The holiday spirit lives on Netflix. Here's what coming

SALT LAKE CITY — The holiday season arrived with a bang on Netflix with the premiere of Volume 1 of "Stranger Things 5," but there's even more to enjoy in December.

The popular film series "Knives Out" continues with "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery," releasing on Dec. 12, while journalism nerds get an exclusive look at one of the most famous publications in the nation with the new documentary "The New Yorker at 100," releasing on Dec. 5.
