A trio of big Netflix releases await this week, and it feels like there's at least one big present for everyone to open. The biggest item of them all, we'd say is Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson's modern noir sequel.
This chapter sees Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) return to solve a new murder, except this time tech mogul Miles Bron (Edward Norton) has invited everyone to his own murder mystery — as a joke. We won't spoil how things go wrong next, but safe to say: Mr. Blanc has a new puzzle (or two) to solve.
Before that, Emily in Paris season 3 arrives, and it finds the titular protagonist trying to do two jobs at once. In very Fred Flintstone-like move, Emily's still working at Savoir for Madeline, and letting Sylvie think she's left that outlet for her new firm.
Then, on Christmas Day, Netflix's latest Witcher offering — The Witcher: Blood Origin — drops. It's the story of how we got the first Witcher ever, and features Michelle Yeoh as a sword-wielding badass.
So, let's get down to a day-by-day breakdown of what's new on Netflix this week!
