All the stars are coming to Netflix this December. Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren take centre stage in Goodbye June (released on Christmas Eve), George Clooney and Adam Sandler join forces in Jay Kelly and Rowan Atkinson returns to Trevor Bingley’s madcap world in slapstick sequel Man Vs Baby.

Elsewhere, Daniel Craig is back as detective Benoit Blanc in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and Lily Collins returns in Emily In Paris, while Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson are warring matriarchs in Western drama The Abandons. For festive fare, take a trip to Sesame Street in Elmo & Mark Rober’s Merry Christmas or unwind at a luxury ski resort in holiday romcom My Secret Santa.

There’s also the intriguing Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua boxing match and the explosive documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, plus Ricky Gervais: Mortality, the latest stand-up special from the creator of After Life. That should be enough sofa-based entertainment to take you through to the new year.
