Keira Knightley is back in Black Doves, Jessica Chastain heads to Nashville in Heartland and The Altruists drops all eight episodes on November 19. Here are 22 November release dates, the time they go live and why some titles skip your country.
New on Netflix in November 2026: Keira Knightley returns in Black Doves season 2 on November 5, Jessica Chastain heads to Nashville in Heartland on November 13, and The Altruists drops all eight episodes on November 19.
Our calendar lists 22 confirmed releases, from anime to two early Christmas movies and an NFL game. As of October 19, 2026, Netflix hasn’t posted its full November list, so we’ll add titles as they’re confirmed.
One catch: the lineup differs by country. Gentle Monster with Léa Seydoux comes to Netflix in only five countries, and when you travel, the country you’re in decides what your app shows.
Every date comes from Netflix itself: Tudum, the About Netflix newsroom or the title page.

Power, the STARZ drama, also arrives in November, but Tudum hasn’t named a day. For what’s streaming today, see what people are watching most on Netflix right now.
Four shows stand out, and two of them are brand new.
Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire and Andrew Buchan are back, with Ambika Mod and Neve Campbell joining. Helen is still passing secrets to the Black Doves while her husband gets ready to become prime minister, and she crosses paths with Sam again.
Quinn Shephard’s eight-episode mystery starts with a dance team initiation gone wrong. Afterward, Catholic school girls begin having prophetic visions, and mass hysteria spreads through town. Kristina Bogic, Sofia Wylie and Gabby Windey star. Our tip if you want something genuinely new.
The German period drama ends with a six-episode final season, exclusively on Netflix worldwide. Franz comes home from the Sardinian war traumatized, and Elisabeth fights for their marriage before she finally leaves Vienna. Devrim Lingnau and Philip Froissant lead.
Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison wanted to rebuild the financial system and ended up accused of stealing billions. Anthony Boyle plays Bankman-Fried, Julia Garner plays Ellison. Graham Moore created the limited series, and all eight episodes arrive at once.
North of North season 2 (Nov 5) returns to Ice Cove, the Arctic town of this Canadian comedy. In The Hunting Wives season 2 (Nov 26), Sophie and Margo start out at odds until an old secret and new enemies push them back together. ChiaroScuro (Nov 11) is an Italian crime comedy about an art expert helping the Rome police on a case tied to his past.
Beyond the four below, look out for The Good Lawyer (Un bon avocat, Nov 9), a French thriller with Laurent Lafitte about a flashy defense attorney who overdoses in court and gets one week to save his career.
Lee Chang-dong’s first film in eight years follows two couples, a laid-off worker and his wife, and a documentary filmmaker and her husband, whose worlds collide. Jeon Do-yeon and Sul Kyung-gu star. After a run in theaters, it lands on Netflix worldwide. Our pick of the month for one serious evening.
Jessica Chastain leads this thriller about Misty Jones, a former country star who goes back to Nashville to find her missing niece. Garrett Hedlund and Ross Lynch co-star, and Shana Feste wrote and directed it. Not to be confused with the Canadian series of the same name.
Netflix Animation puts Cinderella’s wicked stepsisters in charge. Lilith steals the magic wand, breaks the fairy tale and then has to team up with Cinderella to save the kingdom. The voice cast is stacked: Ali Wong, Amanda Seyfried, Daniel Radcliffe, Peter Dinklage and Bette Midler.
Peter Berg’s World War II drama follows four college football stars who join the Marines after Pearl Harbor and play a legendary game before the invasion of Okinawa. Nicholas Galitzine and Bill Skarsgård star. It opens in select theaters on October 30 and reaches Netflix on November 25.
Avedon (Nov 11) is Ron Howard’s documentary about photographer Richard Avedon, built on his personal archive. Primetime Preacher$ (Nov 20), from Joe Berlinger, looks at three powerful televangelists and their influence on American politics.
Anime fans get Bass X Machina (Nov 3), an animated western with steampunk and sci-fi, with Brian Tyree Henry in the voice cast, and Fool Night (Nov 26), based on Kasumi Yasuda’s manga. Our guide to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 covers another anime worth tracking.
The Devil’s Plan: Dead Again (Nov 10) brings back the Korean brain survival show with returning veterans, and Mike Tyson: Return of the Mike (Nov 3) is a one-man show with zero filter.
Netflix streams the Green Bay Packers at the Los Angeles Rams live from SoFi Stadium on Wednesday, November 25, the first NFL game on Thanksgiving Eve. As of October 19, Tudum lists kickoff as TBA. Spending the holiday abroad? Read the VPN section below before you fly.
According to the Netflix Help Center, originals are typically released globally at 12 a.m. Pacific Time. Daylight saving time ends in Europe on October 25 and in the US on November 1, so in November midnight Pacific means:
Where you are | Release time |
|---|---|
Los Angeles (PT) | 12 a.m. |
Chicago (CT) | 2 a.m. |
New York (ET) | 3 a.m. |
London | 8 a.m. |
Paris, Berlin (CET) | 9 a.m. |
Sydney (AEDT) | 7 p.m. |
For 13 titles in our calendar, including The Body and The Altruists, the title page lists 8 a.m. UTC, exactly that slot. For Black Doves, The Empress and Fool Night, Netflix hasn’t posted a time, so expect the usual midnight Pacific.
Titles that aren’t Netflix originals in your country appear at 12 a.m. local time instead. In Czechia, for example, The Hunting Wives isn’t labeled an original, and season 1 arrived there at local midnight.
Netflix originals usually launch everywhere at once. Licensed titles don’t, and Netflix notes that some titles are originals in one country but not in another.
Gentle Monster is the clearest example. In this drama starring Léa Seydoux and Catherine Deneuve, concert pianist Lucy begins to suspect her husband after a morning visit from the police. Tudum says it arrives on November 18 only in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
It cuts the other way too. NBC’s St. Denis Medical isn’t on Netflix in Czechia at all. Power should arrive there on November 9 according to Netflix’s title data, although the Czech page still says it isn’t available. For the bigger picture, see how the Netflix library differs by country.
Netflix shows the lineup of the country you’re in, not the one where you pay. Fly from New York to Zurich or Tokyo and your app switches to the local lineup. A VPN from our table lets you connect to a server back home, so Netflix sees you in your home country again. You keep paying for your own subscription.
EU subscribers have it easier: under EU portability rules, Netflix keeps showing your home lineup for a limited time while you travel within the EU. The VPN matters once you leave the EU, for the UK, Switzerland, the US or Asia, or stay abroad longer.
Netflix says that over a VPN or proxy it shows only titles with global rights, so your choice matters: pick a VPN from the table that, according to StreamFix data, currently works with Netflix. Our guide to the Netflix proxy error explains the rest.

