Netflix, Hulu and Amazon: What's new in December 2018
Just in time for the holidays, Netflix and Amazon are offering new seasons of some of their most popular original series, as well as premieres of new ones.
On Dec. 5, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," which recently picked up the Emmy for best comedy series, returns to Amazon for season two, and the streaming service will roll out two new shows, "LOL: Last One Laughing," and "Vanity Fair," in the weeks that follow. Additionally, "Life Itself," an Amazon film that hit theaters in September, will find its way to subscribers on Dec. 21.
Meanwhile, a whopping 65 Netflix originals will debut this month, including Jennifer Aniston's new pageant film, "Dumplin'" and part six of "The Ranch" on Dec. 6, season four of "Fuller House" on Dec. 14, and season two of "Alexa & Katie" on Dec. 26. Other noteworthy premiere dates include "Springsteen on Broadway" on Dec. 16 and Ellen DeGeneres' new comedy special, “Ellen DeGeneres: Relatable," two days later.
For those looking for beloved films of yesteryear, look no further than Hulu, which will be pushing out "Driving Miss Daisy," "Pulp Fiction," and "Rain Man," among others, beginning Dec. 1.
