It’s been scientifically proven that there is no better time of year than this one to get cozy in front of the TV and watch a really good show. Luckily, November has plenty of options for you, including returning favorites like Julian Fellowes’ fizzy period drama The Gilded Age, last season’s best new network comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, and the fantasy series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. New shows this month include the Rose Byrne-Meghann Fahy limited series The Good Daughter; the Amy Poehler comedy Dig; and the latest addition to the Blade Runner franchise, Blade Runner 2099. There’s a little something for everyone.
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

The Gilded Age Season 4 (Nov. 1, HBO)
That sound you just heard? It wasn’t a gust of wind, but rather a lofty sigh from Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon). Yes, The Gilded Age is finally back for Season 4, with all of its scandalous 19th century drama in tow. While the future of Bertha’s marriage to George “Train Daddy” Russell (Morgan Spector) remains uncertain after she essentially sold off their daughter to a duke, Peggy (Denée Benton) is facing some threats to her own happy ending as she struggles to adapt to her new life among the Kirkland family. And what will become of Jack (Ben Ahlers), the clock twink of New York? This is the only show on TV where you’ll get to watch Christine Baranski and Cynthia Nixon fret over a very important dinner at their mansion while Audra McDonald and Phylicia Rashad trade measured barbs at a different mansion. The stakes couldn’t be lower in high society, and we’re so lucky to get to witness it. – Allison Picurro [Trailer]
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins Season 2 (Nov. 2, NBC)
Please rise for last season’s best new network comedy. Created by 30 Rock alums Robert Carlock and Sam Means, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is a winner about a pair of guys who can’t win: disgraced former NFL player Reggie Dinkins (Tracy Morgan) and disgraced director Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe), who are working together on a documentary they hope will rebuild both of their careers. Season 1 ended with Reggie earning a few Hall of Fame votes — not enough to get in, but more than he expected — as his agent and ex-wife, Monica (the great Erika Alexander), impressed a major potential client, a college running back with the excellent name of Slacks Madison. Real football is stressful; let Reggie Dinkins distract you with fictional athletes’ funny problems. – Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 (Nov. 11, Prime Video)
In Season 3 of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, all forces of good must unite against the Dark Lord, aka Sauron (Charlie Vickers). He is starting to forge the One Ring to Rule Them All, but that won’t be made easy by Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova), and the humans, dwarves, and Harfoots we’ve come to known in the show’s first two seasons. This upcoming chapter also introduces Jamie Campbell Bower, best known for portraying Vecna in Stranger Things, as Galadriel’s husband, Celeborn. – Kat Moon [Trailer] [Everything to know about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3]
The Good Daughter (Nov. 12, Peacock)
Rose Byrne: good. Meghann Fahy: good. In The Good Daughter, Byrne and Fahy play sisters still reeling from a violent event deep in their pasts. That trauma comes to the surface in the present when another crime rocks their small town, and Fahy’s Charlotte, now a lawyer, investigates. Created by Karin Slaughter and based on her novel of the same name, The Good Daughter boasts a very good cast that also includes Brendan Gleeson, Harper Steele, Paula Malcomson, Jake McDorman, Michael Dorman, and Olivia Williams. – Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
Dig (Nov. 23, Peacock)
It’s no Pawnee, but can Amy Poehler and Michael Schur interest you in a trip to the Mediterranean? Poehler and Schur’s first collaboration since Parks and Recreation is Dig, a new comedy the pair co-created about archaeologists who stumble on an international conspiracy while working at an excavation site in Greece. Fun! Poehler stars as the lead archaeologist, alongside Geraldine Viswanathan, Antonia Thomas, and Fina Strazza as her fellow archaeologists and Hugh Laurie as a professor. Dig is based on the 2023 novel Excavations by Kate Myers, who’s on board as an executive producer. – Kelly Connolly
Blade Runner 2099 (Nov. 25, Prime Video)
If there’s one job — and pop culture franchise — that rampantly out-of-control AI won’t eliminate, it’s Blade Runner. The new Prime Video cyberpunk series Blade Runner 2099 is set 50 years after Denis Villeneuve’s 2017 film Blade Runner 2049 and stars Michelle Yeoh as an aging Replicant Blade Runner tasked with hunting down a rogue group of human-like bots. Her new partner, Cora, played by Euphoria‘s Hunter Schafer, is hiding a secret: She’s a fugitive human masquerading as a Replicant. Let’s hope she can pretend she’s not fond of tortoises. – Tim Surette [Teaser]
The Hunting Wives Season 2 (Nov. 26, Netflix)
Netflix’s sapphic crime drama set in the alluring and murderous world of glamorous East Texas socialites was a huge hit for Netflix because, well, did you read that description at the beginning of this sentence? Season 2 promises more of the same, with Sophie (Brittany Snow) and Margo (Malin Åkerman) reuniting against new foes, which means breaking laws and mattresses. The streamer is promoting the season with the double entendre tagline of “someone is going down,” because there’s no point in disguising what this show is all about. – Tim Surette [Trailer]

