It’s officially time to get into the Christmas spirit now that December is here. And there’s no better way to do it than cosying up on the sofa with a cup of something warm and watching festive entertainment on television. Netflix, as ever, has you sorted. The streaming service has a huge list of Christmas content at your disposal, most of which are hidden away within its exhaustive library of films and TV shows.

Elliot Page will continue to play the role of Vanya Hargreeves in “The Umbrella Academy,” the Netflix series about a family of superheroes that’s become one of the streaming service’s biggest hits. Vanya is a cisgender woman whose superpower involves unleashing force through the use of sound. There are no plans to change the character’s gender, insiders told Variety.

When Warner Bros. announced in mid-November that Wonder Woman 1984 will be available on HBO Max the same day it premieres in select theaters, I groaned. Not because of the decision to bring the movie right to the living room — that’s the right call — but I knew that, at the time, all content on HBO Max still topped out at 1080p. Resolution is one area where the service badly trails its competitors.

Netflix should add a disclaimer to The Crown making clear to its 195M subscribers that the royal drama is partly a work of fiction, according to the UK government. Culture secretary Oliver Dowden has piled pressure on the streamer to address historic fabrications in its flagship series, which is penned by Peter Morgan and produced by Left Bank Pictures.

"Chappelle's Show" is no longer on Netflix, and Dave Chappelle is happy about it. The comedian on Tuesday opened up in a video posted to Instagram about the streaming service's move, which he says came at his request.

Amazon Studios has confirmed that it has acquired worldwide rights to keenly anticipated sequel “Coming 2 America” from Paramount Pictures, and has set a March 5, 2021 date to launch on Amazon Prime Video.

The $2 billion streaming platform imploded less than six months after launch.

The young marketing exec. will strive to win over her coworkers and learn a word or two in French when the Parisian romcom returns for a second season.

Netflix on Thursday raised the prices of its standard and premium plans to $13.99 and $17.99 per month, respectively. Prior to Thursday, those plans were priced at $12.99 and $15.99, respectively. Current Netflix customers will see the updated prices on their bill over the next two months, Netflix told CNBC. Customers will get a warning 30 days prior to the change.

Another eventful and/or traumatic trip through time awaits The Umbrella Academy. Netflix announced Tuesday that its comic book adaptation has been renewed for Season 3. Just like the two seasons before it, The Umbrella Academy‘s third go-round will span 10 hour-long episodes. Production is slated to begin in February in Toronto.

Almost six months after HBO Max’s launch, the WarnerMedia streaming service will finally be landing on Amazon Fire TV and Fire tablets. The HBO Max app for Amazon’s devices will be available Tuesday, Nov. 17. The launch will bring WarnerMedia’s flagship direct-to-consumer product to Amazon’s estimated 40 million-plus active Fire TV users as well as the company’s Fire tablet customers.

Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings is still confident that 2021 will see more Netflix originals released than this year, but he is acknowledging that with the pandemic affecting production, especially in the United States, it won’t be as many as previously predicted.

“Watchmen” took home more Emmys than any other show of 2020, with HBO scoring the most wins of any network or streaming service. “Watchmen” picked up 11 Emmys in total, including wins on Sunday night for best limited series and best actress in a limited series for series star Regina King. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II also won for best supporting actor in a drama for his work on the show. The show’s 11 wins helped push HBO to 30 wins total, including 19 wins during the Creative Arts Emmys over the course of last week.

It's hard to imagine now, but when the US-version of The Office first premiered on NBC in 2005, the show was panned by both critics and audiences. People thought it was unoriginal, unfunny, and a bad clone of the UK version. But NBC made the call to renew the show anyway. It seemed to be the right one, because from season two onward, The Office US was winning plaudits everywhere, which lasted nine glorious seasons.

Dark Crystal, Altered Carbon, and more. It's either one and done or two and shoo.

Streaming pioneer Roku has big plans for expanding advertising on its platform of 43 million users. 

My biggest complaint about Disney Plus for the longest time was that it didn’t seem to understand how people (read: me) want to watch movies. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a perfect example. When Disney Plus launched, the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies weren’t exactly organized. There were rows for featured titles, movies, and TV shows, but everything was kind of strewn together. Almost every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie you wanted was here — you just had to spend a minute finding it. Now, however, it looks like Disney has changed around the Marvel section a tad to make it, well, make sense.

Hillary Clinton was ready to bare her soul, or so Hulu subscribers were told in March. After missing her shot at the presidency, Clinton would, at last, let her guard down. A four-part documentary promised to reveal the true Clinton, anchored by two thousand hours of fly-on-the-wall footage from her 2016 campaign and thirty-five hours of interviews with director Nanette Burstein. “Nothing was off-limits,” Clinton said while promoting the series. Critics marveled at her “remarkable frankness” and “surprisingly candid new public persona.”

The Walt Disney Company has made no secret of the fact that it’s betting its future on streaming TV. Hell, it just doubled down on it with a major reorganization of its business. But after a pandemic-induced bump in streaming-TV viewing peaked earlier this year, some of the arrows for Disney’s flagship streaming service are now pointing in the wrong direction, according to a new report from analyst firm MoffettNathanson.

Netflix is not renewing science fiction drama series “Away” for a second season, Variety has confirmed. The cancellation comes just six weeks after the show’s first season was released on Sept. 4. “Away” stars Hilary Swank as astronaut Emma Green, who leads the first crewed expedition to Mars aboard the spaceship “Atlas,” called the Mars Joint Initiative. Green leads an international crew with members from China, Russia, India and the U.K who are all experts in the field.
