This chapter sees Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) return to solve a new murder, except this time tech mogul Miles Bron (Edward Norton) has invited everyone to his own murder mystery — as a joke. We won’t spoil how things go wrong next, but safe to say: Mr. Blanc has a new puzzle (or two) to solve. Before that, Emily in Paris season 3 arrives, and it finds the titular protagonist trying to do two jobs at once. In very Fred Flintstone-like move, Emily’s still working at Savoir for Madeline, and letting Sylvie think she’s left that outlet for her new firm. Then, on Christmas Day, Netflix’s latest Witcher offering — The Witcher: Blood Origin — drops. It’s the story of how we got the first Witcher ever, and features Michelle Yeoh as a sword-wielding badass. So, let’s get down to a day-by-day breakdown of what’s new on Netflix this week!
