New on Netflix in November 2026: 5 best movies and shows to stream, plus full release list

Netflix has announced its lineup for November 2026, kicking off the holiday season with a variety of new movies and TV shows. Among the festive offerings, "A Dog's Perfect Christmas" is a heartwarming film based on a novel about a lovable pooch companion and its role in bringing a family together during the holidays. The story, voiced by Thomas Haden Church and starring Milo Ventimiglia and Dennis Quaid, is set to premiere on November 4.

For those seeking a different kind of holiday experience, "Black Doves" season 2 is a spy thriller set against a winter backdrop, featuring Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw. The series returns with a more dangerous mission for the covert organization Black Doves, promising higher stakes and new cast members such as Ambika Mod, Babou Ceesay, and Neve Campbell. "Black Doves" will be available starting November 5.

If you're in the mood for a mystery thriller set against the backdrop of country music, "Heartland" starring Jessica Chastain is a fresh take on the genre. Misty Jones, an ex-country singer, returns to investigate her niece's disappearance in Nashville, diving into the city's darker side. "Heartland" premieres on November 13.

For families, "Steps" is a new animated fantasy adventure that puts a unique spin on the classic Cinderella story, with Lilith (Amanda Seyfried) playing the lead instead of Cinderella's stepsister. The journey follows Lilith as she transforms her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu) into a frog, turning the well-known tale on its head. "Steps" is scheduled for release on November 20.

Other notable additions to Netflix's November lineup include "The Altruists," a limited series based on the true story of the biggest financial fraud in U.S. history, and "Steps," an animated retelling of Cinderella that offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale.
