HBO Max Highlights - December 2020

The best gift isn't under the Christmas tree, it's on HBO Max! Celebrate Christmas Day with Wonder Woman 1984, starring Gal Gadot, when it flies onto the platform the same day it hits theaters around the country.

The third season of Summer Camp Island, following best friends Oscar and Hedgehog as they have strange encounters with mystical creatures, discovering their own magical potential is also set to debut this December.

There's even more in store with the premiere of Heaven's Gate: The Cult of Cults, an intimate, four-part docuseries that explores the infamous religious movement and the stranger-than-fiction circumstances that culminated in the biggest mass suicide to ever take place in the U.S.

Top films debuting include The Shawshank Redemption, The Photograph, Sex and the City, Sex and the City 2, Gladiator, Meet Me in St. Louis and Demolition Man. December will be the last chance to watch Analyze This, Citizen Kane, and La La Land before they depart the service.
