December Preview: 16 TV Shows & New Movies to Watch at Home
In the gallery above, our editors have selected the coming month's most promising TV shows (including limited series and specials) as well as movies available to watch at home through VOD and digital purchases, listed in order by premiere date. Many of these titles haven't been reviewed yet (and we haven't seen them), but they are the most intriguing new releases on paper, at least, arriving in December.
Film debuts December 23 on Netflix. Billed as Gravity meets The Revenant (it even shares a screenwriter, Mark L. Smith, with the latter), this George Clooney-directed adaptation of the novel Good Morning, Midnight centers on a dying scientist (Clooney) who must find a way to send a message to the crew of a long-term space mission and warn them not to return to Earth, which is in the midst of a global catastrophe. To do so, he must trek across the Arctic, which has become toxic. Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bichir, and Tiffany Boone also star.
