BOOKIE premieres with the first two epsodes on Thursday, Nov. 30.

  DECEMBER 1 – JOY RIDE *Movie Premiere*

The hilarious and unapologetically explicit story of identity and self-discovery centres on four unlikely friends who embark on a once-in-a-lifetime international adventure. When Audrey’s (Park) business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of: Lolo (Cola), her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be a hot mess; Kat (Hsu), her college friend turned Chinese soap star; and Deadeye (Wu), Lolo’s eccentric cousin.

JOY RIDE streams Friday, Dec. 1 on STARZ.

  DECEMBER 1 – STARZ’s POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN *Season 3 Premiere*

• With emotions high and the stakes even higher, Season 3 returns to Southside Jamaica, Queens, with the Thomas family in turmoil and reeling from the mob’s coordinated attack. Kanan finds himself grappling with the very notions of right and wrong. Good and evil. Fidelity and disloyalty. And he’s not alone. Every member of the Thomas family must confront an existential crisis that challenges their very identity. Whether it’s Marvin, who’s still trying to redeem himself; Raq, who’s finally coming clean; Lou, who’s wrestling with his own evil; or Jukebox, who’s simply trying to break free from her family’s pathology, they are all attempting to redefine and reinvent themselves. MeKai Curtis, Patina Miller, and Tony Danza return, while Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods join the cast for Season 3. Subsequent new episodes of POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN drop Fridays on STARZ.

  DECEMBER 4 – HBO’s MURDER IN BOSTON: ROOTS, RAMPAGE, & RECKONING

• On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart places a frantic 911 call reporting that he and his pregnant wife — a white couple — have been shot by a Black man. The ensuing investigation ignites decades-old tensions and brutal racial profiling amidst a media firestorm and skepticism about Stuart’s story. Streaming Dec. 4 at 9 p.m. ET, the three-part docuseries MURDER IN BOSTON: ROOTS, RAMPAGE & RECKONING chronicles the complex history of race-based hostilities in the city and how the rush to justice brutalized a community.
