November opens with a busy streaming week: 13 titles land between November 3 and 8, 2026, and Netflix is doing much of the heavy lifting. The list spans an animated steampunk Western, true-crime documentary, festive family drama, and some of the most anticipated Indian titles of the week. Netflix also lists Under Siege among its new arrivals.
The returns and remakes to keep on your radar
The big streaming return is Black Doves, which Netflix lists as part of its November slate. Keira Knightley’s Helen Webb and Ben Whishaw’s Sam Young are pulled deeper into espionage, and the stakes turn personal: Helen’s husband is inching closer to becoming Britain’s next Prime Minister while she hides a double life as an assassin.
Indian viewers have two star-led thrillers to consider. Haiwaan puts Priyadarshan behind the camera with Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar in an official remake of the 2016 Malayalam film Oppam. It follows a blind caretaker who discovers a body and becomes the main suspect in a murder investigation, and it streams on SonyLIV. I’m Game, starring Dulquer Salmaan, arrives on JioHotstar on November 6. Directed by Nahas Hidayath, it follows a gambler whose confidence in luck keeps pulling him into dangerous situations.
Fresh originals, docs and family picks
Bass Machina opens the week on Netflix on November 3. Brian Tyree Henry, Tati Gabrielle and Janelle Monáe lead the voice cast of this adult animated steampunk Western about an ageing gunslinger who acts as judge, jury and executioner in a lawless frontier. It is a six-episode limited series.
On Prime Video, The Greatest examines Muhammad Ali beyond the boxing ring: his political activism, religious conversion and eventual exile from professional boxing. For documentary fans, Taken: Natalee Holloway revisits the 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway in Aruba through a three-part series with previously unseen archival footage and access to investigators.
Family viewing arrives midweek. A Dog’s Perfect Christmas lands on November 4, adapted from W. Bruce Cameron’s novel about a stray puppy who repairs a fractious holiday. Dilwali Diwali follows on November 5, with Mihir Ahuja as a young man returning home for the festival of lights, alongside Manoj Pahwa and Neelu Kohli.
For Tamil cinema fans
The south-Indian slate gets three additions. Nooru Kodi Vaanavil finally makes its digital debut on ZEE5 after a long wait; directed by Sasi, it stars Harish Kalyan and Siddhi Idnani as a young couple under pressure from family expectations. Hiphop Tamizha Adhi returns to the world of Meesaya Murukku with a sequel about an aspiring musician whose relationship comes under strain. And Possible Love marks Lee Chang-dong’s first new feature in eight years, a Korean drama about two married couples whose lives intersect through a film project.
