The New Year is on the horizon, and if you've been clamoring for something new on Netflix worth watching after the quiet Christmas break, then you're in luck as the streamer's output is picking up once again.
Every week I round up the best new shows, movies and specials coming to Netflix to bring you a curated list of the top picks. This week I'm looking at new Originals coming between Saturday, December 28 and Friday, January 3.
There are a lot more options than last week but it's weighted heavily towards non-fiction programming. So I've got a music documentary, a dark lifestyle doc movie and two reality shows. But for those of you who want something more fictional, there are still a series and two movies for you.
So let's find you something to watch on Netflix this week.
Avicii - I'm Tim
- Music doc lands on Tuesday, December 31 alongside concert show
First up, we have a documentary about Tim Bergling. You might know Bergling better by his stage name Avicii, as the popular Swedish DJ and producer who passed away in 2018.
Avicii - I'm Tim is a feature documentary about how Bergling began his musical career, and it follows him right to the end as it charts his ups and downs.
You can watch Avicii - I'm Tim on Netflix from Tuesday, December 31. It lands alongside Avicii - My Last Show, a concert movie of Bergling's final performance.

Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever
- Documentary movie arrives on Wednesday, January 1
Who doesn't want to grapple with their mortality on the first day of a new year?
Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever is about Bryan Johnson, a man who's spent his entire life engaging in wellness techniques and practices to try and stay young. It'll also look at whether this is improving his quality of life, or affecting poeple around him.
It seems to be the rare Netflix documentary that isn't just a puff piece on its subject, and it was directed by the same person as the fantastic Fyre doc from a few years ago. You can watch it on Netflix from Wednesday, January 1.
