Everything That’s Streaming in November 2025

November is here, which means more prestige films, blockbuster event family programming, and lots of stuff to watch while channel-surfing at home on Thanksgiving.

This month’s streaming offerings have all of that and more, including the beginning of the end of Stranger Things, two Beatles-related documentaries, Richard Linklater’s riff on the French New Wave, a few Netflix awards contenders, a new show from Vince Gilligan, and all the dysfunctional family drama you could want (courtesy of the Criterion Channel).

Also, a special appearance for PBS, whose Ken Burns documentary about the American Revolution merits the mention.

Read on for Book & Film Globe’s definitive guide to the top titles this month.

Netflix

Stranger Things Season 5, Part 1 (Nov. 26) — Finally. Nearly 10 years after we first went to the Upside Down, Stranger Things starts its fifth and final season this November.

This season will be broken up into three parts. The first four episodes drop Nov. 26; the following three episodes drop Christmas Day; and the final episode drops New Year’s Eve. That finale will also be available to watch at select movie theaters in the U.S. and Canada. Netflix has yet to say which theaters will be playing the series finale.

At any rate, it will be fun to go back to Hawkins one last time.

Frankenstein (Nov. 7) — Speaking of Netflix theatrical releases, Guillermo del Toro’s version of Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as The Monster, is currently in theaters for a short time before hitting Netflix on Nov. 7.

Our review of the film from the Toronto International Film Festival called it “sumptuous but overlong” and said it “exudes a romantic urgency.”

Being Eddie (Nov. 12) — Netflix adds to the growing trend of biography documentaries made with the full cooperation of its subjects with this look at Eddie Murphy’s life and legacy. The doc features appearances by Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jerry Seinfeld, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross and Tracy Morgan.

Nouvelle Vague (Nov. 14) — Richard Linklater’s latest Netflix outing is a loose retelling of how Jean-Luc Godard helped usher in the French New Wave with Breathless. Guillaume Marbeck stars as Godard, Adrien Rouyard is François Truffaut and Zoey Deutch plays Jean Seberg.

Nouvelle Vague looks like a French New Wave film (Linklater even used the same type of camera as Godard), and it’s fun to watch Linklater find new ways to express his love for the medium. Also: If you want to catch up on Breathless before watching Linklater’s take, the original film is streaming on HBO Max and the Criterion Channel.

Train Dreams (Nov. 21) — This historical drama adapted from Denis Johnson’s novella of the same name stars Joel Edgerton as railroad laborer Robert Grainier, who is working to develop the U.S. railroad system in the Pacific Northwest in the early 1900s.

It’s already getting Oscar buzz for Edgerton’s performance, and writing team Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar were previously nominated for writing 2023’s Sing Sing.
