a massive three-day slate and many subscribers have been looking forward to it. But it’s important not to overlook the week before Christmas, as it will also bring some pretty substantial releases to Netflix.

This week is actually a fairly big one for Netflix, as it marks the return of one of the streamer’s most popular (and longest running) original shows: Virgin River. The hit romance comes back with new episodes on December 19th, releasing alongside the new season of The Dragon Prince.

Take a look at this week’s full slate of new Netflix additions!
