Everything Coming To Netflix In November 2017

We get it–everyone's finishing out October with a Stranger Things binge. But once those final credits roll and you're left empty and alone, how will you fill that Upside-Down-shaped hole in your heart? With more TV, obviously! In fact, November is bringing plenty of new movies and shows to get excited about on Netflix. We rounded up everything coming to to the service in November 2017, starting with the Netflix originals.

Get ready for a mouth-watering good time with this unscripted cooking faceoff. Each episode of The Big Family Cooking Showdown sees two families go head to head to prepare the best dish in a series of challenges. Netflix snagged distribution rights for this popular BBC Two cooking show, which originally aired in the UK in August 2017. With the holidays fast approaching, there's no better time to settle down in front of the TV to catch all the delectable surprises–and maybe inspire a few holiday dishes of your own. Stream all of Season 1 on November 3.

Netflix's rapid-fire release of new seasons of this show is no accident. The tween comedy has proven to be pretty popular with Netflix's younger audience, so it's no surprise that they're gunning for near-monthly releases (Season 5 dropped in September). The show's pretty much what you'd expect–a bunch of schoolgirls are actually secret agents who regularly save the world. Queue it up on November 7.

Glitter Force Doki Doki ain't your grandma's Sailor Moon. Nope–it's a shinier, more accurately dubbed story of four girls who learn to harness their inner powers to protect Earth from evil. Together, they're the Sailor Soldi-...they're the Glitter Force! Which is definitely different. Okay, to be fair, both Glitter Force and Sailor Moon were produced by the same company, Toei Animation, and there's nothing wrong with going back to a formula that worked pretty much flawlessly for a good 200 episodes. Check out Season 2 of Glitter Force Doki Doki on November 10.

Netflix is all over their manga adaptations this November, and if Fate/Apocrypha didn't sate your anime appetite, tune in to Season 1 of Blazing Transfer Students. While it's not anime–it's a live-action sequel to the manga of the same name–it promises to offer up plenty of anime style with a premise so ridiculous we won't be able to not watch it: seven boys, all named Kakeru, get transferred to a new school at the same time on a secret mission. That's either the worst or the best thing we've ever heard, and we'll find out for sure when the series hits Netflix on November 10.

Stand-up comedian DeRay Davis lands on Netflix this November with How to Act Black, a new comedy special pulled straight from Davis' stand-up routines. According to Netflix, it'll dive into life and show business from Davis' point of view, promising a knock-out series of punchlines and anecdotes that any comedy fan is sure to love. Take a look on November 14.

New for this kids this month is another season of Luna Petunia, the preschool adventure show that teaches children how to work together and believe in themselves–everything you'd like to teach your kids yourself, but don't have time for! Season 3 will follow Luna Petunia on even more magical adventures in the land of Amazia, where she'll meet new friends and learn a few important lessons along the way.

In 1999's Man on the Moon, Jim Carrey turned in a powerful performance as comedian Andy Kaufman, who both delighted and perplexed audiences in the '70s and early '80s with his eccentric performances and elaborate hoaxes. And as the documentary Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond reveals, Carrey went to insane lengths to portray Kaufman. Literally, psychotic lengths. The documentary is composed mainly of behind-the-scenes footage from the set of Man on the Moon, where Carrey took Method acting to lengths that might cause Daniel Day-Lewis to tell him to dial it back a bit.

In character every step of the way, Carrey would torment the director, provoke his co-stars, and, basically, Kaufman the hell out of the entire production. Even off the set, Carrey enmeshed himself in Kaufman, once spending two hours on the phone with director Ron Howard to talk about How the Grinch Stole Christmas...in character as Andy Kaufman. It may have worked wonders for Man on the Moon, but at the same time, it probably explains just as much about the mess that was Grinch.

Currently sitting tight with a 98 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes as of this writing, Mudbound definitely looks like a film worth seeking out. The Netflix original centers on two soldiers at the end of World War II who return home to rural Mississippi only to find that, in many ways, their struggles are only just beginning as racism, poverty, and violence threaten to tear their farming community apart. Mudbound premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2017 to critical acclaim, and Netflix picked up the period drama for $12.5 million. Check it out on November 17.

Remember Stretch Armstrong, the rubbery man you could stretch and twist and bend to your heart's content? He's making a comeback in a new animated series co-developed by Netflix and Hasbro, which will see Stretch teaming up with similarly flexible superheroes to fight bad guys and stuff. But will saving the world be good enough if Stretch can't get his homework in on time? We'll have to tune in on November 17 to find out.

Entertainment for the rugrats and music that won't make you claw out your eardrums? Find us a buyer and we'd sell our souls for that kind of combo, right? Well, good news: you can keep your soul, because Beat Bugs is coming back to Netflix. This is a show about bugs that sing Beatles songs and learn lessons based on those songs. Beat Bugs: All Together Now is a new special that'll feature some new tunes, so turn up the volume on November 21 and let those kids in on some real music for once.

Are Westerns making their big comeback? It sure seems like it, and Netflix's upcoming Godless is the latest outlaw joining the gang. Starring Jeff Daniels, Godless tells the story of Frank Griffin (Daniels), a bandit hellbent on getting revenge against his ex-partner. The six-part miniseries was created by Scott Frank, who penned Logan, with Steven Soderbergh serving as executive producer. Get set for all the slick six-shooter action and gripping drama on November 22.

After making waves at the Venice International Film Festival, Cuba and the Cameraman is set to come out on Netflix on November 24. The documentary chronicles four decades of revolution, war, and Communism in Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. It's an eerily intense history lesson rolled into a political commentary that looks deep into the lives of the regular people who lived–and died–under the dictator's regime. It's not light viewing, but Cuba and the Cameraman should go on everyone's list of must-see documentaries.

This Japanese series follows a struggling screenwriter who pretends to give relationship advice to heartbroken women, while secretly stealing their stories to put into her newest screenplay. The Many Faces of Ito is part drama, part comedy, and if it comes across as well as the surprisingly good Final Fantasy: Dad of Light (another recent Netflix acquisition from the Japanese airwaves), it's bound to make for some interesting viewing, at the very least. The series will be available for streaming on November 24.

There have been several different versions of Les Revenants, a critically acclaimed French series about people who mysteriously come back to life in a small town. While the American version fell a little flat, the Australian telling of the story, Glitch, was better received and went on to win several Australian television awards. Netflix came in to co-produce Season 2, which airs November 28.

We're getting a handful of new action movies on Netflix this month. On the first, look for Chappie, a sci-fi action comedy from District 9's Neill Blomkamp. That day will also see the addition of Men in Black.

Every month brings more documentaries to Netflix, and November is no different. Settle in to experience life way outside the norm with brand new documentaries like 2016's It's Not Yet Dark, about Irish filmmaker Simon Fitzmaurice, who was diagnosed with neurodegenerative ALS at the age of 34. Using only his eyes–the only part of his body left under his control–Fitzmaurice set out to direct a feature film. Colin Farrell narrates this inspirational documentary about the director's struggles to get his vision onto the screen despite the fact that he's completely paralyzed. Look for it on Netflix November 2.

Other documentaries to look for this month include 2008's Eventual Salvation, about a woman's return to war-torn Liberia to rebuild her life, and Williams, a supercharged glimpse into the founder of the Williams Formula 1 team, to name a few.
