If you miss Next Top Model styled reality TV, Supermodel Me: Revolution starring Thai supermodel Cindy Bishop on the judging panel drops on Netflix December 2. Filmed in Singapore, the show’s 12 modelling hopefuls come from 8 different Asian nations and compete to win pretty much the same prizes offered on Top Model: a modelling contract, magazine cover, and major brand deal. Same same, but different.

Bullet Train

Premieres on December 11 on Netflix

Brad Pitt stars in an action film that takes place almost solely inside a Japanese bullet train. Must we say anything else? If you missed the theatrical release of this film a few months back, you can catch it on Netflix this month. A comedy at its core, the film actually features an all-star cast that includes the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Joey King, Michael Shannon, and many more. The kicker: everyone’s an assassin.

Emily in Paris (Season 3)

Premieres on December 21 on Netflix

You’ve already seen two seasons of this hilariously offensive-to-Parisians Netflix series. There’s no backing out now. Emily’s journey in the City of Love is about to get messier with boy trouble and work trouble—we’ve all been there. It’s going to take more than cutting bangs to get her life on track. Luckily, Emily’s got BFF Mindy for support and comic relief.
