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 HBO Max. So much for those "Only in Theaters" posters. After seeing its release date pushed back three times during the pandemic, the sequel to the 2017 hit Wonder Woman will no longer rely on theaters in the United States. Instead, Warner Bros. will use its $200 million film as a tax write-off to juice subscriptions to its new-ish HBO Max streaming service. (Already a subscriber? Consider it a Christmas present.) Director Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot and Chris Pine return from the previous film—easily the best entry in the DC Extended Universe—but action this time will be set many decades later in the heart of the Cold War. New stars include Kristen Wiig (as Dr. Minerva/Cheetah) and Pedro Pascal (as Maxwell Lord). Didn't see the prior film? Not a problem: 1984 is intended to work as a stand-alone feature.
