With December just around the corner, most of us are settling into hibernation mode just nicely. Luckily, we’ve been treated to plenty of brilliant new films during November’s lockdown. 

Netflix has kick-started the festivities with The Princess Switch 2 and Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square. Psychological thriller fans are looking forward to Johnny Flynn’s Cordelia hitting Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video at the end of the month. And film fans have been catching up with their favourite autumnal films on various streaming platforms.

So, what have we got to look forward to next month? Now TV has just shared its list of films, and it features five brilliant female-led productions. Here’s what we’ve got to look forward to…

Little Women

Greta Gerwig helms this latest adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, Little Women. The beloved story follows the March sisters – Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth – navigate their paths from childhood to womanhood in 19th century America. The incredible cast includes Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet and Meryl Streep.

Emma

Anya Taylor-Joy plays the titular role in this stylish adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, Emma.

During the course of all her meddling, could she be missing an opportunity for herself to find love?

Misbehaviour

British comedy-drama Misbehaviour focuses on the Miss World pageant of 1970, which made history when the Women’s Liberation Movement disrupted the live TV broadcast.

As she prepares to execute another inmate, Anthony Woods, Bernadine is forced to tackle her demons in the face of their unique connection. 

Clemency will be available to watch from 23 December on Now TV.
