There’s no getting around the fact that December belongs to the movies, and there typically just isn’t a whole lot of high-profile TV to be found during the last month of the year.

We asked you to vote for your most anticipated TV or streaming series of the month, and you responded by choosing the return of Fallout to Prime Video, Percy Jackson’s dangerous adventures, Rowan Atkinson getting into holiday chaos, a new Spartacus series, and a new western drama. Read on for the five most anticipated TV or streaming shows of December!
No. 1
Fallout: Season 2
(2025)
Premiere Date: December 17 on Prime Video
Prime Video’s Fallout is back for a second season, dropping December 17 and shifting the action to the chaos of New Vegas. Familiar faces return as Lucy and The Ghoul set out on a high-stakes search for her missing father, while Maximus becomes tangled in internal battles brewing within the Brotherhood of Steel.

No. 2
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 2
(2025)
Premiere Date: December 10 on Disney+
The fan-favorite Disney+ adventure charges into its next chapter with an adaptation of the novel The Sea of Monsters. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover set sail (literally) on a dangerous quest across treacherous waters to track down the Golden Fleece. Along the way, Percy inches closer to the truths he’s been chasing: where he fits in a world filled with gods and monsters, and who he’s ultimately meant to become.
No. 3
Man Vs Baby: Season 1

Premiere Date: December 11 on Netflix
Holiday chaos gets an extra twist in this new comedy as Rowan Atkinson plays a well-meaning dad who suddenly finds himself caring for a missing baby while housesitting a luxurious London penthouse. Atkinson and Will Davies are behind the series, and Alanah Bloor and Claudie Blakley have joined the cast.
No. 4
Spartacus: House of Ashur: Season 1
(2025)
Premiere Date: December 5 on Starz
House of Ashur, premiering on Starz on December 5, imagines Ashur rising from slave to master as he takes command of the very ludus that once owned him. Ashur teams up with the fierce gladiatrix Achillia in the new drama. It’s a fresh twist on the Spartacus legacy that fans are looking forward to.
No. 5
The Abandons: Season 1
(2025)
Premiere Date: December 4 on Netflix
Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey lead this new Netflix western, arriving December 4. Set in the Washington Territory of 1854, The Abandons follows two formidable women at the helm of very different clans: Anderson’s Constance Van Ness, matriarch of a wealthy dynasty, and Headey’s Fiona Nolan, who protects a found family of orphans and outcasts. Their worlds collide through buried secrets, forbidden romance, and two crimes that bind their fates to a coveted stretch of land hiding a silver vein.
