November’s shaping up to be a bit of an uneven month for Netflix subscribers. There’s quite a bit of great stuff leaving in November 2016, but a slightly underwhelming collection of titles coming in to take their place. There’s quite a lot of children’s programming and Second World War documentaries coming to Netflix in November (yawn), but there’s also some exciting original programming, a couple Hollywood classics and one of this year’s biggest family-friendly blockbusters.
Looking for a Halloween binge? Check out our list of the horror movies on Netflix. The streaming service doesn’t have the greatest collection, but there’s a couple of gems in there.
Best of the new movies and tv shows coming to Netflix in November 2016
The African Queen (Nov. 1)
This classic 1951 drama/romance, set in the years of the First World War, stars Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart as unlikely companions on an East African river boat, bent on destroying a German gunboat. It’s a fast-paced, rollicking adventure film and both the leads are nothing less than stellar. Still not convinced? The African Queen holds a 100% “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life (Nov. 25)
This Netflix-helmed, four-episode reboot of the beloved series reintroduces fans to all their favorite faces from Stars Hollow. Judging from the recent trailer, A Year In The Life will focus on how Rory, Lorelai and Emily face the challenges of lives that continue to change and evolve. Each of the ladies are at a crossroads, but it's clear they have each other to rely on. You can watch the new trailer above. The Gilmore Girls Netflix revival sees the return of Lauren Graham (Lorelai), Alexis Bledel (Rory), Melissa McCarthy (Sookie), Scott Patterson (Luke), Kelly Bishop (Emily), Sean Gunn (Kirk), Keiko Agena (Lane), David Sutcliffe (Christopher), Danny Strong (Doyle), Vanessa Marano (April), Rose Abdoo (Gypsy) and Liza Weil (Paris).
The Jungle Book (Nov. 30)
Jon Favreau directed this year’s live-action reboot of the beloved Disney animated classic, which was a hit with critics and audiences alike. (Check out our review!) The film blends live action and CGI to tell the story of Mowgli, an orphaned human boy embarks on a journey of self-discovery while attempting to stave off the threat of Shere Khan. The Jungle Book features the voices of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlett Johansson, Giancarlo Esposito and Christopher Walken.
