The Ultimate Guide to What to Watch on HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Prime Video, and More in November 2022

Thanksgiving break is either terrible or great, there's no in between. Either you're sleeping on an airport bench while your flight is perpetually canceled, trudging through feet of snow with a green bean casserole in your arms, or you're listening to your in-laws talk about that annoying squirrel in their yard that's eating all the birdseed out of the bird feeder, OR you're blissfully relaxed on your couch with the warm glow of the television giving you millions of reasons to be thankful. Hopefully you're in the latter group, because November has a ton of great things to watch, including Netflix's mind-bending mystery 1899, Hulu's dramedy Fleishman Is in Trouble, and HBO Max's comedy The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Our guide to the best TV in November is divided into three sections: the best shows and movies to watch in the month, the best shows to watch by streaming service, and a calendar of TV highlights. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it below. And if you're already in a festive mood, check out the Hallmark Christmas movie calendar and the Lifetime Christmas movie calendar, both of which get into full swing this month, or our ultimate guide to all the holiday films and specials coming this winter, our list of the best Christmas movies to watch and where to watch them, or our guide to the best new Christmas movies out this year.

The best movies and shows to watch in November

The Crown Season 5 (Nov. 9, Netflix)

The Emmy-winning dramatization of the life of Queen Elizabeth II returns, more timely than ever. The second-to-last season features a complete cast turnover from Season 4, with Imelda Staunton taking over the role from Olivia Colman, who herself inherited it from Claire Foy. Elizabeth Debicki plays Princess Diana, and Dominic West plays Prince Charles. This season is set in the 1990s, as Diana and Charles' marriage breaks down. Brace yourself for discourse. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

The English (Nov. 11, Prime Video)

Emily Blunt gets in on the Western craze with this series that Prime Video describes as a "chase Western," which I assume means there are lots of chases in it. Blunt plays an English aristocrat who finds herself teaming up with (and falling for?) a Pawnee scout as their missions of revenge intertwine. This one looks to be more stylish than the cowboy dad shows that have come out recently, with violence offsetting the dark humor and gorgeous vistas. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Mythic Quest Season 3 (Nov. 11, Apple TV+)

One of Apple TV+'s best comedies is taking the battle to the workplace in Season 3. Now that Ian (Rob McElhenney) and Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao) have left Mythic Quest to try their luck at GrimPop Studios, the stage is set for an all-out office rivalry between their new company and their old one. F. Murray Abraham has left the series (find him on The White Lotus!), but the shenanigans continue. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]   

Yellowstone Season 5 (Nov. 13, Paramount Network)

America's favorite Western returns for its fifth season, and the drama is sure to be as extravagant as ever. Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) has her miserable brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) under her thumb after blackmailing him into killing his biological father (Will Patton). John Dutton (Kevin Costner) effs around and becomes the governor of Montana. And most urgently, we'll find out what Kayce (Luke Grimes) meant when he told his wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille) "I saw the end of us" after he finished his vision quest. The things the Duttons do to hold on to that ranch. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Fleishman Is in Trouble (Nov. 17, Hulu)

In this FX-produced Hulu show (can't we just call it a Hulu show?), Jesse Eisenberg plays a 41-year-old recently divorced dad who ventures into the world of online dating with much success of sex excess, but finds it hard to move on when his ex-wife (Claire Danes) goes missing, leaving him to parent his two children alone. Taffy Brodesser-Akner adapts her novel for the series, which looks at aging, divorce, and the unpredictability of life. Lizzy Caplan, Adam Brody, and Josh Radnor round out an impressive and likable cast. –Tim Surette [Trailer]

1899 (Nov. 17, Netflix)

This isn't a prequel to Yellowstone; it's an expensive but efficient supernatural mystery series set on board a steamship carrying European migrants from London to New York City. After it makes contact with another seemingly lost ship at sea, things get really weird. The show features a sprawling international cast meant to give it global appeal — the "original languages" section on Wikipedia lists eight different tongues — with Into the Badlands' Emily Beecham the top-billed performer. Its country of origin is Germany, and it was created by Dark's Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar. If it's anything like Dark, it will be a disorienting, mind-expanding head-trip of a show. Get on board now, because it's going to be big. –Liam Mathews [Trailer]

The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 2 (Nov. 17, HBO Max)

We're living in a great time for Mindy Kaling shows about girls who go to school. Netflix has the high school series Never Have I Ever and HBO Max has The Sex Lives of College Girls, which is returning for its second season. It picks up not long after Season 1 ended, with the foursome of Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Bela (Amrit Kaur), Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott), and Leighton (Reneé Rapp) continuing to navigate their way through new relationships, financial issues, and how to set up a charitable strip show. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Disenchanted (Nov. 18, Disney+) 

The long-in-the-works sequel to the 2007 fantasy romantic comedy Enchanted is finally here, with Amy Adams returning to the role of Giselle. Set 10 years after the original, the sequel finds Giselle and her husband Robert (Patrick Dempsey) leaving New York City for the suburbs, where their fairy tale life gets disrupted by their fixer-upper house, a scheming neighbor played by Maya Rudolph, and tensions with their teenage daughter, Morgan (Gabriella Baldacchino). Giselle casts a spell to make everything perfect, and it only makes things worse. She has until midnight to fix it. Disney+ had great success with Hocus Pocus 2, another straight-to-streaming sequel to a hit movie from long ago, and this one has the potential to be even bigger. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Welcome to Chippendales (Nov. 22, Hulu)

November is best known as turkey month, but Hulu is bringing the beef. This Boogie Nights-esque drama series stars Kumail Nanjiani as the Indian immigrant who birthed Chippendales, the once extremely popular strip club for women that thrived in the 1980s. But as the club began to expand and the brand began to bulge, drama between business partners broke out. Murray Bartlett, Dan Stevens, and Juliette Lewis also star. -Tim Surette [Trailer]     

What's on Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, and more in November

Hulu's best new shows and movies in November

Some spaces on the web promote the idea of self-imposed abstinence during the month of November, but Hulu's sexed-up lineup for the month will try to bring them back to the dark side. Hulu's November kicks off with the scandalous affairs behind religious leader/hypocritical sex maniac Jerry Falwell Jr.'s downfall in the documentary film God Forbid: The Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty, take a turn to a divorced man exploring carnal delights via dating apps while his life falls apart in Fleishman Is in Trouble, and continue with the greased-up torsos of male strippers in the true crime limited series Welcome to Chippendales. If it's in our picks, it's something you won't want to watch with your parents (unless you are a Targaryen). Here's our list of the best shows and movies on Hulu in November, plus everything coming to Hulu in November
