21. Playdate

Craving an action comedy that looks totally bonkers? Then check out Kevin James’ Playdate. Here he plays a stay-at-home stepdad, eager to connect to his boy. But an average day in the park turns wild when they meet a father-and-son team that will change their lives forever. One playdate pulls them all into a swirl of car chases, fight sequences, and uncomfortable conversations.

While trailers look goofy, the reviews are brutal. So mindless fun, maybe! Or maybe just mindless. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Kevin James, Alan Ritchson, Sarah Chalke, Alan Tudyk, Stephen Root, and Isla Fisher

How to watch: Playdate debuts on Prime Video on Nov. 12.

20. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Season 3

In the mood for some #MomTok mess? Then you’re in luck, because The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is back for what’s bound to be an extra juicy third season. The biggest story to look out for is that of Taylor Frankie Paul, who will be the next star of the Bachelorette franchise. Expect the series to dive into her final breakup with ex Dakota Mortensen, along with more chaos involving alleged affairs, lie detector tests, and more. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

How to watch: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 debuts on Hulu on Nov. 13.

19. Roofman

Starring Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst, this crime-centered romantic comedy might seem like a feel-good movie. But you should probably know it comes from Blue Valentine writer/director Derek Cianfrance.

Roofman is based on the true story of a serial cat burglar who used an alias to befriend a single mom and her church friends while on the run from a heist gone wrong. So, naturally, he squats in a toy store. The resulting film is pretty confounding. As I wrote in my review, “Roofman is a frustrating watch, refusing to fit into the genre expectations. But that might be precisely the point.” — K.P.

Starring: Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Peter Dinklage, Ben Mendelsohn, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, and Jimmy O. Yang

How to watch: Roofman is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

18. Malice

Jack Whitehall usually plays comedic characters, but in Prime Video’s Malice, he’s got a chilling dark side. We meet yet another affluent family on screen, the Tanners, headed up by Jamie and Nat (David Duchovny and Carice van Houten). They’re joined on vacation in their opulent villa by friends Jules and Damien (Christine Adams and Raza Jaffrey), who decide to bring along their kids’ tutor Adam (Whitehall) — and it’s the new addition who ruffles a few feathers. But Adam’s got secrets up the wazoo, with no intention of keeping them to himself. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor

Starring: Jack Whitehall, David Duchovny, Carice van Houten, and Gloria Garcia

How to watch: Malice begins streaming on Prime Video on Nov. 14.

17. Selling the OC, Season 4

Moving drama and epic genre productions are all very well and good, but sometimes you just want to watch people arguing in nice houses.

Selling the OC always delivers in this regard. Following a group of agents working for the Oppenheim Group in the Orange County office, the Selling Sunset spin-off is possibly even more dramatic than the original. Season 4 looks like it’ll be more of the same, only with a few familiar faces from Season 3 gone and three new agents introduced to the mix. Let the gossiping commence! — Sam Haysom, Deputy UK Editor

How to watch: Selling the OC Season 4 debuts on Netflix on Nov. 12.

16. Nobody 2

In 2021, Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk became an action hero in Nobody, a dark comedy about a former assassin turned office worker who falls back into that violent life — whether he likes it or not. Well, one good turn (at the box office) deserves another, so Odenkirk is reprising his role as Hutch Mansell, former contract killer.

Much of the old gang is back, including Connie Nielsen as Hutch’s wife, Becca, and RZA as his brother, Harry. New to the team is The Shadow Strays director Timo Tjahjanto, who’s taken up the helm. Anticipate action that is jaw-dropping, if not downright jaw-breaking.* — K.P.

Starring: Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, RZA, Christopher Lloyd, Sharon Stone, Colin Hanks, and John Ortiz

How to watch: Nobody 2 debuts on Peacock on Nov. 14.

15. Madame Web

Madame Web took a lot of heat in 2024, as it proved to be a spectacular flop (ahead of the even bigger Spider-verse bomb that was Kraven the Hunter.) Dakota Johnson starred as a paramedic turned superhero/mentor for three super-powered spidey teens on the run from a barefooted villain. And yeah, it was a confounding movie. But hey, there were some parts of Madame Web that were pretty hilarious.

Hear me out:

And hey, at least it was better than Morbius. — K.P.

Starring: Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott

How to watch: Madame Web debuts on Disney+ on Nov. 14.

