Christmas is fast approaching and the year is steadily winding down. It is the busiest and the most stressful time of the year as everybody is in a rush to shop and wrap presents, plan and go to parties, and finish everything at work. 

New FOX+ shows usher in the Holiday Season

In the midst of this crazy time, FOX+ has dropped new shows and movies this month at anytime of the day, wherever you are. 

It’s no secret that the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year. Fans of this spectacular runway are across the board, from fashionistas to music lovers, and fans of the supermodels strutting their stuff. 

This year’s show has Kelsey Merritt, the first Filipino woman to walk the runway. Alongside her are Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, as well as Victoria’s Secret regulars Cindy Bruna, Devon Windsor, Leomie Anderson, and Shanina Shaik. This year’s musical guests are Bebe Rexha, The Chainsmokers, Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini, Rita Ora, Shawn Mendes, and The Struts. 

Escape at Dannemora is a must-watch television limited series based on actual events. It is a true story that made headlines in 2015 when a prison break in upstate New York prompted a massive manhunt for two convicted murderers who was helped in their escape by a female prison employee.

The show stars Benicio Del Toro (last seen as the Collector in the Avengers Infinity War), Patricia Arquette (Medium), and Paul Dano (There Will be Blood). 

National Geographic’s half-scripted, half-documentary drama MARS is back for its second season. The second season will take place five years from where season 1 ended. It’s the year of 2042. The Mars settlers will face a plague, natural disasters, and the birth of a new baby. These will all happen while they are terraforming the planet to support human life. The need for water will introduce a private, for-profit corporation who will join the Mars settlers and try to siphon the planet's resources for its own gain.

The final installation of the dystopian Maze Runner Trilogy finds the last of the free “Gladers” (those immune to the Flare virus that had ravaged the world’s population) Thomas, Newt, and Frypan breaking into the legendary Last City to save their friends. There, they face the most complicated maze yet, and the answers to the questions the Gladers have been asking await them on the other side.

Wonder tells the story of the inspiring story of August Pullman, a boy with facial defects who attends a public elementary school for the first time. The movie is based on the New York Times Bestseller of the same name. Starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and Justin Tremblay. 

What would happen when an ex-champion and serial hustler challenges one of the strongest players of women’s tennis to a match? Battle of the Sexes is the movie based on that true-life match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in 1973, the most-watched televised sports event of all time. While it is easy to look up the results of the match, stay for the critically acclaimed performances of Steve Carell and Emma Stone. 

The Titan is a science fiction thriller set in 2048. Earth is overpopulated and rife with violence. Scientists are looking to Saturn’s moon, Titan, as a possible new home for humanity. Sam Worthington stars as Rick Janssen, one of the humans subjected to an experiment to adapt to the surface conditions on Titan; Tom Wilkinson as the project head Professor Martin Collingwood; and Taylor Schilling as Rick’s wife, Dr. Abigail Janssen.

For basketball fans, there is a new basketball league in the Philippines and select games will be shown live on FOX+.
