The 7 picks that will redefine streaming this November 2025
1 – Fantastic Four: First Steps – Why Marvel’s $521M hit matters on Disney+
Disney+ drops Fantastic Four on Nov. 5 after a $521 million theatrical run, so expect huge first-week viewing. If you loved the summer theatrical buzz, this is the title that will dominate family and fandom conversations. Pick it when you want spectacle and rewatchable Easter eggs.
2 – Frankenstein – Guillermo del Toro’s awards-season launch on Netflix
Paramount+ Streams Every Star Trek Episode Except These 12
Amazon Prime Student Cuts Streaming Costs in Half
Del Toro’s Frankenstein streams Nov. 7 and already carries strong festival and awards heat, with Oscar buzz following early reviews. This is the serious pick of the month; watch it if you track awards-season contenders and director-driven storytelling. Would you stream it the same night it drops?
3 – Materialists – A24’s rom-com crossover arrives on HBO Max
Celine Song’s Materialists lands Nov. 7 on HBO Max after crossing $100 million globally, blending indie sensibility with mainstream appeal. If you liked sharp social rom-coms, this one threads intimacy and commerce in a surprising way. Try it for a date-night watch.
4 – Freakier Friday – Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return for holiday streaming
Disney+ premieres Freakier Friday Nov. 12, reuniting Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in a nostalgia-laced family comedy. This is the seasonal crowd-pleaser built for repeat holiday viewing and family group streams. Put it on when you want light laughs with a familiar face.
5 – Eddington – Ari Aster’s out-there comedy-drama seeks new streaming life
Ari Aster’s Eddington lands on HBO Max Nov. 14 and may find a second life with streaming audiences despite modest box office. This is the month’s weird, discussable pick – expect water-cooler debates and think-pieces. Will you stream it for plot twists or conversation fodder?
6 – The Roses – Searchlight’s dark-comedy lovers’ pick on Hulu
The Roses premieres Nov. 20 on Hulu with Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman; it’s designed for grown-up viewers craving sharp satire. If you like character-driven domestic collapse stories, this will stick with you. Stream it for performances first, spoilers later.
7 – Train Dreams – Netflix’s quietly acclaimed Best Picture dark horse
Netflix adds Train Dreams Nov. 21, an intimate period drama that critics call a dark-horse awards film. This one rewards viewers who want slow-burn emotion and craft. Save it for a night when you want to be moved rather than distracted.
The numbers behind November’s streaming shake-up in 2025 holiday season
| Metric | Value + Unit | Change/Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Titles in Variety roundup | 29 titles | Broad holiday slate across services |
| Fantastic Four box office | $521 million | Strong pre-streaming demand |
