Although Disney
cancelled it even after it was shot and produced because they decided
to take some new course in their programming, whatever that may be, epic

In United States it found its new home over at AMC but they are yet to announced the launch date there. Back in June it already started on SVT Play in Sweden and on France TV two months later. It will also stream on Stan in Australia.

We are looking into two festive films that will stream on Netflix these holidays, beginning with MEET ME NEXT CHRISTMAS a new romantic comedy movie with Christina Milian. The new movie, her third romantic film for the streamer, will arrive November 6th. In pursuit of a fairytale romance with the man of her dreams, Layla must race through New York City to get her hands on the hottest ticket in town: the sold-out Pentatonix Christmas Eve Concert. The film also stars Devale Ellis and Kofi Siriboe and Kalen Allen with the appearance of the Pentatonix as well. It is interesting that the film was shot long time ago (in spring last year), not sure why Netflix waited for so long to release it.
THE MERRY GENTLEMEN
Meanwhile,
if you prefer sinfully hot hunks as your holiday treats, there will be plenty of those in THE MERRY
GENTLEMEN which arrives to Netflix November 20th with Britt Robertson
and Chad Michael Murray in the lead roles. To save her parents'
small-town performing venue, a former big-city dancer decides to stage
an all-male, Christmas-themed revue. Chad Michael Murray plays one of
the dancers in the film that also has Beth Broderick, Michael Gross,
Maxwell Caulfield, Hector David Jr., Colt Prattes and Marc Anthony
Samuel in the cast. The story of a steamy musical revue that just might
save Christmas was directed by Peter Sullivan (Secret Obsession) and
written by Marla Sokoloff .
That Christmas will stream in December on Netflix
THAT CHRISTMAS ANIMATION
For the kids there will also be an animated adventure movie THAT CHRISTMAS which arrives December 4th with Brian Cox lending his voice. In this comedy, a blizzard hits a seaside town, setting off entwined tales of family, friends, love and loneliness — and Santa making a big mistake. Richard Curtis directs based on his own trilogy of Christmas books for children.

seemingly unremarkable and overlooked middle sister in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The half hour series will be written by Sarah Quintrell.
THE SERIES
takes as its premise that, when it comes to the Bennet
sisters, while women dream of being Lizzy, in reality most of them are
more like Mary.
Unlike her sisters, Mary isn’t your typical period drama heroine. She is
awkward, anxious, preachy, full of facts, a terrible singer… overlooked
by her mother and seemingly destined to an empty dance card for the
rest of her life… until Mary takes matters into her own hands.
The series gives Mary Bennet the epic love story nobody predicted for
her, taking her from her family home in Meryton to the soirees of
Regency London and the peaks and vales of the Lake District - all in
search of independence, romance and, most elusive of all, self-love and
acceptance.
