New Year’s Eve on Netflix sees five shows join the streaming line-up…
First up, with trademark thrills, gripping suspense and secrets of past crimes beginning to unravel, Stay Close questions how much you really know someone. The eight episodes star Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt, Richard Armitage and Sarah Parish.
Four people each conceal dark secrets from those closest to them; Megan (Jumbo) a working mother of three, Ray (Armitage), a once-promising documentary photographer, Broome (Nesbitt) a detective unable to let go of a missing person’s cold case, and Lorraine (Parish), an old friend of Megan’s. As the past comes back to haunt them, threatening to ruin their lives and the lives of those around them, what will be their next move?
Also streaming from NYE is the Olivia Colman drama The Lost Daughter. Alone on a seaside vacation, Leda (Colman) becomes consumed with a young mother and daughter as she watches them on the beach.

An impulsive act shocks Leda into the strange and ominous world of her own mind, where she is forced to face the unconventional choices she made as a young mother and their consequences. Maggie Gyllenhaal makes her directorial debut from a script she adapted from the novel by Elena Ferrante.
