Everything That’s Streaming in November 2026
Celebrate Thanksgiving month with Muhammad Ali, Nicolas Cage, Amy Poehler, and ‘Yellowjackets’
It’s November, turkeys are being cooked, the year is starting to wind down, and you know what that means: A ramp-up for prestige shows and films, the beginnings of December holiday content and a lot of Thanksgiving-friendly options to watch with your family after you’re done bickering and/or saying what you’re thankful for this year.
This November, streaming services have rom-coms, gritty thrillers, football games, a movie about a football game, a new look at the Cinderella story, the return of hits like The Hunting Wives and The Gilded Age, the return of Amy Poehler in a Michael Schur comedy, the end of Yellowjackets, and much more.
