Upstream: What’s new on Netflix Canada, CraveTV in December

-

Netflix’s award-winning Royal Family drama The Crown is back for a second season on Dec. 8.

The best TV drama Golden Globe winner stars Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth, who was seen in the first season marrying future-prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The second season covers the political chaos of the post-Second World War era and the downfall of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.

Also on Dec. 8, CraveTV launches the hit HBO miniseries Big Little Lies, which won eight Emmys in September, including best limited series and a best director award for Canadian Jean-Marc Vallée. The story follows the lives of a number of quarrellin­g parents in the affluent seaside town of Monterey, Calif. The ensemble cast includes Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Alexander Skarsgård (all three won Emmys for their roles), Reese Witherspoo­n, Shailene Woodley, Adam Scott, Zoë Kravitz and Canadian James Tupper.
