The Ultimate Guide to What to Watch on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, HBO Max, and More in November 2025

Let’s be honest: Winter’s most high-profile TV event is the final season of Stranger Things, which is being split into three parts (yup). It all kicks off the day before Thanksgiving, when «Volume 1» (sure) premieres, and will continue through New Year’s Eve, when the series finale will finally be released from the Netflix vault. Parting is such sweet sorrow, even when it’s this drawn out, to an arguably excessive degree.

With that being said, Stranger Things isn’t actually November’s only television premiere. There’s also Rachel Sennott’s new HBO comedy I Love LA; the new Peacock thriller series All Her Fault, which stars Succession‘s Sarah Snook; and Pluribus, the new Apple TV show that reunites Better Call Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn with Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan. And because it wouldn’t be a new month without a Taylor Sheridan show premiering, Landman returns for its second season on Paramount+.

Our guide to the best TV and streaming movies in November is divided into three sections: the best shows to watch this month, the best shows to watch by streaming service, and a calendar of TV highlights. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it below.

The best shows to watch in November 

I Love LA (Nov. 2, HBO)

Not only does the long-teased «Untitled Rachel Sennott Project» have a title — that would be I Love LA — but it has a premiere date, too. The comedy stars Sennott as Maia, a twentysomething working at a Los Angeles talent management company who involves herself in the career of her former codependent best friend and newly minted social media star Tallulah (Odessa A’Zion) after she shows up at Maia’s home unannounced. Jordan Firstman, Josh Hutcherson, and True Whitaker co-star. [Trailer]

All’s Fair (Nov. 4, Hulu)

Ryan Murphy will rest when he’s dead, and even when he’s six feet under, he’ll still probably put out half a dozen shows a year. His latest is this legal drama about a group of female divorce lawyers who form their own firm in a field dominated by men. Naturally, their business lives intertwine with their personal lives, because this is television. The powerhouse cast includes Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson. –Tim Surette [Trailer]

All Her Fault (Nov. 6, Peacock)

Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning co-starring in a new show? Say less. OK, fine, we can say a little more: All Her Fault, based on Andrea Mara’s novel of the same name, is a Chicago-set thriller series about a mother (played by Snook) who arrives to pick up her young son from his first playdate, only to be met at the door by a woman she doesn’t recognize. The stranger doesn’t have her son and claims to have never heard of him. –Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Death by Lightning (Nov. 6, Netflix)

Following last year’s Lincoln assassination drama Manhunt on Apple TV, Netflix is launching its own limited series about a presidential assassination. In Death by Lightning, the president at the center of the action is James A. Garfield (Michael Shannon), whose time in office was cut short when he was shot by Charles J. Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen). The cast also includes Nick Offerman as Garfield’s vice president and successor, Chester A. Arthur; Betty Gilpin as Garfield’s wife; Bradley Whitford as his secretary of state; and Shea Whigham as a senator who clashed with him. The facial hair on this show is going to be magnificent. –Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Pluribus (Nov. 7, Apple TV)

This one is for the Kim Wexler fans, which should be all of you. Better Call Saul MVP Rhea Seehorn stars in Pluribus, a «genre-bending» new series from Breaking Bad creator and Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan in which «the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.» Seehorn plays Carol, the miserable person in question. The Better Call Saul reunion is enough of a draw on its own, but it doesn’t hurt that Gilligan, a longtime X-Files writer, is getting back in touch with his sci-fi roots, too. –Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Palm Royale Season 2 (Nov. 12, Apple TV)

Heading into the second season of Palm Royale, Apple’s frothy ’60s-set drama, discerning fans need to know: Will the show’s best character, Ricky Martin’s Robert, survive after being shot while impersonating an astronaut? Will anyone else learn that Carol Burnett’s Norma assumed the real Norma’s identity decades ago? Will Maxine (Kristen Wiig) recover from her meltdown at the gala? Will Mary (Julia Duffy) try to kill Richard Nixon again? And that’s what you missed on Palm Royale Season 1. –Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

The Beast in Me (Nov. 13, Netflix)

Jodie Foster (!) and Conan O’Brien (?!) produce The Beast in Me, a limited series about Aggie Wiggs (Claire Danes), a beloved author who retreated from public life after the death of her son. When real estate mogul Nile Jarvis (Matthew Rhys), who was at one point the lead suspect in his wife’s disappearance, buys the home next door to Aggie, she’s sent spiraling down an obsessive path as she searches for the truth. –Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Landman Season 2 (Nov. 16, Paramount+)

Taylor Sheridan has the Midas touch, and this gritty, unpredictable drama about black gold proves it. Landman, the super-producer’s biggest show outside of the Yellowstone franchise, stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, a Michelob-swilling oil company manager dealing with an endless set of personal and professional problems. Season 2 will find expanded roles for Demi Moore (in her first performance after her Oscar nomination) and Andy Garcia, who were both barely in Season 1, and a new role for perpetual cowboy Sam Elliott. Expect more monologues that make you say, «I don’t agree philosophically, but I see Taylor’s point.» –Liam Mathews [Trailer] [Everything to know about Landman Season 2]

Stranger Things Season 5: Volume 1 (Nov. 26, Netflix)

