Holidate
It’s never too early for the trashy holiday rom-coms to begin. Starring Emma Roberts and Australian actor Luke Bracy, Holidate follows two singles who agree to be each other’s platonic date for the holiday season. In classic rom-com style, it seems that real feelings get caught up in the mix and the rest of the film is navigating these emotions. Coming 28 October.

Social Distance
The first of what we assume will be many, Social Distance is a series that follows the funny, sad, dark and happy ways that people have learnt to stay connected with those around them while staying apart. Coming 15 October.

The line-up looks pretty awesome, so start clearing those schedules and get those Netflix parties happening.
