Santa is making another stop at Netflix well before Christmas, dropping off a present for lovers of holiday films that is promising to break the internet: A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, the sequel to the 2017 film that took social media by storm.
"A year after Amber helped Richard secure the crown, the two are set to tie the knot in a royal Christmas wedding - but their plans are jeopardized when Amber finds herself second-guessing whether or not she's cut out to be queen, and Richard is faced with a political crisis that threatens to tarnish not only the holiday season, but the future of the kingdom," a synopsis for the film reads.
A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding will be available for streaming beginning Friday, Nov. 30.
prevnextBaby
On Friday, Netflix will debut its second Italian original series, Baby.
Loosely based on a real-life story, the series centers on Chiara and Ludovica, two teen girls and promising students at one of Rome's most elite private high schools. In their search for identity and in an effort to rebel, they lead a scandalous double life by night in the underground world of prostitution.
The coming-of-age story is based on the 2014 discover of two high school girls from Rome's wealthy residential Parioli district who were selling sex to purchase designer clothes and electronics. The case led five arrests, including the mothers of both of the teenagers.
The series has already surrounded itself in controversy, with the National Center on Sexual Exploitation accusing it of glamorizing human trafficking.

Netflix is dipping its toes into the history of magic with British magician Drummond Money-Coutts.
Death by Magic, set to be added to the streaming library Friday, sees Coutts uncovering the stories of magicians who died performing the most dangerous stunts ever attempted. As Coutts travels the world to investigate their deaths and find answers as to what went wrong, he also shares his magic with those he meets along the way.
The series will also see Coutts paying homage to the craft by recreating the stunts where others have failed, including being buried alive under tons of wet concrete, playing a game of Russian roulette, and escaping from a collision with a speeding steam train.
