December is a bit more active than last month with six premieres as well as with the arrival of the second part of Stranger Things Season 5. Along with that one, other big-name shows include Fallout (returning for its second season on Prime Video) and Percy Jackson and the Olympians (returning for its second season on Disney+). The fan-favorite Record of Raganarok finally returns with its third season on Netflix, and one more animated entry from that streamer wraps as Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft releases its second and final season. Peacock has the only new series on the schedule for December thus far with The Copenhagen Test, which is more of a spy thriller, but it does have some genre elements. And the second season of the supernatural drama Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale has its premiere on AMC+/Sundance Now on Christmas Day. More shows could be added to the schedule in the next week or more, so keep an eye on our Sci Fi TV Premieres page and our Sci Fi TV Schedule for updates.
