The time has come: we need to say goodbye to the Chalmers-Davis family in the fifth and final season of Bump.

But the Stan Original series will be going out with a bang, with heartwarming episodes setting us up for the ultimate farewell. 

Season 5 will give viewers a glimpse into the future lives of all their favourite characters.

Squid Game Season 2: Netflix.

Squid Game was the instant hit that captivated millions of viewers in September 2021. After several years of impatiently waiting, the second game is about to begin.

Season 2 raises the stakes, with Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456. With a hardened demeanour and the scars of past games, Gi-hun is on a desperate mission to expose the deadly truth of the competition. Yet, his warnings go unheeded, and tensions rise as fellow players question his intentions.

The teaser also shows the return of Lee Byung-hun as the mysterious Front Man, whose true motivations remain cloaked in secrecy, while Wi Ha-jun's Hwang Jun-ho is back, driving the narrative forward as the relentless detective on a mission of his own.

Culpa Tuya (Your Fault): Prime Video.

YA girlies, rise up! The latest romance for teens (and adults) is Culpa Tuya, which translates to Your Fault.

The Spanish romance is a follow up to Culpa Mía (My Fault), and traces the relationship of Noah (Nicole Wallace) and Nick (Gabriel Guevara). If you haven't seen the first film, I highly recommend a double feature this weekend!

Despite their parents' attempts to separate them, Noah and Nick's romance is going strong. But as his career heats up and she begins her college life, their new experiences will shake the foundations of their relationship.

A Real Pain: In Cinemas.

Aside from a few special preview screenings, A Real Pain has just premiered in cinemas across Australia following a strong debut at The Sundance Film Festival. 

Emma Stone serves as one of the key producers of the film, which stars her ex-boyfriend Kieran Culkin and her longtime pal Jesse Eisenberg, who also wrote and directed it. 

A Real Pain follows mismatched cousins David (Eisenberg) and Benji (Culkin), who reunite for a tour through Poland to honour their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

Gavin & Stacey: The Finale: Binge.

It's everyone's favourite British comedy, and now Gavin & Stacey is finally getting the ultimate finale it deserves. And we're getting some much-needed closure. The Christmas Special will drop on Boxing Day here in Aus, picking up five years after we said goodbye.

James Corden, Matthew Horne, Ruth Jones and Joanna Page are all returning as the show's main stars, with the final episode promising to wrap things up for all of their storylines.

The BBC has teased what's to come in the episode, with the synopsis reading: "It's five years since we left Nessa down on one knee declaring her love for Smithy and asking him to marry her. And a lot has happened in those five years.

"In Barry, Bryn's packing the Picasso in readiness for a trip to Essex; Stacey and Gavin are looking for new ways to spice up their seventeen-year marriage and Gwen is behaving most strangely. Nessa's started a new business venture and Neil the Baby's about to begin an apprenticeship with his dad." Read more here.

Anora: In Cinemas.

Anora premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the Palme 'dOr award for Best Feature Film, and it's generating plenty of awards season buzz.

It's described as an 'audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation' on a modern day Cinderella story.

Rising actress Mikey Madison (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Scream) stars as Ani, a young sex-worker from Brooklyn. Her life takes a turn when she meets and impulsively marries the son of a Russian billionaire (played by Mark Eidelstein).

When his parents find out, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage.

The Road Trip: Paramount Plus.

A romantic comedy, adapted from a much-loved book by a fan-fave author? Sign me up! Beth O'Leary's novel has been transformed into a new series set for release on Boxing Day.

The rom-com follows Addie (Emma Appleton) as she heads to a wedding in Spain with her sister Deb (Isabella Laughland), but is forced to car-share with her ex, Dylan (Laurie Davidson) and his best friend Marcus (David Jonsson), as well as a total stranger (Angus Imrie).

Better Man: In Cinemas.

Like many of you, I have also been left wondering about Robbie Williams' biopic in which he is portrayed by a monkey. But wonder no more!

Better Man is in cinemas now, and tells the story of his meteoric rise to fame, his struggles and fall from grace, and, of course, his return to the spotlight.

Why is he being played by a monkey? Because Williams said he is a "cheeky monkey".

"What's more cheeky than a cheeky monkey?" he said to the Associated Press. "I've been a cheeky monkey all my life. There's no more cheekier monkey than the coke-snorting, sex-addict monkey that we find in the movie."

Watch the trailer for Nosferatu, coming out on January 1. Story continues below.

Sonic The Hedgehog 3: In Cinemas.

Lowkey… Sonic The Hedgehog boasts an impressive cast: Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Ben Schwartz and more star in this franchise.

And the third film has arrived just in time for the Christmas break, offering time away for kids and parents alike.

In the new movie, Sonic, Knuckles and Tails reunite to battle Shadow, a mysterious new enemy with powers unlike anything they've faced before. Welp! With their abilities outmatched in every way, they seek out an unlikely alliance to stop Shadow and protect the planet.

The NFL Christmas Games & Beyoncé's Halftime Show: Netflix.

In some exciting news for fans of incredible pop performances, Beyoncé took her talents to the half-time show at the 2024 NFL Christmas Gameday between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens.

It's kind of like a lite version of the Super Bowl, with two teams facing up in an important match at the tail end of the season. The big Halftime Show was highly anticipated, and did NOT disappoint. But don't worry, if you missed it Netflix has promised her performance will be returning to the streaming service as a 'standalone special' this weekend.