14. Eddington

Writer/director Ari Aster had horror fans screaming with Hereditary and Midsommar. However, his latest, a Western called Eddington, had critics divided over its critiques of COVID-19 politics.

Aster reteams with Beau Is Afraid leading man Joaquin Phoenix, who plays a sheriff who hates masking almost has much as he does Eddington’s beloved mayor, played by Pedro Pascal. The two men will face off over all sorts of issues, sucking other townsfolk into their drama. While this leads to an explosive climax, it’s far from satisfying or thrilling. As I wrote in my review, “Eddington is a cynical dark comedy that mistakes empathy for weakness, offering plenty to react to but little to provoke thought.” — K.P.

Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Austin Butler, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Cameron Mann, Matt Gomez Hidaka, and Amélie Hoeferle

How to watch: Eddington begins streaming on HBO Max on Nov. 14.

13. Last Samurai Standing

We apparently can’t get enough of the battle royale in pop culture, as Netflix’s new series sees warriors fighting to the death in 19th-century Japan. Directed by Michihito Fujii, Kento Yamaguchi, and Toru Yamamoto, Last Samurai Standing presents exactly that. It’s the story of swordsman Shujiro Saga (Junichi Okada), who competes in a bloodbath competition against 291 other samurai starting at Kyoto’s Tenryu-ji temple — and there can be only one winner. It’s basically a murderous game of tag night after night, where players must steal the wooden tags of their opponents and reach Tokyo to win 100 billion yen. Expect epic fight scenes, plenty of swordplay, and a hero who just won’t quit. — S.C.

Starring: Junichi Okada, Yumia Fujisaki, and Kaya Kiyohara

How to watch: Last Samurai Standing debuts on Netflix Nov. 13.

12. Are We Good?

After 16 years and about 1,700 episodes, Marc Maron ended his podcast WTF with Marc Maron with final guest Barack Obama in October. But it’s not the only milestone for the comedian this year, with the release of documentary Are We Good?, which follows Maron through a deeply challenging time.

As Siddhant Adlakha writes for Mashable, “An uneven chronicle of grief, Steven Feinartz’s Are We Good? follows comedian and podcast host Marc Maron during and after the isolation of COVID lockdown, during which he lost his partner, the filmmaker Lynn Shelton. It’s a documentary of immense detail and a vast number of opinions on Maron’s personality, and how he deals with loss through stand-up comedy. However, this context pales in comparison to his actual art and artistic process — the brief glimpses of which are more enticing than the film surrounding it.” — S.C.

Starring: Marc Maron, Nate Bargatze, John Mulaney, David Cross, W. Kamau Bell, Laurie Kilmartin, Brendan McDonald, Sam Lipsyte, Caroline Rhea, Michaela Watkins, Jessica Kirson, and Gary Gulman

How to watch: Are We Good? is available for pre-order on Apple TV. It will be available to rent on Nov. 14.

11. Kiss of the Spider Woman

A tale of love, rebellion, and cinema, Kiss of the Spider Woman is tricky to explain but easy to fall for. Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) adapts the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical about a political prisoner who is sucked into the storytelling of a cellmate, who is utterly obsessed with a musical called Kiss of the Spider Woman. Held captive in squalid conditions, the two prisoners named Valentin and Molina (Diego Luna and Tonatiuh) share stories about their lives, but also talk about this (fictional) movie and its ravishing leading lady, Ingrid Luna (Jennifer Lopez). Contrasting their horrid circumstances with the glamor of Hollywood movies, the film explores how art can shape its audience, inspiring both Valentina and Molina to bold moves, like falling in love in a hopeless place and fighting for a better tomorrow.

While critics have been mixed on Condon’s take on the material, most have cheered the lead performances. In his review out of Sundance, Siddhant Adlakha wrote, “Lopez’s Luna is a dazzling presence… Tonatiuh is just as impressive as Lopez,” but noted, “Their attempts to imbue their character with a sense of physical struggle, within four walls inching ever closer, is often undone by a haphazard edit.” — K.P.

Starring: Diego Luna, Tonatiuh, and Jennifer Lopez

How to watch: Kiss of the Spider Woman is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

10. Palm Royale, Season 2

In Palm Royale‘s first season, Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons (Kristen Wiig) infiltrated the high society of Palm Beach, Florida, barely surviving the scandal. Enemies were cemented, affairs exposed, secrets unveiled, Ricky Martins placed in peril. But it’s a new season at the titular Palm Royale country club, and the snobbery, backstabbing, and luxurious costuming lives on. And with a new season comes famous arrivals, with none other than Patti LuPone and John Stamos joining the chaos. — S.C.

