The nights are drawing in and that means we need sofa-based entertainment to keep us cosy. Fortunately, one of Netflix’s biggest shows is back this month after a painful three-year wait for its monumental conclusion: yes we’re talking about the fifth and final season of Stranger Things.

For more thrills there’s limited series The Beast In Me and the return of Squid Game: The Challenge, while for lighter fare you can get to know the man behind the myth in Being Eddie or animated series The Bad Guys: Breaking In.

If you’d prefer to snuggle up with a movie (or three!) then there are some brilliant new titles to binge, including family delight In Your Dreams, ensemble drama Train Dreams, terrifying tale Frankenstein and festive romcoms A Merry Little Ex-Mas and Jingle Bell Heist (it is NOT too soon).

If you have our Virgin TV 360 box, our V6 box (powered by TiVo®) or Stream from Virgin Media, you can watch Netflix through your telly with our brilliant app. No need to huddle over that laptop! Netflix is included in a range of our TV bundles and is available to add to those that don’t include it.
