With the impending end of 2017 comes December, and with December comes a fresh batch of movies and television on Showtime. You’ll never guess what’s coming to the channel next month, and you’ll never have to, because we’ve compiled all that information right here.
Showtime is adding new episodes of a number of original series next month, including new episodes of flagship dramedy Shameless, followed by the first season finales of Frankie Shaw’s SMILF and Jay Pharoah’s White Famous. Six-part BBC series Ill Behaviour and rotating college football docuseries A Season With Navy Football will also air season finales in December.
As far as licensed films go, the pickings are somewhat slim, but the list is not without its highlights. Those include Oscar-winning drama Kramer Vs. Kramer, Nic Cage-starring actioner Con Air, harrowing World War II drama The Pianist, Steven Soderbergh’s directorial debut Sex, Lies, and Videotape, ‘80s coming-of-age film St. Elmo’s Fire and star-studded holiday comedy Office Christmas Party.
Not to be forgotten are Showtime’s documentaries, comedy specials and streaming collections. On the first of the month, Showtime debuts More Than Loud, a stand-up special from controversial comic Orny Adams. Later, on Dec. 15, we’re getting Rush Time Stands Still, a documentary chronicling the legendary band’s final tour that, in a touch I Love You, Man fans will love, is narrated by none other than Paul Rudd. And December’s streaming collections revolve around Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern, indie gems and Oscar winners, and, of course, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”
