The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!
Netflix, Apple TV, Disney Plus, Hulu and HBO Max today (December 24, 2025) are adding 13 new shows and movies to their lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:
Pluribus – Season One Finale
Where to Watch: Apple TV
When: Wednesday, December 24
Pluribus stars Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul) as the unhappiest person in the world in this much-anticipated sci-fi series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico (the location for Breaking Bad and Gilligan’s Better Call Saul), Seehorn (pictured above) plays a writer named Carol who somehow manages to avoid a global virus that transforms everyone into a happy and contented individual. Her non-conformity provokes concern among the populace who cater to her every need and promise a swift solution for her ‘condition.’ Carol, however, aims to persuade the world that being ‘virus happy’ is not what it’s cracked up to be. I’ve seen the first eight episodes of Pluribus and am happy to declare it the best show currently on TV. Seehorn is funny and sympathetic in the main role and Gilligan, who so flawlessly depicted the criminal subculture in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, has now put the entire crazy world in the spotlight. Note: Apple TV moved the season finale up from Friday to today to accommodate holiday travelers.
Made In Korea
Where to Watch: Hulu
When: Wednesday, December 24
The first season series stars Hyun Bin as Baek Ki-Tae, a corrupt intelligence officer who exploits his position to amass wealth. Jung Woo-Sung plays a young principled prosecutor who vows to bring Ki-Tae down even if it means risking his life and the lives of his loved ones. The six-episode crime drama is generating major buzz with some critics comparing it to early Scorsese for its fast-paced action and moral dilemmas. Hulu debuts the first two episodes today with new episodes every Wednesday thereafter until the finale on January 14, 2026.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Season two, new episode)
Where to Watch: Disney Plus
When: Wednesday, December 24
Walker Scobell stars as young Percy Jackson who must locate Zeus’ lost thunderbolt to restore order in mythological Greece. The popular teen/tween show, which will also stream on Hulu, will follow Percy in season two as he enters the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece! Disney Plus on Wednesday will debut episode four which will feature an unexpected meeting of the Gods!