A Dog’s Perfect Christmas (Nov 4) comes from the bestselling author of A Dog’s Purpose: a teenage girl, her grandfather and his basset hound try to hold a family in crisis together over Christmas. Dennis Quaid and Milo Ventimiglia star, and Thomas Haden Church voices Winstead the dog.
Guarding Stars (Nov 18) is a holiday rom-com with Leighton Meester and Jared Padalecki about a no-nonsense bodyguard who protects an actor over Christmas while the two pretend to be a couple. Steps (Nov 20) isn’t a Christmas movie, but a Cinderella story works for a family night.
Our tip: start with Black Doves on November 5, save Possible Love for a quiet evening, and keep the weekend of November 21 and 22 for The Altruists and Steps. Before then, Lupin season 4 arrives on October 23. Leaving your home country this month? Set up a VPN before you go.

For movies, look for Possible Love (Nov 6), Heartland (Nov 13), Steps (Nov 20) and The Mosquito Bowl (Nov 25). Our calendar lists 22 titles as of October 19, 2026.
It depends on the week. Nov 2 to 8 brings Bass X Machina, A Dog’s Perfect Christmas, Black Doves and Possible Love; Nov 9 to 15 has The Body, The Empress and Heartland; Nov 16 to 22 has Guarding Stars, The Altruists and Steps; Nov 23 to 30 has The Mosquito Bowl, the Packers vs. Rams game and The Hunting Wives.
Netflix originals are typically released at 12 a.m. Pacific Time. In November that’s 3 a.m. ET, 8 a.m. in London and 9 a.m. in Paris or Berlin. Titles that aren’t originals in your country appear at 12 a.m. local time instead.
For Netflix originals, usually yes, since they tend to launch everywhere on the same day. Gentle Monster comes to both the US and the UK on November 18, together with Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but not to other countries. If you pay for Netflix in Britain, our guide to watching UK streaming services from anywhere helps when you travel.
Yes, two so far: A Dog’s Perfect Christmas on November 4 and Guarding Stars on November 18. We’ll add more holiday titles here as Netflix confirms them.
Either the title isn’t licensed where you are, like Gentle Monster outside the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, or it hasn’t gone live yet in your time zone. If the title is there but your audio language is missing, read why a Netflix language is not available.
Yes. VPNs are legal in most countries, and many people use one every day for privacy and travel. A VPN only changes your virtual location, and you still pay for your own Netflix subscription.
Black Doves season 2 arrives on Netflix on Thursday, November 5, 2026. Here is the likely release time where you live, who is back and who is new in the cast, what the story is about and how to catch up on season 1 first.
The Rings of Power season 3 opens with four episodes on November 11, Muhammad Ali gets his own series and Blade Runner 2099 lands on November 25. Here are the November release dates and the titles that only reach some countries.
Percy Jackson season 3 lands on November 20, All’s Fair and Rivals return in Europe, and Christmas specials start early. Here are 18 November release dates and why 12 of them are US only for now.
