Everything Coming to Netflix in November 2025

As the temperatures drop and the holidays creep closer, Netflix is rolling out an impressive lineup of films, series, specials, and documentaries for November 2025. From long-awaited returns like Stranger Things 5 and Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 to festive favorites and big-screen hits making their streaming debut, this month’s offerings are stacked.

Here’s a look at what’s coming — and what’s leaving — Netflix in November.

Big Premieres and Returning Favorites

Netflix’s biggest event of the month is undoubtedly Stranger Things 5: Volume 1, arriving November 26 at 5pm PT. The final chapter of the Hawkins saga picks up in the fall of 1987, as Eleven and the gang reunite for one last fight against Vecna and the darkness threatening their town — and the world.

Reality fans will also be glued to Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 (November 4), as 456 new contestants battle for a jaw-dropping $4.56 million prize.

Another major return is The Vince Staples Show Season 2 (November 6), alongside Selling the OC Season 4, Delhi Crime Season 3, and The Great British Baking Show: Holidays Season 8.

New Series Worth Watching

Netflix continues its international storytelling streak this month with a strong slate of new originals:

Death by Lightning (Nov. 6) dramatizes the bizarre true story of President James Garfield and his assassin.

The Beast in Me (Nov. 13) stars Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys in a tense psychological thriller about grief and obsession.

As You Stood By (Nov. 7, Korea) and Heweliusz (Nov. 5, Poland) bring international intrigue and emotional drama.

A Man on the Inside: Season 2 (Nov. 20) returns with more undercover twists.

The Crystal Cuckoo (Nov. 14, Spain) follows a young doctor investigating her heart donor’s mysterious past.

Netflix Films: From Horror to Holiday Magic

Netflix’s November movie lineup is a mix of prestige, popcorn, and plenty of holiday cheer.

The most anticipated release? Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (Nov. 7), a dark, emotional reimagining of Mary Shelley’s classic. Other highlights include:

A Merry Little Ex-Mas (Nov. 12) — a festive comedy starring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson.

Champagne Problems (Nov. 19) — a romantic Christmas dramedy set in France.

Train Dreams (Nov. 21) — based on Denis Johnson’s beloved novella.

ONE SHOT with Ed Sheeran (Nov. 21) — an immersive concert film captured in real time.

NOUVELLE VAGUE (Nov. 14) — Richard Linklater’s ode to Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless.

Jingle Bell Heist (Nov. 26) — a stylish holiday caper starring Olivia Holt and Connor Swindells.

And if you’re craving romance or feel-good stories, you’ll find A Royal Date for Christmas, A Sprinkle of Christmas, and Royally Yours, This Christmas dropping mid-month.

Documentaries and Specials

Netflix’s nonfiction lineup this November is equally stacked.

Being Eddie (Nov. 12) celebrates Eddie Murphy’s legendary career, featuring insights from Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jamie Foxx.

Selena y Los Dinos (Nov. 17) offers an intimate look at Selena Quintanilla and her family, complete with never-before-seen footage.

MARINES (Nov. 10) gives rare access to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.

The Carman Family Deaths (Nov. 19) delves into a shocking true crime saga.

The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo (Nov. 28) revisits one of the most iconic images of the Vietnam War.

Stand-up fans can catch Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable Things (Nov. 4) and Gerry Dee: Funny You Should Say That (Nov. 18).

For the Family

Netflix hasn’t forgotten the kids. November brings several animated and family-friendly titles:

Dr. Seuss’s The Sneetches (Nov. 3) — a heartwarming new musical special.

The Bad Guys: Breaking In (Nov. 6) — a prequel to the hit film series.

Sesame Street: Volume 1 (Nov. 10) — a reimagined spin on the beloved classic.

In Your Dreams (Nov. 14) — a whimsical animated adventure.

Gabby’s Dollhouse: Season 12 (Nov. 17).

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory: Season 4 (Nov. 20).

Blockbusters Arriving (and Leaving)

Several major studio films hit Netflix on November 1, including Baby Driver, Elvis, Tenet, Ocean’s 8, Judas and the Black Messiah, and all three Back to the Future films.

Later in the month, DC fans can stream Blue Beetle (Nov. 17) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (Nov. 27).

However, it’s also time to say goodbye to some favorites. Leaving November 1 are Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Happy Gilmore, The Fast & Furious franchise, and all four Shrek movies. A Star Is Born departs November 8, and Mamma Mia! sings its last note on November 16.

November 2025 is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s biggest months of the year — anchored by the return of Stranger Things, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and a sleigh-full of new holiday originals. Whether you’re in the mood for nostalgia, scares, romance, or high-stakes reality competition, Netflix’s November lineup delivers.

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a complex and surreal film directed by David Lynch, known for its non-linear narrative and dreamlike sequences. The ending is open to interpretation and has been the subject of much debate among viewers. Here's a breakdown of the ending: Diane's Dream vs. Reality: Throughout the film, there are two main narrative threads: one follows Betty/Diane's dreamlike experiences in Hollywood, and the other delves into Diane's harsh reality. The ending reveals that the majority of the film has been a dream constructed by Diane Selwyn, a failed actress, as a means to escape the guilt and pain of her actions. Betty/Diane's Descent into Madness: Betty, played by Naomi Watts, represents Diane's idealized self—a hopeful and innocent aspiring actress. However, as the film progresses, it becomes clear that Betty's story is unraveling, and her identity begins to merge with Diane's. This culminates in the revelation that Betty is merely a construct of Di...

LOCKED Release Info

LOCKED follows Eddie (Bill SkarsgÄrd), a desperate man who breaks into a seemingly empty luxury SUV, only to find himself ensnared in a meticulously crafted trap. His captor? William (Anthony Hopkins), a vigilante with a twisted sense of justice. What starts as a simple break-in quickly spirals into a nightmare, as Eddie struggles to escape a vehicle designed to be his prison. With no way out and an unseen force pulling the strings, survival becomes a race against time in a ride where justice is anything but blind. This 95-minute thrill ride promises to keep audiences on edge by blending elements of survival horror and psychological warfare. Its confined setting turns an everyday luxury vehicle into an inescapable nightmare, and the ride explores themes of morality, punishment, and the true cost of justice. Only in Theaters on March 21.
