Furthermore, the month will be tinged with the magic of Christmas, thanks to a selection of great classics and new thematic FAST channels, which will revive the atmosphere of the holidays, perfect for bringing the whole family together.
In the transactional section it is already available Joker: Folie À Deux which debuted at the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival.

To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island’s animals and takes care of an orphaned baby goose.
For horror fans, there are two proposals this month; Afraid is the new thriller produced by Jason Blum, in which a family tests a digital assistant that learns their behaviors to anticipate their needs, but the AI becomes obsessive, eliminating any threat to the family’s well-being.
Also coming soon is Smile 2, the sequel to the successful horror film Smile, starring Naomi Scott as international pop star Skye Riley who, about to embark on a world tour, experiences terrifying events that force her to face her past under pressure of fame.
To spend a carefree evening and indulge in a few laughs, we recommend two romantic comedies that make fun of, but also make you reflect on, the topic of marriage.
Until night do us part is a brilliant bittersweet comedy starring Pilar Fogliati and Filippo Scicchitano, in which a young married couple is catapulted into a nocturnal adventure that will make them reflect with humor on marriage, its compromises and the eternal mystery of love.
British humor will win you over I pronounce you wife and…: When a reluctant bride-to-be’s fiancé dies, she insists on marrying him anyway, vowing to overcome public opinion, the law of the land, and the objections of her beloved.
