Stranger Things
The much-anticipated fifth season of 'Stranger Things' dropped on November 26, with its first volume. The second volume will be available for streaming on December 25, and the finale will be released on New Year's Eve on Netflix.

The Abandons
This upcoming Netflix drama about the Old West of 1854 follows two staunch matriarchs in the forms of Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson. While Headey plays an independent and devout Irish widow whose life revolves around her adoptive family of outsiders, Anderson appears on the show as the powerful leader of the Van Ness family, resolute in consolidating their mining claim. The resultant conflict and the strategic warfare between these two forces form the crux of the show. 'The Abandons' drops on Netflix on December 4.
