by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – November 25, 2020

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.

87 Wolfwalkers

Film debuts December 11 on Apple TV+. One of two excellent animated features streaming this month, Wolfwalkers looks likely to help Apple score one of its first Oscar nominations (though distributor GKIDS would share the honor), and it could even take home the trophy as 2020's best animated film. The completion of director Tom Moore's Irish folklore trilogy (following fellow Metacritic Must-Sees The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea), the impressively hand-drawn Wolfwalkers traces the journey of a young apprentice hunter who befriends a girl raised by wolves.
