Christmas is nearly here, but Santa isn’t the only one delivering gifts. This Christmas weekend, Netflix is delivering a round of new titles to its content catalogue , with four new Netflix original films and series premiering. This weekend’s list of new titles join others that made their way to the streamer throughout the week, including Trevor Noah: Where Was I and Taming of the Shrewd .
Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan.
