Hollywood Suite is getting into the holiday spirit by unwrapping a trio of exclusive premieres this December, offering a festive blend of Hollywood history, pop‑culture icons, and nostalgic film deep dives that should please viewers settling in for the season.
The headline attraction is Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar (2024), executive produced by Kim Kardashian. This three‑part docuseries reframes Elizabeth Taylor as not only one of Hollywood’s most celebrated performers but also a celebrity who fundamentally changed how the world engages with superstardom. The documentary also explores her influence as a businesswoman and activist, featuring reflections from Sharon Stone, Joan Collins, and Paris Jackson. Part one premieres December 26 at 9 PM ET on the Hollywood Suite 2010s+ channel, with on‑demand availability the same day.
Sharon Stevens, Vice‑President of Programming for Hollywood Suite, said the line‑up reflects a season that celebrates people and films that shaped culture, from icons who dazzled on screen to those whose lives sparked broader conversations in entertainment.
Also debuting is Lunatic: The Luna Vachon Story (2024), chronicling the life of Canadian wrestling legend Luna Vachon. Growing up within a lineage of wrestling royalty, she built a persona that pushed against the industry’s narrow expectations for women in the ’90s, determined to embody “the biggest, baddest wrestling villain that ever lived.” The film is directed by Vancouver‑born Kate Kroll, and premieres on demand December 1 before airing on the Hollywood Suite 2010s+ channel on December 16 at 9 PM ET.
Rounding out the December offerings are new episodes of the Hollywood Suite original series A Year in Film (2025). This season goes back farther than usual, opening in 1939 with cultural landmarks like Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. Later episodes explore 1976, 1987, 1990 and 2004, including commentary on films such as All the President’s Men, The Lost Boys, Goodfellas and The Notebook. All five episodes premiere on demand December 1.
