New HBO NOW Releases: December 2016

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — on HBO NOW, that is. This December, the network is gifting subscribers with several great new additions, including a few of this year’s most enjoyable films. So whether you missed Hail, Caesar! and Midnight Special in theaters, or you’ve been dying to give them another watch, HBO NOW’s upcoming slate has you covered — and then some.

Other newer releases heading to HBO NOW in December include Key and Peele’s adorable action comedy Keanu (worth it for the kitten alone) and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (worth it for the look on your mom’s face when you offer to watch it with her). If you’re in the mood to double up, you can pair that with the first My Big Fat Greek Wedding, or follow Hail, Caesar! with A Serious Man.

As for original programming, December brings season finales of two acclaimed new shows: Divorce and Westworld. If you’re anything like us, you’re probably thrilled and a little distraught about the latter, since we may not see Season 2 until 2018. Unfortunately, a new month also means several titles are leaving HBO NOW, including classics like Dog Day Afternoon and Bad Santa (though you probably won’t miss Pan).
