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 11 on Netflix. Ryan Murphy's first feature directorial effort in a decade (that last one was 2010's Eat Pray Love) is an adaptation of the Broadway musical about a pair of New York theater stars who attempt to rebound from a recent flop by attempting to help a lesbian high school couple overturn their school's prom ban. The strong cast is led by Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden, Andrew Rannells, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kerry Washington. Expect an "old-fashioned" Hollywood musical rather than Murphy's typically more modern approach, and—just for the Oscar voters—one new song not present in the stage version. In fact, that new song involves something never before attempted on stage or screen: a Meryl Streep rap.
