11 New TV Shows You Need to Stream This November
From the brand new series 'The Day of the Jackal' to second seasons of 'Bad Sisters', 'Silo', and 'Sprint', November offers plenty of reasons to press play this month.
Without sounding too dramatic, 2024 is almost over.
In the immortal words of Shania Twain, “Looks like we made it, look how far we’ve come my baby.” But before we enter the social cyclone of the silly season, we’ve got one more month to sit back, relax, and binge our way through some incredible new shows.
This November, say hello to the new series Dune: Prophecy and The Day of the Jackal and goodbye to one of the biggest shows of the past decade, Yellowstone.
1. Martha
Where can I watch it? Netflix
While this isn't classified a tv show, we think this candid documentary charting the unstoppable rise, sudden fall and hard-won comeback of lifestyle icon Martha Stewart is worth adding to your 'must watch' list this month. Told in her own words, this definitive documentary pulls back the curtains on one of America's greatest self-made icons, from her early days growing up in a working-class family to the scandal that sent her to prison.
2. Cross
Where can I watch it? On Prime Video
Based off the characters in James Patterson’s best-selling Alex Cross book series, Cross puts the thrill in psychological thriller. Over eight-episodes, follow detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross (played by Aldis Hodge) as he attempts to hunt down and capture dangerous killers while delving into their psyches. Incredibly, the show has already been renewed for a Season 2 ahead of its debut, so it essentially comes with a guarantee of greatness.
3. The Day of the Jackal
Where can I watch it? On HBO Max
In a classic cat-and-mouse chase across the European continent, this ten-episode thriller follows a ruthless assassin, Jackal, who in turn is being followed by Bianca, a zealous MI6 agent determined to track him down. An adaptation of the Frederick Forsyth novel of the same name, this reinvention comes from the brilliant minds of Top Boy writer Ronan Bennett and Game of Thrones director Brian Kirk, with a star-studded cast that includes Eddie Redmayne, Lashana Lynch, and Úrsula Corberó.
4. Dune: Prophecy
Where can I watch it? On Sky
Here to fill the sandworm-sized void until Dune 3 arrives in 2026 (ish), Dune: Prophecy takes us back in time to the early days of the Duniverse, some 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides. Created by author Frank Herbert and inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune, this six-episode prequel series follows two Harkonnen sisters as they endeavour to protect humankind against threatening forces, armed with an (inter)stellar cast of Australian stars including Travis Fimmel, Josh Heuston, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Yerin Ha and Brendan Cowell.
5. Say Nothing
Where can I watch it? On Disney+
Based on The New York Times best selling book by writer and journalist Patrick Radden Keefe, Say Nothing explores the period of conflict in Ireland known as ‘The Troubles.’ Over nine gripping episodes, the historical drama delves into the stories of Irish Republican Army (IRA) members and the effects such radical violence had on people growing up in Belfast in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Spanning multiple decades, the series begins in 1972 with the disappearance of single mother Jean McConville, who was kidnapped by the IRA.
6. Landman
Where can I watch it? On Paramount+
The last time oil rigs got the Hollywood treatment, we were gifted There Will Be Blood. By all accounts this latest black-gold-based series will be just as captivating, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, and Demi Moore in a modern-day tale of fortune seeking amongst the oil rigs of West Texas. Based on the hit podcast Boomtown, the series explores the US oil boom reshaping the climate and economy, while profiling the big personalities behind it.
7. Outer Banks, Season 4 Part 2
Where can I watch it? On Netflix
The first half of Outer Banks Season 4 had more cliff hangers than the Grand Canyon. Part 2 finds the treasure-hunting Pogues where we left them, closed off in the catacombs care of the mercenaries. The remaining five eps of Season 4 also finds JJ in the throws of an identity crisis after that gasp-worthy secret reveal in Part 1’s finale. As for a Season 5, that all depends on the viewership numbers – so if you’re a fan, best get those streams up.
8. Silo, Season 2
Where can I watch it? On Apple TV+
Season 1 of this post-apocalyptic science-fiction series gripped the world with its mysterious tale of a mile deep, 144-level silo built to protect the last ten thousand people on earth from a deadly outside existence. Or so we thought. Season 2 exposes the truth after Juliette Nichols, the silo’s mechanic, dared to step foot outside in last season’s gripping finale. Created by Graham Yost, the sci-fi series stars Rebecca Ferguson, Common, Harriet Walter, and Chinaza Uche.
9. Sprint, Season 2
Where can I watch it? On Netflix
Season 1 of Netflix’s suspenseful sports docuseries prepped us for the 2024 Paris Olympics, chronicling the gruelling regimens and mounting pressure facing the world’s fastest athletes. With the Olympic torch now well on its way to LA for 2028, Season 2 of Sprint promises to deliver all the BTS action of the Games that were, following athletes including Gabby Thomas, Letsile Tebogo, Shericka Jackson, Marcell Jacobs, and a famously COVID-19 positive Noah Lyles as they chase the ultimate dream.
10. Yellowstone, Season 5 Part 2
Where can I watch it? On Prime Video
Two years after Season 5 Part 1 aired, we finally get closure – albeit without the man who started it all. That’s right, the iconic ranch drama Yellowstone is officially coming to an end sans John Dutton (Kevin Costner), whose absence is shrouded in controversy and rumour. Alas, the rest of the crew will be there to wave goodbye, with beloved characters Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), Wes Bentley (Jaime Dutton) and Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) all appearing in the final six episodes.
11. Bad Sisters, Season 2
Where can I watch it? On Apple TV+
There’s bad, and then there’s “bad, bad, bad, bad, bad”, as Sarah Greene’s Bibi says at one point in Season 2 of Sharon Horgan’s wickedly funny dramady. After one seriously satisfying Season 1 finale, the Irish Garvey sisters find themselves under pressure and surrounded by suspicion two years on, as past truths are unearthed over eight-episodes of this critically acclaimed dark murder-mystery series.
