The Daytime Emmys finally air this week (December 15 on CBS), after a delay due to the writers’ strike, with Susan Lucci receiving her Lifetime Achievement Honors and General Hospital leading with 19 nominations. Also on CBS this week is the premiere of Big Brother Reindeer Games (December 11), with fan favorites returning for the holiday competition.
Barbie comes to streaming (December 15 on Max), along with an American Sign Language version, for those who have yet to see (or want to rewatch) Margot Robbie‘s Barbie and Ryan Gosling‘s Ken and their life-changing adventure to the Real World. Also streaming is The Family Plan (December 15 on Apple TV+), starring Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan and about a former assassin who packs his family into their minivan and takes off on a road trip to Las Vegas.
