What’s new on Netflix and what’s leaving in December 2023

December is the last month of the year to get movies out in time to make an Oscar push, and this year, Netflix‘s big contender is Maestro, a biopic of Leonard Bernstein starring Bradley Cooper, who also directed the film. It’s not the only big original film coming this month. Netflix also has Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire and the animated sequel, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.

There are also several Warner Bros. movies coming to Netflix in December, especially from the superhero catalog including titles like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Suicide Squad. Additionally, this year’s second biggest box office hit, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, is making its Netflix debut on December 3.

Fans are likely to be very happy this month, but you can see for yourself below in our roundup of everything new on Netflix in December 2023, as well as everything that’s leaving at the end of the month. Our picks for the month are in bold.

What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in December 2023
Scarlett Johansson in Asteroid City.

In Christmas lore, the good children of the world can expect presents under the Christmas tree, while bad children will get coal in their stockings. Looking at the films and TV shows coming in December to Amazon Prime Video, we can only conclude that Prime Video thinks that we've all been very bad this year because our Christmas present on December 25th is the Prime Video premiere of this year's biggest box office bomb, The Flash, to be followed two days later by another infamous bomb, Terminator: Genisys. That's not the most auspicious way to close out 2023.

It's not all bad news for Prime Video subscribers in December. Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is arriving this month, as is Reacher season 2. Sound of Freedom, one of this year's most controversial titles, is also coming to Prime Video on December 26. Keep reading for our complete roundup of everything new on Amazon Prime Video in December 2023. Our picks for the month are in bold.

What’s new on Peacock in December 2023
Tony Shalhoub in Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie.

Have you missed seeing Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk since his USA original series, Monk, ended in 2009? If so, then Peacock is going to make you very happy in December with a new original film, Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie. Hopefully that "last case" isn't as final as the title appears to indicate, because it would be fun if Psych wasn't the only ex-USA show to get recurring TV films on Peacock.

December is a relatively quiet month for Peacock with two other notable premieres: the streaming debut of The Exorcist: Believer, as well as the second season of Dr. Death. Beyond that, there are so many sporting events that you'd have to clone yourself many times over to watch them all.

A photograph of John Lennon.

Apple TV+ is one of our favorite streaming platforms for all things cinematic and episodic. Since its launch in 2019, we’ve watched the service grow from a streamer with only a few titles to its name, to one of the most prolific and recognized platforms available. Oh, and let’s not forget that the Apple TV+ original movie CODA took home the Oscar for Best Picture in 2022. 

As fans of Apple TV+, we do our very best to keep our readers interested in what new movies and shows are arriving on the streamer, which is why we’ve put together this roundup. Take a look at what’s in store for the year’s end, and what we can expect to see several months down the line on Apple TV+.
