There's an unusually high number of movies coming to Paramount+ in December, including titles from the Disney and Warner Bros. libraries.

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.
