Best New Shows and Movies Coming to Netflix This Week
Misty Green (2026)
Coming to Netflix: Monday, November 9th
Just a month after it landed in theaters, Chris Rock’s A24 Hollywood dramedy is already heading to Netflix. Rock writes, directs and stars alongside Rosalind Eleazar, who plays a once-promising actress trying to get her life back on track, with Rock as a director from her past who offers her a route back in. With Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya and Anna Kendrick rounding out a stacked cast. Ordinarily, Misty Green would go to HBO Max under a first window deal with A24, but given one of the producers has just jumped over to be head of content for Netflix, it’s landing on the streamer in most regions instead.
The Body (Season 1) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Wednesday, November 11th
Created by Quinn Shephard, this gritty, Y2K-inspired teen psychodrama is shaping up to be one of the month’s buzziest new series. When a Catholic high school dance team’s Halloween initiation ritual goes horribly wrong, the girls start experiencing prophetic visions that spark mass hysteria across their town. Think Yellowjackets meets The Craft, with a hefty dose of early-2000s nostalgia. Netflix is pushing this heavily so we’re expecting great things.
Allen (2026) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Thursday, November 12th
Ludo Studio, the Emmy and BAFTA-winning Australian outfit behind Bluey, makes its live-action feature debut with this oddball sci-fi family comedy. T.J. Power plays Petey, a Queensland man who never got over the alien best friend who vanished without a goodbye 20 years ago. Now Allen is back, but he’s brought a world-ending secret with him. Created by Daley Pearson, who co-directs with Jeffrey Walker, and also starring Josh Helman and Charlotte Nicdao. If the trailer gave you Paul/E.T. vibes, you’re not alone.
The Empress (Season 3) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Thursday, November 12th
The reign of Empress Elisabeth comes to an end with the third and final season of Netflix’s hit German period drama The Empress. After the devastating Sardinian War, Franz (Philip Froissant) returns a traumatized man, leaving the imperial marriage on thin ice, while Elisabeth (Devrim Lingnau) is drawn into a fateful acquaintance with Count Andrássy (Dejan Bućin). Six episodes, one impossible choice: follow her heart, or remain a sincere empress to her people.
Heartland (2026) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Friday, November 13th
Jessica Chastain leads this dark mystery thriller as Misty Jones, a former country music megastar who’s been hiding away from the world for decades. When her niece goes missing, she’s forced back into the spotlight and down into the seedy, dangerous underbelly of Nashville to find her. Garrett Hedlund and Ross Lynch co-star in what looks set to be your go-to Friday night watch in Heartland.
