A selection of what we'll be streaming on Netflix in November 2025

That no-man’s-land between Halloween and Christmas in November is arguably one of the best times for TV and film.

For those who aren’t into horror, they can rejoice at the dying down of everything spooky-themed, but we’re also not yet in the contentious festive period, infamous for dividing households over whether or not to watch the Royle Family Christmas special for the 100th time (always yes!) or tune in for a new addition to the roster.

Netflix certainly seems to agree, stacking up a whole load of new movies and TV shows – plus welcoming back some popular favourites – to keep us busy throughout the month.

Here’s what we’ll be streaming this November…

Squid Game: The Challenge (Streaming now)

Tell me more: Despite initial scepticism, Netflix’s real-gameshow-based-on-a-fictional-gameshow was so much of a success it’s back for a second season with brand new contestants and games.

While the contestants might not be playing to the death as in the dramatised Squid Game, but Netflix has still rounded up the most competitive people they could find to make sure the gameplay isn’t any less ruthless as they battle it out for a life-changing sum of money.

Netflix says: “This time around, the stakes are higher than ever with shocking twists and never-before-played games.

“As players face elimination and deception at every turn, they must ask themselves, ‘Why make friends … when you can make millions?’”

Death By Lightning (Streaming now)

Tell me more:Succession fans will be pleased to see Tom actor Matthew Macfadyen back in top scheming form, this time as historical figure Charles J. Guiteau, who assassinated former US president James A. Garfield.

Michael Shannon stars opposite him as the ill-fated 20th president of the United States, in this new miniseries that shows how Garfield rose to the position from relative obscurity.

Netflix says: “While the setting of the series might be nearly 150 years in the past, Death By Lightning feels incredibly relevant.”

Frankenstein (Streaming now)

Tell me more: Following the recent Nosferatu remake, gothic horror is continuing its revival with Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape Of Water director Guillermo del Toro’s take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Oscar Isaac stars as the titular mad scientist, while Jacob Elordi does a turn as his monstrous creation in a casting duo that has stirred a fair amount of buzz. Horror queen Mia........
