‘Captain America: Civil War,’ ‘Fuller House’ Season 2, And More Are Coming To Netflix In December 2016


The viral story about the teenager who mistakenly received a text message about another family’s Thanksgiving dinner, but was invited anyways, has yet to reach its beautiful conclusion. But here we are, discussing the latest batch of new film and television titles that will be available to stream this December on Netflix. Not that we’re complaining, especially since Christmas Day will present cord-cutters with perhaps the greatest gift of all — unlimited access to Captain America: Civil War, the first of many promised Marvel Studios titles to feature on the streaming platform. It’s by far one of the most prominent additions to Netflix’s library during the final 31 days of 2016, but considering the array of favored classics and new originals accompanying Steve Rogers, it’s not the only one.

Captain America: Civil War (12/25)

Netflix’s original Marvel series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and several animated movies and shows have long found a comfortable home on the streaming service. The Marvel Studios films that helped launched the comic book brand’s new empire, however, have yet to grace its library. All of this changes on Sunday, December 25 when families across America will find themselves in a predicament. That’s when Captain America: Civil War will be available to stream. Other Marvel Studios and Disney films are sure to follow, according to the deal made public in September, but it seems fans will have to subsist on repeat viewings of Civil War for the time being.

Fuller House Season 2 (12/9)

Whether you enjoyed Fuller House or not, Netflix quickly renewed the insanely successful Full House revival for a second season. They just as quickly produced the new batch of episodes, as they’ll be hitting the streaming service on Friday, December 9 — not even a full 10 months after the first season premiered in February. Everyone in the new series’ core cast is back, and the members of the original who participated in season one are set to reprise their roles for a big Thanksgiving episode. (This despite its being made available to watch weeks after everyone has recovered from their turkey comas.)

National Lampoon’s Animal House (12/1)

Of course, it wouldn’t be an early Christmas present from Netflix without a few significant classic offerings to boot. Bruce Lee’s Way of the Dragon and family favorite Honey, I Shrunk the Kids are chief among such additions, but National Lampoon’s Animal House is in a different league. Several moments and jokes don’t translate as well to modern society’s (and, to an extent, comedy’s) politically correct sensibilities, but director John Landis’ 1978 comedy about the ins, outs and in-betweens of college Greek life has generally stood the test of time.
