In the final week before Christmas, there are 44 new additions to be enjoyed in the UK library. Hopefully, everyone will be able to kick back and relax this Christmas after a very arduous year. Here’s what’s new on Netflix UK this week, and the top 10s for December 18th, 2020.

First of all, here are the past week’s top highlights on Netflix UK:


Bumblebee (2018)

Director: Travis Knight
Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi | Runtime: 114 Minutes
Cast: Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Cena, Jason Drucker, Pamela Adlon

There’s been a total of six Transformers, but Bumblebee was the first to not be directed by the king of explosions, Michael Bay. While Bumblebee is what you’d expect from a Transformers movie, the fresh take on the direction was exactly what the franchise needed to help revitalize it.

Cybertron has been ravaged by the civil war between the Autobots and Decepticon faction. To save the future of Cybertron, Optimus Prime sends Bumblebee to Planet Earth. Upon crash landing, Bumblebee soon befriends Charlie Watson, who helps the Autobot adjust to life on Earth.


Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (2020) N

Director: George C. Wolfe
Genre: Drama, Music | Runtime: 94 Minutes
Cast: Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman, Colman Domingo, Glynn Turman, Michael Potts

The adaptation of August Wilson’s play will be the last movie of the late Chadwick Boseman’s career. With the feature also starring Academy Award-winning actress Viola Davis, we could see some potential oscar nominations in the near future.

Tensions rise between Ma Rainey “Mother of the Blues” and her talented trumpeter Levee while recording some of her greatest hits. While Ma Rainey demands things are done her way, Levee believes his talent and ideas could change the course of the blues forever.


The Legend of Korra (4 Seasons)

Seasons: 4 | Episodes: 52
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure | Runtime: 23 Minutes
Cast: Janet Varney, P.J. Byrne, David Faustino, Jeff Bennett, J.K. Simmons

The sequel to the smash-hit animated series The Last Airbender, Nickolodean’s follow up series was a smash hit with fans. Now, old fans can relive the magic of the series, while new fans can experience the series for the first time.

When evil forces from the physical and spiritual worlds threaten the Republic City, it’s up to Korra, the new Avatar to keep everyone safe.
