November’s nearly here and along with a distinct chill in the air, we’re also getting a slew of new Netflix films and shows to keep us warm on the long, cold, lonely nights. Well, at the very least, this month’s lineup will keep us bingeing.
The streaming platform’s churning out a host of films, shows, and returning favorites this month, with a little something for every kind of cinephile. Chris Pine stars in a Scottish epic, Robin Wright returns to reign chaos on House of Cards, a new Narcos brings us a stylish villain in Diego Luna, and the Coen brothers present their wild and whacky Western. And of course, there’s plenty of holiday fare, most notably a Netflix film that sees Kurt Russell playing Santa Claus. We know it’s hard to keep up with everything coming to (and leaving) Netflix each month so here’s a rundown of what’s happening on the streaming platform this November.
ARRIVING
Outlaw King (Netflix film streaming 11/9)
Chris Pine goes full-on Braveheart in this historical action epic about Scottish nobleman Robert the Bruce who led a rebellion against England. Pine plays the famous “Outlaw King,” a soft-spoken good guy who thwacks his enemies with his ax and believes in freedom for Scotland above all else. His sidekick, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, is a bit more complicated, a nobleman looking to win back his title through bloodshed. There’s plenty of the expected fare here: beards, Scottish brogue, majestic scenery, men wrestling in the mud, and Chris Pine’s peen. Honestly, if you come for nothing else, come for Chris Pine’s peen.
House of Cards: Season 6 (Netflix series streaming 11/2)
House of Cards picks up for its sixth and final season with the death of Frank Underwood and the crowning of Claire Underwood, a character possibly more suited to power than her devious husband. After Netflix fired Kevin Spacey of sexual assault allegations, the show needed a way to rid itself of his over-the-top antagonist so that Robin Wright could take her rightful place as Commander in Chief. It does this by giving us a juicy murder plot, one that probably won’t be solved until the end of the series. In the meantime, Claire battle against conservative adversaries (hello Greg Kinnear and Diane Lane) and takes some big swings because, well, why not? She’s got nothing to lose.
Narcos: Mexico (Netflix series streaming 11/16)
Narcos is back and the tone is decidedly different from the series’ first few seasons. Instead of soberingly-dark tales of drug busts gone wrong, Narcos: Mexico looks to be giving us a stylishly fun re-imagining of the early days of Mexico’s drug war. Diego Luna plays the new big bad, a drug lord looking to expand his reach, while Michael Pena plays the fed tasked with busting his operation. Luna looks to be thoroughly enjoying playing the sleazeball gangster-type and since this new installment is set in the 80s, expect plenty of decadence, a killer soundtrack, and a ton of cocaine.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (Netflix film streaming 11/16)
The Coen brothers are back with a slick new Western romp, one that serves as an ode to all of the tropes present in Hollywood’s best Wild West adaptations. Split into six parts, each story is loosely connected though thematically and tonally different. Tim Blake Nelson stars as the titular hero, a sharpshooting songster who takes part in the film’s opening musical portion. From there we get stories of outlaws getting their due, prospectors mining for gold, ghostly hauntings, and wagon trails. Forgetting trying to follow the thread and just enjoy the ride with this one.
