There’s less than three months left in 2020, a year many critics agree to be stuffed with an exhausting amount of plot twists, with a number of characters that are far too silly and comical for them to be taken seriously in the story; some even say the series should have ended long ago. But nevertheless, we started this season so now we have to end it; but we don’t have to do it alone, so here’s a list of some upcoming films and shows on Netflix to help you through the latest season of “Life On Earth.”

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Film
Release date: Dec. 18
Adapted from two-time Pulitzer Prize collector August Wilson’s play, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” celebrates the metamorphic weight of the blues and those artists who have and continue to refuse society’s prejudices and appraisals of their worth. “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” is directed by George C. Wolfe and adapted for the screen by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, and is the final film of the late Chadwick Boseman.
Heat and friction rise throughout an afternoon recording session in 1920s Chicago as a band of musicians await pioneering performer, the mythical “Mother of the Blues,” Ma Rainey (Viola Davis). Fashionably late, the bold and bright-spirited Ma clashes with her white manager and producer over control of her music.

The Prom
Film
Release date: Dec. 11
Barry Glickman (James Corden) and Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep) are New York City stage stars with a crisis afoot: their costly new Broadway show is a miserable failure that has swiftly nailed the coffins shut on their careers. Meanwhile, in a small-town Indiana high school, student Emma Nolan (Jo Ellen Pellman) is choking down a very different flavor of catastrophe: heedless of the support of the principal (Keegan-Michael Key), the head of the PTA (Kerry Washington) has forbade her from going to prom with her girlfriend, Alyssa (Ariana DeBose). When Dee Dee and Barry agree that Emma’s predicament is the perfect low-hanging fruit to help resurrect their public images, they set off with another duo of Angie (Nicole Kidman) and Trent (Andrew Rannells), another pair of misanthropic actors looking for some professional necromancy. But when their selfish celebrity Frankenstein project abruptly backfires, the quadruplet finds their lives utterly capsized as they rally to give Emma a night where she can finally revel in who she really is. Directed by Ryan Murphy, “The Prom” is the breathtaking heartfelt adaptation of Bob Martin, Chad Beguelin and Matthew Sklar’s award-winning Broadway musical.
