December is a month filled with exciting new additions to streaming services. From pop culture quizzes to crime comedies and animated anthologies, there's something for every viewer. Let's dive into some of the most promising new titles arriving this month.

Uncover the Hidden Treasures of December's Streaming Lineup

Amazon Prime Video: "Pop Culture Jeopardy!"

In a unique twist on the classic "Jeopardy!" format, "Pop Culture Jeopardy!" hosted by Colin Jost features three-person teams competing instead of individual contestants. The clues focus on memes, movies, TV, sports, and modern pop songs, avoiding history and geography. Each round includes a Daily Double and a Triple Play with three answers for each team member. It's a one-big-tournament season that allows viewers to root for their favorites as they advance to the finals.

This spinoff brings a fresh take to the quiz show genre, appealing to fans of pop culture and trivia. With its engaging format and all-star teams, it's sure to be a hit among viewers.

Amazon Prime Video: "The Sticky"

Borrowing elements from a Canadian maple syrup heist, this crime comedy mini-series stars Margo Martindale as Ruth. When her husband is hospitalized, she takes over the syrup-tapping business and finds herself in conflict with the powerful trade organization. To save her land and seek revenge, Ruth teams up with a not-quite-reformed mobster and a warehouse security guard to steal barrels from the national syrup reserve.

"The Sticky" finds humor in this crazy scheme while also offering a low-key portrait of rural Canada populated by eccentrics and petty bureaucrats. It's a unique and entertaining story that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish.

Amazon Prime Video: "Secret Level"

Each episode of this animation anthology is inspired by a different video game, taking inspiration from concepts and characters in titles like "Pac-Man" and "Warhammer 40,000". Created by Tim Miller, who also created "Love, Death & Robots", "Secret Level" features an all-star voice cast including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Keanu Reeves.

The supervising director, Dave Wilson, gives each installment a similar C.G.I. sheen, aiming for a more photorealistic look than a cartoony style. Despite the differences in approach, the series maintains a consistent visual quality that adds to its appeal.

Other Arrivals in December

On December 3, "Jack in Time for Christmas" arrives. On December 5, "Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story" and "The Red Virgin" join the lineup. And on December 23, "Chiefsaholic: A Wolf in Chief's Clothing" makes its debut.

These additional titles offer a diverse range of entertainment options, ensuring there's always something new to watch.
