Dolly hold us in your arms
Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm serving you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your viewing habits, the streaming service’s fire hose of content makes what’s coming and going difficult to parse.
That’s why we break down each month’s info dump with a few recommendations for what to keep on your radar.
November brings tidings of holiday joy to Netflix, including Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square, a sequel to the Princess Switch, and a follow-up to the Christmas Chronicles. But it’s not just holiday festivities. The fourth season of The Crown hits the platform, along with Ron Howard’s Hillbilly Elegy. Other titles include Easy A, Ocean’s Eleven, and A Clockwork Orange, along with American Horror Story: 1984 — nothing says November like some AHS!
