What’s new on Apple TV+ this month (December 2024)

Each month, the list of new programs on Apple TV+ tends to be pretty lean. The streamer has a unique model, which is powered by original content. Apple TV+ has set a very high bar since announcing its bold strategy, with a host of TV shows and movies headlined by A-list talent and an outstanding awards pedigree.

There's one more month to wait for the return of Emmy-winning drama Severance, and this December is a very quiet one on Apple TV+. Nonetheless, you can still look forward to a ten-part nature series made in collaboration with the BBC Studios Nature Unit and Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum in Fly Me to the Moon.

It's an odd month when Edward Scissorhands and The Matrix are both on the same streamer, but here we are at the end of 2024 with the equivalent of cats and dogs living together.

Paramount+'s highest tier has the big attraction this month, which is the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin. Showtime just can't quit this serial killer who tackles bad guys, and both the original Dexter and its sequel series, Dexter: New Blood, rank among the most popular shows that the premium network has ever produced. There's even talk of another series, if you can believe it.
