November on Netflix is stacked, and for once the best stuff isn't all action movies. Netflix's November 2026 lineup is full of women-led spy dramas, book adaptations and holiday rom-coms. Here's what's worth your couch time, in date order, so you can plan your evenings around them.
November 4: A Dog's Perfect Christmas
From W. Bruce Cameron, the bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose, comes a holiday drama about a family in crisis. A teenager, her grandfather and his trusty basset hound try to keep the household together at Christmas. What's on Netflix lists Dennis Quaid, Milo Ventimiglia, Mary Steenburgen and Jennifer Tilly in the cast. Keep the tissues close.
November 5: Black Doves, Season 2
Keira Knightley is back as spy Helen, now navigating life as the prime minister's wife. Ben Whishaw's Sam faces a deadly ultimatum, and an attack on Reed (Sarah Lancashire) pulls them into a desperate hunt for answers. Netflix says Ambika Mod and Neve Campbell join the cast this season. If you binged Season 1, clear the weekend.
November 10: Reminders of Him
Colleen Hoover fans, this one's for you. After serving time following the death of her fiancé, a woman tries to reconnect with their daughter and finds solace in her ex's best friend. If you'd rather read it first, grab the paperback.
November 11: The Gospel of Christmas
Tyler Perry wrote and directed this holiday movie about a struggling pastor who moves his family to a troubled New York neighborhood. They have to save a neglected church from foreclosure before Christmas. The cast includes Fantasia Barrino Taylor, Yolanda Adams and CeCe Winans, so expect real gospel firepower.
November 12: The Empress, Season 3
The lavish German period drama returns. With her marriage and the empire facing new hardships, Elisabeth (Devrim Lingnau) is drawn down a path that will change her life and the future of Europe. It's perfect if you're between seasons of your favorite costume drama.
November 13: Heartland
Jessica Chastain plays Misty Jones, a former country legend who returns to Nashville to unravel the truth behind her rising-star niece's disappearance. It's a tense drama with a music-city backdrop. We're in.
November 18: Guarding Stars
This is the holiday rom-com we're most excited about. Leighton Meester plays a no-nonsense bodyguard who heads to a Montana ranch with the famous actor she's protecting, played by Jared Padalecki. Posing as a couple for Christmas soon sparks a real romance. Andie MacDowell co-stars. Also on November 18: Gentle Monster, with Léa Seydoux as a mother whose fresh start in the countryside is shattered by her husband's dark secret.
November 20: Steps
This one's animated, but it's not just for the kids. Ali Wong voices Lilith, Cinderella's "evil" stepsister, who steals the Fairy Godmother's wand and shatters the story as we know it. Amanda Seyfried is Cinderella and Bette Midler is the Fairy Godmother. It's a family movie night with jokes for the grown-ups.
November 26: The Hunting Wives, Season 2
Thanksgiving night just got juicier. At the start of Season 2, Sophie (Brittany Snow) and Margo (Malin Åkerman) are on the outs, until old secrets and new foes force them back together. Save it for after the dishes are done.
Bonus, December 2: In a Holidaze
Maddie Ziegler stars in this holiday time-loop rom-com, adapted from the 2020 novel by Christina Lauren. Rob Lowe is in the cast too. Want the book first? Here's the paperback.
