What’s Coming to Pluto TV in December 2022, Including ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind,’ ‘John Wick’ Trilogy, Christmas Movies

Long before “X-Files,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” allowed audiences to explore the idea of aliens and UFOs on Earth in a realistic, dramatic way. Starting this month, Pluto TV is streaming the sci-fi film about a group of people eager to contact aliens. Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr star in the landmark movie, written and directed by Steven Spielberg, about those determined to pursue the secrets of the cosmos.

The “John Wick” franchise is also coming to Pluto in December. The ultra-violent action films focus on an ex-hitman forced to hunt down some of the world’s most egregious killers and avenge the death of his dog Daisy. Created by Derek Kolstad, Keanu Reeves has played Wick in all three big-screen installments, with the fourth slated for theaters in March 2023. Additional films and TV series are in the works, as well. Catch up on all of the righteous vengeance for free.

Given the festive month, the streamer is also running a slew of Christmas films. Among other holiday categories, the Hallmark Movies entry includes “Christmas In Conway,” “A Majestic Christmas,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” (2016), and “Broadcasting Christmas.”

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free live TV streaming service that provides more than 350 channels of live TV and thousands of on demand movies and TV shows.

Most of what you’ll find on Pluto TV qualifies as “background television.” It’s fine to keep on while you’re scrolling on your phone or cooking something in the kitchen.

Because these aren’t traditional live TV channels, it’s not a great option for live events, news, or sports, but it’s a solid choice for cord cutters who want to supplement their other services with some “comfort food” TV. You’ll find channels dedicated to “Star Trek,” “CSI,” “Jersey Shore,” “Survivor,” and “The Amazing Race.”