Starring: Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, and Carol Burnett

How to watch: Palm Royale Season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV.

9. The Seduction

HBO brings viewers into a world of dangerous decadence in The Seduction, a French series from Jessica Palud. A loose prequel to Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, The Seduction tells the story of the rise of Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, along with that of her eventual rival, Vicomte Sébastien de Valmont.

Taking its title seriously, The Seduction is all about the weaponization of desire, as Isabelle goes from ingénue to skilled manipulator of men. Full of backstabbing, social maneuvering, and sex, The Seduction is a sumptuous treat. — B.E.

Starring: Noée Abita, Diane Kruger, Anamaria Vartolomei, Lucas Bravo, and Vincent Lacoste

How to watch: The Seduction debuts on HBO Max on Nov. 14.

8. Freakier Friday

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return for the fun sequel to 2003’s hit body-swapping comedy Freaky Friday. Reprising their roles as mother and daughter, they double the zany shenanigans by swapping into the teen bodies of two soon-to-be-stepsisters. See, Anna (Lohan) is poised to marry a hot and loving chef (Manny Jacinto), giving her daughter Harper (Julia Butters) a stepsister (Sophia Hammons). But the two girls loathe each other.

So, while body-swapped Anna and Tess (Curtis) race to undo this magical mayhem, the girls — in the bodies of Anna and Tess — set about to derail the wedding before it can happen. Along the way, there will be silliness, nostalgia, and swoon-worthy moments involving Jacinto and Freaky Friday‘s hunk Chad Michael Murray. —K.P.

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Chad Michael Murray, and Mark Harmon

How to watch: Freakier Friday is now streaming on Disney+.

7. The Beast in Me

Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys square off in this twisty Netflix miniseries. Danes plays Pulitzer Prize–winning author Aggie Wiggs, who finds herself locked in a strange game with her new neighbor, Nile Jarvis (Rhys). He’s the scion of a wealthy family, a real estate mogul… and he may have murdered his wife. Now, Aggie’s on the hunt for the truth, but the mind of an (alleged) killer proves a dangerous one to crack.

The Beast in Me offers up thrills aplenty, but it’s the interplay between Danes and Rhys that really makes it soar. Danes shines as a woman spiraling through grief, while Rhys is the perfect amount of despicable and intriguing. They make a damn fine cat and mouse pairing, and The Beast in Me is all the better for it. — B.E.

Starring: Claire Danes, Matthew Rhys, Brittany Snow, and Natalie Morales

How to watch: The Beast in Me premieres on Netflix on Nov. 13.

6. Great Performances: Twelfth Night

A grand tradition of New York theater is coming to streaming, as PBS brings a recorded performance of this year’s Shakespeare in the Park to audiences nationwide.

William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night tells the tale of a pair of shipwrecked siblings who, after being separated by fate, find new friends, lovers, and many comic misunderstandings in Illyria. Fittingly, Lupita Nyong’o and her brother Junior Nyong’o star. The Academy Award–winning ingenue plays Viola, a young maiden who poses as a young man named Cesario to make her way in this brave new world. Little might she expect to fall for a duke and accidentally woo his crush (Sandra Oh), becoming a rival to her besotted servant (Peter Dinklage).

It’s a whimsically silly time at the theater. And you can enjoy it from your couch. — K.P.

Starring: Lupita Nyong’o, Sandra Oh, Peter Dinklage, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Junior Nyong’o, and Daphne Rubin-Vega

How to watch: Great Performances: Twelfth Night premiers on PBS, the PBS app, and pbs.org/gperf on Nov. 14 at 9 p.m./8 p.m. Central.

5. Krampus

An underrated treasure of holiday horror is Michael Dougherty’s festive follow-up to Trick ‘r Treat, Krampus. As teased by the title. this creature feature focuses on a family terrorized by St. Nick’s less generous counterpart, who delivers punishments instead of presents. So, when one modern family loses sight of the purpose for the Christmas holiday, Krampus and a cavalcade of menacing minions come calling for attacks that are ghoulish and sometimes hilarious. We’re talking killer toys, stabby gingerbread men, and ominous snowmen.

