- Netflix is adding a ton of content to its streaming service in November, but these are the best new movies and shows we think you should add to your queue this month.
- The biggest release of the month is The Crown season 4, which stars Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II, Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, and Emma Corrin as Lady Diana.
- The Christmas Chronicles — a hit in 2018 — is getting a sequel which brings back Kurt Russell as Santa.
When we first saw the list of new releases on Netflix for November, we were underwhelmed. There simply aren’t many “brand name” originals returning this month, other than The Crown, which makes for a pretty quiet month. That said, there could be some diamonds in the rough here, as the surprisingly sweet and fun holiday flick, The Christmas Chronicles, is getting a sequel. Plus, Great Pretender is one of the better anime series Netflix has ever had, and you have plenty of time to catch up on the first season before more episodes drop this month.
In chronological order, here are the top ten movies and shows coming to Netflix in the month of November:
- Dawson’s Creek: Seasons 1-6 | November 1st
- Easy A | November 1st
