Season four of Amazon's 'The Expanse' and a new ESPN '30 for 30' film also debut the week of Dec. 13.
A new adaptation of one of Stephen King's most loved novels arrives on Dec. 17 when CBS All Access debuts The Stand. The week of Dec. 13-19 also brings premieres of The Expanse on Amazon and Chadwick Boseman's final movie performance, as well as several broadcast finales.
Holiday programming also continues to deck many, many halls. (For a rundown of the holiday movies and specials airing in the coming week, check out The Hollywood Reporter's holiday TV guide.)
Here is The Hollywood Reporter's rundown of some of the coming week's highlights. It would be next to impossible to watch everything, but let THR point the way to worthy options each week. All times are ET/PT unless noted.
The Big Show
The Stand, Stephen King's epic story about good and evil set after a devastating plague, was previously adapted as an ABC miniseries in the 1990s. The book gets a more expansive treatment in a 10-episode CBS All Access series that premieres Thursday, with subsequent episodes debuting weekly. The series, greenlit in early 2019, also has an eerie timeliness now as it's premiering when the country is in the midst of a pandemic.
Whoopi Goldberg plays Mother Abigail, the 108-year-old leader of a band of survivors who align themselves against the embodiment of evil: Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard). James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young, Jovan Adepo, Owen Teague, Henry Zaga and Brad William Henke also star.

The final film Chadwick Boseman made before his death in August is Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, based on a play by August Wilson. Boseman is likely to get serious awards consideration for his role in the film, which also stars Viola Davis and Colman Domingo. It premieres Friday on Netflix.
Also coming this week are YA ballet drama Tiny Pretty Things (Monday, Netflix); the fourth season of The Expanse (Wednesday, Amazon); HBO Max's special Homeschool Musical: Class of 2020 (Thursday); and another show about ballet, docuseries On Pointe (Friday, Disney+).
