New Netflix Shows and Movies in November 2025

Once upon a time, a long time ago in the year 2022, the fourth season of a Netflix series called Stranger Things captured the world's attention. Now Netflix is bringing the series out of cryostasis to wrap things up for its fifth and final season, nine years after it first premiered and about eight years too late to stave off puberty for its young stars. Stranger Things is clearly the biggest new release coming to Netflix in November, but the rest of the slate is looking pretty enticing, too. 

A pair of new originals make their debut: Death by Lightning, a historical drama detailing the shooting of U.S. president James A. Garfield, starring Matthew Macfadyen and Michael Shannon (it's more fun than it sounds); and The Beast in Me, a thriller starring Claire Danes as a novelist who becomes entangled with her new neighbor (Matthew Rhys), a conceited real estate mogul suspected of killing his previous wife. And Netflix's Oscar season officially begins with the release of Train Dreams, a Sundance darling that's bound to snag a few nominations at the Academy Awards.

Here are the shows and movies coming to Netflix in November — as well as what's leaving.

The best new Netflix movies and shows in November

Death by Lightning (Nov. 6)

Following last year's Lincoln assassination drama Manhunt on Apple TV, Netflix is launching its own limited series about a presidential assassination. In Death by Lightning, the president at the center of the action is James A. Garfield (Michael Shannon), whose time in office was cut short when he was shot by Charles J. Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen). The cast also includes Nick Offerman as Garfield's vice president and successor, Chester A. Arthur; Betty Gilpin as Garfield's wife; Bradley Whitford as his secretary of state; and Shea Whigham as a senator who clashed with him. The facial hair on this show is going to be magnificent. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Frankenstein (Nov. 7)

Visionary director Guillermo del Toro has offered his take on many stories — Pinocchio, Hellboy, horny amphibious men — and he returns to Netflix to retell Mary Shelley's horror classic about a scientist (Oscar Isaac) who makes a monster (Jacob Elordi) from a mishmash of human body parts. Sorry, fans of Elordi's chiseled mug: The Australian heartthrob is disguised under layers of makeup. [Trailer]

The Beast in Me (Nov. 13)

Jodie Foster (!) and Conan O'Brien (?!) produce The Beast in Me, a limited series about Aggie Wiggs (Claire Danes), a beloved author who retreated from public life after the death of her son. When real estate mogul Nile Jarvis (Matthew Rhys), who was at one point the lead suspect in his wife's disappearance, buys the home next door to Aggie, she's sent spiraling down an obsessive path as she searches for the truth. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

A Man on the Inside Season 2 (Nov. 20)

Hold on: a TV show that is releasing a new season a year after the previous season was released? In this day and age?!?! That's worth being thankful for. (Lookin' at you, Stranger Things!) Season 2 of Michael Schur's comedy — which was adapted from the documentary The Mole Agent — moves Ted Danson's Charles away from solving crimes at a retirement community to solving crimes at a college. As he's trying to find out who's blackmailing the school's president (new cast member Max Greenfield), Charles gets the hots for the free-spirited music teacher Mona, who is played by Danson's real-life wife, Mary Steenburgen. Aww! 

Train Dreams (Nov. 21)

The critics have spoken: They love Train Dreams, Clint Bentley's epic-yet-intimate adaptation of Denis Johnson's 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction finalist. The film stars Joel Edgerton as a railroad worker in the early 20th century, and follows his life from isolation to fatherhood and back to isolation again when tragedy strikes. It's being hailed as one of the best films of the year, and will certainly have some Oscar buzz. [Trailer]

Stranger Things Season 5: Volume 1 (Nov. 26)

It's the beginning of the end. The fifth and final season of Stranger Things premieres in three parts: four episodes on Nov. 26, three on Christmas, and the series finale on New Year's Eve. It's been more than three years since Season 4 premiered, and Season 5 picks up a year after the events of the fourth season. It's the fall of 1987, and Hawkins is in a precarious state after the opening of the rifts. As the government locks down the town and hunts for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), she's forced into hiding — but she and her friends will have to join forces if they want to take down Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). To put it simply, whatever plan the Hawkins crew comes up with to fight the forces of the Upside Down has to work. -Kat Moon [Teaser] [Everything to know about Stranger Things Season 5]
