HBO is giving us the final episodes of The White Lotus Season 2 this December, but there’s a lot of other shows and movies coming too. Both the premium network and its streaming platform, HBO Max, are releasing a handful of new seasons of our most beloved shows, as well as a batch of movies we’ve all been wanting to watch.
Kicking off the month on Dec. 1, HBO Max will debut a new season of the fiery Gossip Girl reboot. The Upper East Siders will return for more backstabbing, partying, and stalking, with a special visit from OG cast member Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg). Move over, Lonely Boy—these new kids are even more ferocious.
On Dec. 5, His Dark Materials will return for its third and final season on HBO. Only eight episodes remain in the fantasy series, which will air over the course of December. It will surely be an epic conclusion to this adaptation of Philip Pullman’s adventure novels.
Didn’t make it to a theater to catch The Banshees of Inisherin? No worries: Martin McDonagh’s seering ex-buddy comedy will land on the streamer on Dec. 13, and you’re going to want to watch it before Oscars season heats up. Colin Farrell is in line for the Best Actor trophy for playing Irish lad Pádraic, who faces existential dread when his best friend Colm (Brendan Gleeson) stops hanging out with him.