It’s the beginning of the end. The fifth and final season of Stranger Things premieres in three parts: four episodes on Nov. 26, three on Christmas, and the series finale on New Year’s Eve. It’s been more than three years since Season 4 premiered, and Season 5 picks up a year after the events of the fourth season. It’s the fall of 1987, and Hawkins is in a precarious state after the opening of the rifts. As the government locks down the town and hunts for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), she’s forced into hiding — but she and her friends will have to join forces if they want to take down Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). To put it simply, whatever plan the Hawkins crew comes up with to fight the forces of the Upside Down has to work. –Kat Moon [Teaser] [Everything to know about Stranger Things Season 5]

Netflix’s best new shows and movies in November

Once upon a time, a long time ago in the year 2022, the fourth season of a Netflix series called Stranger Things captured the world’s attention. Now Netflix is bringing the series out of cryostasis to wrap things up for its fifth and final season, nine years after it first premiered and about eight years too late to stave off puberty for its young stars. Stranger Things is clearly the biggest new release coming to Netflix in November, but the rest of the slate is looking pretty enticing, too. A pair of new originals make their debut: Death by Lightning, a historical drama detailing the shooting of U.S. president James A. Garfield, starring Matthew Macfadyen and Michael Shannon (it’s more fun than it sounds); and The Beast in Me, a thriller starring Claire Danes as a novelist who becomes entangled with her new neighbor (Matthew Rhys), a conceited real estate mogul suspected of killing his previous wife. And Netflix’s Oscar season officially begins with the release of Train Dreams, a Sundance darling that’s bound to snag a few nominations at the Academy Awards. Here’s our list of the best shows and movies on Netflix in November, plus everything coming to and leaving Netflix in November.

HBO Max’s best new shows and movies in November

If you need a nice comedown after the spooky season festivities, HBO Max has options for you this November. The biggest TV premiere comes at the top of the month: I Love LA, Rachel Sennott’s new comedy series which features Josh Hutcherson, Leighton Meester, Elijah Wood, and more very funny people. Also premiering this month is probably I Love LA‘s polar opposite, the French period drama series The Seduction, which co-stars Diane Kruger and Emily in Paris’ Lucas Bravo. On the movies end, the relationship between HBO Max and A24 remains as strong as ever, with Celine Song’s romantic dramedy Materialists and Ari Aster’s paranoid COVID-era thriller Eddington both hitting the streaming service this month. Fun fact: Both of these movies feature Pedro Pascal! Here’s our list of the best shows and movies on HBO Max in November, plus everything coming to HBO Max in November.

Hulu’s best new shows and movies in November

All’s fair in Ryan Murphy’s TV universe this November. Murphy’s latest series, All’s Fair, follows a group of high-powered divorce lawyers at an all-female firm, giving stars like Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Kim Kardashian the chance to dramatically hang up the phone on each other while dressed to the nines. The larger-than-life new legal drama, premiering Nov. 4, leads an otherwise low-key month for Hulu, but fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives can look out for Season 3 midway through the month. Here’s our list of the best shows and movies on Hulu in November, plus everything coming to Hulu in November.

Amazon Prime Video’s best new shows and movies in November

Amazon Prime Video’s new TV shows and movies in November are highlighted by Maxton Hall — The World Between Us, a German YA series that has become the streamer’s biggest international show. It turns out that American teenagers aren’t the only ones who get crushes, party hard, and sleep with their teachers. Prime Video’s streak of straight-to-streaming action-comedy flicks continues, with Alan Ritchson and Kevin James playing a couple of dads who get chased by bad guys in Playdate. There’s also the thriller Malice, the reality series June Farms, and the animated adventure series The Mighty Nein. What the month lacks in quality, it makes up for in variety! That’s some glass-half-full thinking, eh? Here’s our list of the best shows and movies on Amazon Prime Video in November, plus everything coming to Amazon Prime Video in November.

Peacock’s new shows and movies in November

If your Succession withdrawal hasn’t been alleved by Brian Cox’s sultry narration of McDonald’s commercials, then let Peacock’s new TV series All Her Fault, starring Sarah «Shiv Roy» Snook, be your salve. In the drama, which headlines Peacock’s new shows and movies coming in November, Snook plays a mother who drops her young son off for a playdate at a new friend’s house, but when she shows up hours later to pick him up, he’s not there and the people in the house aren’t people she recognizes. Aside from that, the offerings are pretty light except for a trio of movies making their streaming debuts: Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale premieres Nov. 7, Nobody 2 debuts Nov. 14, and The Bad Guys 2 drops Nov. 21. And if you can’t make it out to BravoCon to see all the drama in person, Peacock is streaming parts of the convention live. Here’s our list of everything coming to Peacock in November.

Paramount+’s new shows and movies in November

A Taylor Sheridan show (Tulsa King) was the highlight of Paramount+’s new shows in September, a Taylor Sheridan show (Mayor of Kingstown) was the highlight of Paramount+’s new releases in October, and a Taylor Sheridan show (Landman) is the highlight of Paramount+’s new releases in November. (Don’t worry, the streak ends soon; Lioness Season 3 doesn’t come out until at least next year.) Landman Season 2 premieres on Nov. 16, with Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris squarely under the entire fist of the Mexican cartel and dealing with the responsibility of parenting a sexually active teenage daughter. If I had to choose between the two, I’d take my chances with the cartel. Other notable new releases coming to Paramount+ this month include The Neighborhood spin-off Crutch, starring Tracy Morgan; Orlando Bloom’s boxing film The Cut; and the PAW Patrol Christmas special. Here’s our list of everything coming to Paramount+ in November.
