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 25 on Disney+. Originally slated to reach theaters in June (and then November), the newest Pixar original is now a Disney+ exclusive instead. The recipient of stellar notices when it debuted at the London Film Festival in October—making it the best-reviewed Pixar movie in five years—the latest from director Pete Docter (Inside Out, Up) is an ambitious, original story following a middle-school music teacher whose quest to perform at a top jazz club takes him on a journey through a fantastical land populated by unborn souls. Jamie Foxx leads a voice cast that also features Tina Fey and Angela Bassett, while music comes from The Late Show's Jon Batiste and the team of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. A new Pixar short, Burrow, also streams today on Disney+.
