It’s that time again for our monthly “New on Netflix Canada” series.

Read on to see what’s new, and what’s leaving, this month on Netflix Canada — and don’t forget to check out our “New on Netflix US” installment!

Another Netflix Original sees the first of four Adam Sandler/Netflix movies coming to the streaming service. The Ridiculous 6 stars Adam Sandler, Terry Crews, and Taylor Lautner in this ridiculous tale in which Tommy “White Knife” Stockburn goes on an adventure-filled journey across the Old West with his five brothers after his long-lost outlaw father returns.
Rounding out the Netflix Originals for December are a trio of live comedy specials which include I’m Brent Morin (December 1st), Trailer Park Boys: Drunk, High and Unemployed Live in Austin (December 9th), and Mike Epps: Don’t Take It Personal (December 18th). Also available on December 18th are two new TV series: F is For Family from comic Bill Burr in which you can follow the Murphy family back to the 1970s, a time when you could smack your kid, smoke inside and bring a gun to the airport, and Making a Murderer — the real-life thriller filmed over ten years which follows a DNA exoneree who, while exposing police corruption, becomes a suspect in a grisly new crime.