Netflix’s best new shows and movies in November
Christmas is coming early to Netflix this year, and I’m not just talking about the blizzard of holiday movies hitting the streamer in November (there’s a movie coming called Rodeo Christmas Romance, which is basically a Hallmark Christmas movie word cloud come to life). The month sees several interesting releases heading your way from all types of genres, from an awkward fraudster romance limited series to a supernatural thriller about a Catholic high school dance team to a bisexual Texas women crime story (that’s The Altruists, the new series The Body, and The Hunting Wives Season 2, in that order). Also coming are new seasons of the charming Inuit comedy North of North and the spy thriller Black Doves, as well as the Netflix original film The Mosquito Bowl, which stars Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, and Ray Nicholson as college football stars who enlist in the Marines during World War II. And for those who missed it in theaters or on Peacock, Curry Barker‘s box office hit Obsession comes to Netflix on Nov. 17. 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
One of the crown jewels in the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Skydance is undoubtedly HBO, but since the merger was completed in early October, HBO has been pretty quiet. Last month’s trickle of interesting new releases continues in November, with the month’s big new debut being Season 4 of Julian Fellowes’ period drama The Gilded Age. But it should be a good one, with plenty of lingering threads to tie up following a tremendous Season 3 finale. Also coming in the month are the streaming premiere of A24’s Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony and Season 2 of the Brazilian drama series City of God: The Fight Rages On. 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
November is a bit of a mixed bag on Hulu, but it’s like the old adage goes: At least there’s a new season of All’s Fair. Despite (or more likely thanks to) all the bad reviews, Ryan Murphy’s reviled show about a group of high-powered female divorce attorneys is returning for its second season this month. It may not be the TV show we want, but it’s probably the only TV show we deserve. Elsewhere, the first Secret Wives of Mormon Wives spin-off comes to Hulu this month: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. Also, the second part of the second season of the British period dramedy Rivals debuts. On the movies end, you can catch Reacher himself, Alan Ritchson, and Owen Wilson in the action comedy Runner. 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
If you’re a fan of Prime Video’s TV extensions of popular sci-fi and fantasy movie universes that were originally based on books, congratulations! November is going to be huge for you. The flashiest title in the streamer’s November lineup is Blade Runner 2099, a new take on Blade Runner’s dystopian cyberpunk future that’s set 50 years after Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer star as an unlikely pair: a Replicant Blade Runner in her final days (Yeoh) and a human pretending to be a Replicant (Schafer). The series premieres on Nov. 25. Plus, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power returns for Season 3 on Nov. 11. Most of the month’s other big debuts are sportier, including The Greatest, a limited series about Muhammad Ali; Terrell & T.O., a documentary about Terrell Owens; and Madden, a movie about John Madden (as played by Nicolas Cage!). But the streamer wraps up November on a different note with the Sam Bankman-Fried docuseries The Boy Who Stole Billions? That one is for fans of crypto frauds and titles with question marks in them. 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
This month, Peacock’s digging into a new Amy Poehler comedy series. Poehler reunites with Parks and Recreation creator Michael Schur for Dig, which drops on Nov. 23 and follows a team of passionate archaeologists who unearth a rare artifact. For a completely different vibe, the limited thriller series The Good Daughter, which stars Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy as a pair of estranged sisters brought back together when tragedy strikes their hometown, premieres Nov. 12. Both shows drop all their episodes at once. On the movies end, you can check out Andrew Garfield’s historical drama The Uprising on Nov. 6. Here’s our list of everything coming to Peacock in November.

Paramount+’s new shows and movies in November
After a busy month of CBS premieres in October, Paramount+ is quieter in November. Well, quieter except for all the buzz over the final season of Showtime’s Yellowjackets. The drama returns for Season 4 to wrap up the story of teen girls stranded in the wilderness resorting to primal behavior in order to survive, while also flashing forward more than 20 years in the future to follow the survivors in the present. In the final season, we’ll finally see the teens rescued and back at home, too. The options are looking pretty thin after that, with the British comedy It Gets Worse, the live concert special The JLo Show, and a pair of documentaries — The Jigsaw Puzzle Murder and He Said, She Said: Till Death Do Us Part — as the highlights. Here’s our list of everything coming to Paramount+ in November.
