What to know about these 9 big streaming drops in November 2025
- Disney+ premieres “Fantastic Four: First Steps” on Nov. 5; theatrical gross $521M.
- Netflix adds “Frankenstein” on Nov. 7, a major Oscar buzz title.

Why these 9 November 2025 streaming picks will reshape your watchlist
1 – Fantastic Four (Nov. 5 on Disney+): The summer blockbuster you’ll rewatch
Marvel’s family lands on Disney+ after a $521M global run, with Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby leading. If you skipped the theatrical curtain, this is the high-value pick to stream on opening weekend. If you love franchise callbacks, this one keeps the action rolling.
2 – Frankenstein (Nov. 7 on Netflix): Guillermo del Toro’s awards bid arrives at home
Your Internet Speed Is Fine – The Streaming App Is the Problem
Discovery+ Documentaries Outrank Netflix Originals on IMDb
Del Toro’s passion project stars Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi and already carries festival acclaim and awards chatter. Watch this if you want the conversation-starter of the month. It’s the heavier, prestige counterpoint to the big tentpole picks.
3 – Materialists (Nov. 7 on HBO Max): A24’s rom-drama that surprised summer box office
Céline Song’s film crossed $100M globally and lands on HBO Max, led by Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal. If you liked smart adult rom-dramas (think sharp dialogue, messy feelings), add this to your list. It’s quietly one of November’s most talked-about small films.
4 – Freakier Friday (Nov. 12 on Disney+): Nostalgia plus a modern twist
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return in a holiday-friendly sequel built for family streaming nights. Expect comfort viewing with a fresh generational spin – perfect if you want a lighter watch between awards contenders.
5 – Eddington (Nov. 14 on HBO Max): Ari Aster’s oddball dark comedy arrives for streaming
Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, this film underperformed theatrically but fits Aster’s cult trajectory. If you chase odd cinematic swings and conversation pieces, Eddington rewards curious viewers willing to be unsettled.
6 – The Roses (Nov. 20 on Hulu): Star power meets biting domestic drama
Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch headline a reimagined black comedy about a marriage unravelling. Add this for top-tier performances you’ll discuss with friends the next day.
7 – Train Dreams (Nov. 21 on Netflix): Quiet prestige with serious buzz
Joel Edgerton anchors this adaptation that’s emerging as a critics’ favorite and a potential awards dark horse. If you prefer subtle, long-game storytelling, this is the November title to savor.
8 – Nouvelle Vague (Nov. 14 on Netflix): Richard Linklater’s love letter to cinema history
A black-and-white, 35mm homage to Godard and the French New Wave, it’s cinephile catnip arriving on Netflix midmonth. Watch this one if you want a conversation about craft and film history.
9 – Mickey 17 (Nov. 26 on Prime Video): Sci-fi with a high-concept hook
Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson’s clone-drama reaches Prime Video at month’s end, offering thoughtful science-fiction for viewers who like their spectacle with ideas. This is the late-November pick for speculative fiction fans.
The key figures behind these 9 November streaming debuts
| Metric | Value + Unit | Change/Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Box office (top title) | $521M | Drives Disney+ viewer interest |
| Awards-season titles | 3 | Greater Netflix and HBO Max prestige |
| High-profile premieres | 9 titles | Broader genre mix for viewers |
These figures show November’s tilt toward blockbusters and awards hopefuls.
What will these 9 November releases mean for your watchlist in 2025?
Together, these premieres create a split-screen month: big-audience franchise viewing and critics-first prestige films. That means more appointment-style streaming (family nights, awards-season binges) and fewer filler watches. Which side will dominate your queue this holiday – blockbuster comfort or awards-season debate?
