Paramount has announced the movies, TV shows and sports coming to its Paramount+ streaming service in December 2023. The lineup for next month includes holiday collection ‘Tis the Season for Streaming and the premieres of the new animated adventures PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and Baby Shark’s Big Movie.
The star-studded cast of the crime drama Finestkind deliver powerful performances in its streaming debut. And documentary fans will receive a gift pack of news series, including The World According to Football, Thriller 40 and Born in Synanon.
In December, audiences will be treated to the streaming premiere of the crime drama Finestkind, starring Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, Jenna Ortega and Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones. The film tells the gripping story of two brothers who have led dramatically different lives and are reunited during one fateful summer.
Families will get to swim and sing along with iconic pre-school favorite crooner Baby Shark in Baby Shark’s Big Movie. After garnering more than 13 billion views on YouTube and getting the whole planet to sing doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, Baby Shark’s movie debut will see the titular tyke teaming up with aquatic artists from all over the sea played by real-world singing sensations, including Ashley Tisdale, Cardi B and Lance Bass.
The transformation of an idealistic drug rehabilitation community into a hierarchical cult is detailed in Born in Synanon, a Geeta Gandbhir-directed docuseries coming to SHOWTIME and Paramount+. The series tells the story of Cassidy Arkin, who was born into Synanon and lived there until the age of six.
Across four episodes, viewers will watch as Cassidy, for the first time, comes to terms with the stark reality of what she experienced as a child. Throughout the series, additional former Synanon members share their own harrowing and heart-breaking stories of corruption and abuse.
