Watership Down: Limited Series *- *NETFLIX ORIGINAL

Before we mention anything else, we've got to feed the hype beast for a moment. Yes, you read correctly, Avengers: Infinity War is coming to Netflix on Christmas Day. While you'll probably be asking for your own personal copy for the holidays, know that even if it is in short supply, and someone promises you a copy in the post-holiday period, you'll still be able to get your fill of Marvel Studios-induced tears.

With that out of the way, it's a pretty spectacular month for original films, with Alfonso Cuaron's Roma finally coming to the streaming library. (Though if you're a cinematic purist, the film will start a limited theatrical run next week, so check your local listings.) Also on tap is the adaptation of the YA novel Dumplin,' as well as the Sandra Bullock starring sci-fi blockbuster Bird Box.

Last, but not least, if you were looking forward to Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle and thought you'd be waiting until 2019 to see the finished product, Netflix pulled a fast one and put it on this month's docket of joy.

Netflix loyalists are also going to be thrilled at the original series output coming in December, especially with the return of Fuller House marking the series' fourth season on the streaming platform. Also, the BBC / Netflix co-production of Watership Down will hit for U.S. audiences at some point in December, though no drop date has been scheduled as of yet. So you've got some time to mentally prepare for the hardships of those legendary bunnies.

Neo Yokio and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina fans will have something to look forward to, as both series have holiday specials coming out this month. Finally, if you're a viewer of Voltron: Legendary Defender, this month marks your big goodbye, as the series' eighth and final season takes its bow.

Netflix has had a fantastic 2018, and December looks to be the meteoric close we've all been expecting. Keep in mind though that all titles above are subject to change. So feel free to check back in, should you want to make sure that a particular title you've been anticipating hasn't disappeared.
