November is here, and if you’re an entertainment enthusiast like myself, I bet you’re wondering what new movies and shows are going to be debuting during the month. I love when the holidays roll around, and there’s just something unmatched about curling up on the couch to watch some of my favorite programs. And while the arrival of November means bidding goodbye to spooky season and Halloween movies and shows, that doesn’t mean the entertainment realm plans on slowing down at all.
With so many new releases coming out to choose from, I’ve compiled a list of the hottest new movies and shows coming out this November from your favorite streaming services.
Apple TV+
Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me (Nov. 4)
This might be the November release I’m most looking forward to: It’s Selena Gomez’s documentary. Following Gomez throughout the past six years of her life, this documentary is sure to peel back even more layers that we haven’t seen of the superstar and Rare Beauty founder yet. In the official trailer, Gomez bares all, exposing an extremely vulnerable side of herself sure to hit the hearts of viewers. The trailer makes me shed a tear just watching it, and I can’t imagine how emotional My Mind & Me is truly going to be.
Netflix
Young Royals Season 2 (Nov. 1)
That’s right — everyone’s favorite coming of age queer romance series is back on Nov. 1. Young Royals follows the story of two young men, Prince Wilhelm and Simon, navigating their romance while feeling the pressure of society weighing on their shoulders. After their sex tape got leaked in Season 1, I’ll definitely be tuning in to see is Wilhelm and Simon can get back on track, or if Wilhelm will prioritize his legacy duties as crown prince.
Love is Blind Season 3, Ep. 8 – 10 (Nov. 2) & Season Finale (Nov. 9)
If you’ve been following Love is Blind throughout its third season, you’re going to want to tune in on Nov. 2 and 9 for the final few episodes of this *chaotic* season. The series has historically proven to be turbulent, and Season 3 is no different, with questions arising as to which couples will stick together or split up ahead of the Nov. 9 finale!
Enola Holmes 2 (Nov. 4)
Everyone’s favorite actress Millie Bobby Brown is stepping back into her role of Enola Holmes come Nov. 4. As the sister to the infamous Sherlock Holmes, we’re going to be able to watch Enola navigate her career as a detective, taking on the case of a missing girl. Enola will be joined by her infamous brother, Sherlock Holmes, throughout the entirety of the movie. So, if you’re into fictional criminology, this is the movie for you.
Buying Beverly Hills Season 1 (Nov. 4)
As a huge fan of the Real Housewives franchise, when I found out housewife Kyle Richards’ husband Mauricio Umansky was going to be creating his own Selling Sunset-inspired real estate show, I was immediately intrigued. In Buying Beverly Hills, fans will be able to watch Umansky, his step daughter Farrah, and daughter Alexia navigate the luxury real estate scene in the Beverly Hills area.
The Crown Season 5 (Nov. 9)
The Crown is a fictional series based upon the life of Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family at large, and it’s back for its fifth season. After the queen died earlier this year at the age 96, many believed that filming and production would be halted for The Crown. In fact, the cast learned the news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death while on set, so it’s clear that Season 5 is going to be emotional for many.
Talk has also been stirring around Season 5 as it is set to cover the 1990s time period, which was an extremely rough time for the royal family. One of the most riveting questions on everyone’s mind is if The Crown will showcase Princess Diana’s tragic 1997 car wreck. The series has received serious backlash after rumors of filming moments leading to the car crash have leaked, so it’s unsure what exactly will be included in Season 5.
Elite Season 6 (Nov. 18)
One of Netflix’s most popular series, Elite, is back for its sixth season. The teen drama took fans by storm after its first season. Elite follows the fictional story of teens attending the distinguished Las Encinas school in Madrid, plagued by some dark realities, might I add. Season 5 left viewers with a cliffhanger featuring main character Samuel, so it’s finally time to get some of the fans’ questions answered.
Wednesday Season 1 (Nov. 23)
Tim Burton’s Wednesday is hitting Netflix on Nov. 23, and it follows the story of the Addams family’s oldest daughter, Wednesday Addams. That’s right, Wednesday is stepping into her own in this new series, learning to navigate her own abilities while attending Nevermore Academy. Even though Halloween might have just ended, Wednesday is sure to carry on those spooky vibes you might still be itching to get a hold of.
Disney+
The Santa Clauses Mini Series (Nov. 16)
That’s right — Tim Allen is back as Santa Clause. I can’t describe the nostalgia that overtakes my body anytime I rewatch The Santa Clause movies, and now, I get to relive that all over again. In this two-episode mini series, Scott Calvin decides it’s time to retire his role of Santa Clause, when everything starts to go wrong. I can’t wait to see how this story plays out, and I’m even more excited to see some of the original characters that filled Gen Z’s childhood holidays up with so much joy.
Disenchanted (Nov. 18)
Disney+ is bringing back all the classics this November, y’all! If you’ve seen the classic Enchanted movie, you’re going to want to tune in for Disenchanted, the movie’s official sequel. After living in the real world for quite some time, Giselle makes a wish to live a more fairytale-esque life… which swiftly turns her world upside down.
