After kicking off the month with a strong push of fresh content, Netflix is slowing things down a bit as it heads into the weekend. Whereas previous weekends have seen dozens of new titles made available for bingeing, this weekend will only see the addition of four new titles, only one of which is a Netflix original.

Of course, the slim pickings of new additions joining dozens of others made over recent weeks and months, as well as the streaming giant's ongoing slate of holiday programming, meaning that subscribers still have plenty of options to add to their library.

Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month. Click here to see all of the holiday titles set to be added this month.

Notable Upcoming Addition: ‘You: Season 2’

Taking away a bit of the charm from the holiday season, everyone's favorite stalker, Joe Goldberg, or Will as he now goes by, returns to the streamer with You Season 2 later this month.

Debuting exactly one year after the series made its move from Lifetime to Netflix, on Dec. 26, Season 2 will follow Joe to Los Angeles where he meets Love Quinn, an aspiring chef who conveniently isn't into social media, unlike the former apple of Joe's unsavory eye.

Along with Penn Badgely returning in the starring role, the sophomore run will also star The Haunting of Hill House's Victoria Pedretti, James Scully, Jenna Ortega, Adwin Brown and Carmela Zumbado.
