Netflix Adding Two Critically Acclaimed HBO series in December

 

Netflix US subscribers will soon be able to stream two highly praised limited series from HBO: Love & Death and The Staircase. Both shows arrive on December 1, 2025, offering a mix of true crime storytelling and compelling drama.

Love & Death

Love & Death is a gripping dramatization of a well-known criminal case in 1970s Texas. The series follows Candy Montgomery (Elizabeth Olsen), a housewife whose life takes unexpected turns. With strong performances and a carefully crafted story, the show earned critical acclaim and a Primetime Emmy nomination.

Created by David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies, The Lincoln Lawyer) and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, the series blends suspense, drama, and character-driven storytelling. Fans of true crime series will find this an engaging addition to Netflix’s lineup.



The Staircase

This series is a scripted adaptation of the true events previously explored in a documentary of the same name. It follows novelist Michael Peterson (Colin Firth) as he navigates the aftermath of a high-profile criminal investigation in his family.

Unlike the documentary, this dramatization explores the personal and legal challenges from multiple perspectives, offering insight into the complex story and the people involved. Fans of investigative dramas and courtroom stories are sure to enjoy this thoughtful production.

Availability

Both series are licensed for Netflix US and will remain accessible while continuing to stream on HBO Max. While specific removal dates are not confirmed, viewers will have plenty of time to enjoy these acclaimed dramas.

Mark your calendars: Love & Death and The Staircase premiere on Netflix US on December 1, 2025. These series are perfect for viewers who enjoy well-crafted true crime dramas and compelling storytelling.