This kooky killer concept paired with a sensational cast that boasts Hereditary‘s Toni Collette and The Monkey‘s Adam Scott is sure alternately warm you heart and give you chills. ‘Tis the season. — K.P.

Starring: Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Emjay Anthony, Stefania LaVie Owen, Krista Stadler, Lolo Owen, Queenie Samuel, Maverick Flack, and Sage Hunefeld

How to watch: Krampus comes to Shudder on Nov. 15.

4. Sesame Street, Season 56

Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away! Sesame Street is back, and now it’s on Netflix. Your favorite fluffy and furry Sesame Street residents are ready to teach kids about the alphabet, good nutrition, and much more with a new host of celebrity guests, cartoons, and much, much more.

And for grown-ups, Sesame Street is a reliably great kids show that’s educational and entertaining. How do you get to Sesame Street? Tune into Netflix. — K.P.

Starring: Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Grover, Rosita, and more

How to watch: Sesame Street Season 56 is now streaming on Netflix.

3. Nouvelle Vague

Richard Linklater goes full French New Wave in Nouvelle Vague, an homage to director Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless. The film chronicles the making of Breathless, from Godard’s (Guillaume Marbeck) first pleas to direct a film to the casting of Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) and Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dullin). It also taps into the chaos of the shoot, much of which was improvised over a 20-day period.

Nouvelle Vague is as loving a tribute to Breathless as can be, with Linklater shooting in black and white and a 4:3 aspect ratio to emphasize the French New Wave feel. Occasionally, Linklater’s reverence can get in Nouvelle Vague‘s own way, as it feels like he’s checking off film history boxes. Where Nouvelle Vague really excels is the downtime between shooting, which is thankfully most of the movie. As I wrote in my review, “Nouvelle Vague proves a sweet tribute to an influential film movement, one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you’re a French New Wave fan, come for the Breathless tributes, but stay for the hangout vibes.” — B.E.

Starring: Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, and Aubry Dullin

How to watch: Nouvelle Vague debuts on Netflix on Nov. 14.

2. Bunny

After Hours. Do the Right Thing. In the Heights. When Harry Met Sally. They’re movies with very different plots and vibes, and yet all are definitively New York. Now the canon of exceptionally New York movies has grown, thanks to Bunny. 

The directorial debut of Ben Jacobson, Bunny centers on an East Village tenement resident (Mo Stark) whose very bad birthday is a tapestry of chaos, community, and characters that are undeniably the fabric of New York City. Like the iconic cinema listed above, Bunny channels the energy of this great city, while also embracing its funkier elements. This fantastic, funny, and surprising indie is also an unapologetic and unsentimental love letter to New York.* — K.P.

Starring: Mo Stark, Ben Jacobson, Liza Colby, Anthony Drazan, Linda Rong Mei Chen, Genevieve Hudson-Price, Eleonore Hendricks, Kia Warren, Richard Price, and Henry Czerny

How to watch: Bunny opens in theaters and will be available to purchase on Apple TV on Nov. 14.

1. In Your Dreams

Netflix goes to dreamland in In Your Dreams, a charming animated adventure directed by Pixar alum Alex Woo. The film introduces siblings Stevie (voiced by Jolie Hoang-Rappaport) and Elliot (voiced by Elias Janssen), who go on a quest through their dreams to find the Sandman (voiced by Omid Djalili). Legend has it that he can grant a wish, and Stevie and Elliot’s is that he can fix their parents’ (voiced by Simu Liu and Cristin Milioti) strained marriage so they can be a happy family again.

In Your Dreams is chock-full of playful creations, from the delectable landscape of Breakfast Town to Elliot’s riotous stuffed animal companion Baloney Tony (voiced by Craig Robinson). But it’s the focus on parental conflict — and Stevie and Elliot’s reaction to it — that truly makes In Your Dreams special. As I wrote in my review, “None of In Your Dreams‘ dreamland chaos would mean anything if it wasn’t rooted in Stevie and Elliot’s anxieties about their parents’ marriage, which the film portrays with unflinching honesty… It’s a thoughtful, mature portrayal of how parents can grow distant yet still love each other.” — B.E.

Starring: Craig Robinson, Simu Liu, Cristin Milioti, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Gia Carides, Omid Djalili, and SungWon Cho

How to watch: In Your Dreams debuts on Netflix on Nov. 14.
