A fresh slate of content is coming to the Netflix streaming library this week! Now half-way through the month, and with Christmas just around the corner, the streaming giant is continuing to treat subscribers to the gift of new titles, with Netflix set to rollout a total of 21 new additions between Monday, Dec 13 and Friday, Dec. 17. The new titles, all from Netflix’s December 2021 content lineup, include 12 originals.
This week’s lineup includes several hotly-anticipated titles, like a new addition to the Elite library. After launching Elite Shot Stories over the summer, the streamer is checking back in with the students of Las Encinas secondary school over holiday break with the first installment of three installments to the miniseries this week. Netflix subscribers will also be able to press play on the buzzed-about Selling Sunset spinoff Selling Tampa. Perhaps generating the most excitement, however, is the long-awaited second season of The Witcher, which is set to arrive in the streaming library on Friday and will help launch into Netflix’s mix of weekend additions.
