Baby Shark's Big Movie
This one's specifically for the kids, but the whole family can join in. After Baby Shark's (Kimiko Glenn) family moves from the beloved Carnivore Cove to the bustling metropolis, our finned hero faces his biggest challenge yet: life in the big city without his best friend, William (Luke Youngblood). But the waters get even rougher when Baby Shark encounters Stariana (Ashley Tisdale), a nefarious pop starfish with a diabolical plan to steal Baby Shark's magical singing talent and rule the underwater music world.
Premieres Dec. 8 on Paramount Plus
Finestkind
Starring Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, Jenna Ortega and Tommy Lee Jones, Finestkind plunges into the treacherous waters of the Massachusetts commercial fishing industry. There, two estranged brothers are reunited under the harshest of circumstances. As they grapple with financial hardships, the brothers turn to a notorious Boston crime syndicate for help, unwittingly entangling themselves in a dangerous world they know nothing about. Inspired by director Brian Helgeland's real-life experiences aboard a scallop boat, this crime drama captures the essence of survival and how tight family can truly be.
Premieres Dec. 15 on Paramount Plus
