New on Netflix: Every new TV show and movie coming in November

Tiger King: Season 2 (Nov. 17)

Joe Exotic will be missed in this second installment of the docuseries. Understandably so since he is serving a 22-year-long prison sentence for a murder-for-hire plot on his rival, Big Cat Rescue’s Carole Baskin. But he will have a cameo (in a sense) as his phone call interviews from prison will be sprinkled throughout the eight-episode series. His husband Dillon Passage hinted that Season 2 is going to be interesting because it will share a bit of Joe’s arrest and events that happened afterward.

Meanwhile, Baskins is unlikely to return after she called it “absolutely ridiculous” to have to clean the air on TV after Exotic obviously betrayed her. But the season will follow the outcome of her mission to take ownership of G.W. Zoo.

Other things to watch out for in Tiger King: Season 2 include Exotic’s former partner, Jeff Lowe, as he takes over his zoo after his arrest. Then there are the supporters campaigning for his pardon from former U.S. President Donald Trump and the investigation into the disappearance of Baskin’s ex-husband Don Lewis.

Directors: Rebecca Chaiklin, Eric Goode—Cast: Jeff Lowe, Tim Stark, Allen Glover, and James Garretson— Run Time: 5h 58m

Cowboy Bebop (Nov. 19)

This live adaptation of the cult classic of the same name is set in the year 2071 where Earth is practically uninhabitable, and mankind lives in space. The story follows bounty hunters called “cowboys” as they go on dangerous missions to hunt down convicts for a good price aboard a ship called Bebop. Easygoing Spike Spiegel (John Cho) and his best friend Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir) team up with a few interesting characters including a computer whiz kid, the femme fatale Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), and a genetically engineered Corgi named Henry.

Expect a wild ride in this ten-episode series based on Hajime Yatate’s neo-noir space western classic which initially aired on Japanese TV in the ‘90s before it debuted on America’s Adult Swim channel in 2001.

Directors: Alex Garcia Lopez, Michael Katleman— Screenplay: Hajime Yatate, Christopher L. Yost, Alexandra E. Hartman— Cast: John Cho, Daniella Pineda, Elena Satine, Mustafa Shakir, Alex Hassell, Molly Moriarty, Lucy Currey, Blessing Mokgohloa, John Noble— Run Time: 10h

Big Mouth: Season 5 (Nov. 5)

What makes this animated show endearing is its relatable stories. It tackles adolescence and those prepubescent years with a sense of humor, albeit with some gross and nasty parts. You never know just what to expect but in Season 5, expect love to be the driving force in the story as Nick (Nick Kroll) and Jessi (Jessi Glaser) get the romance going following a visit from the Love Bugs (Pamela Adlon and Brandon Kyle Goodman).

Creators: Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett— Screenplay: Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll— Cast: Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jessi Glaser, Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Pamela Adlon, Kyle Goodman, Maya Rudolph, Andrew Rannells— Run Time: 30m

F is for Family: Season 5 (Nov. 25)

A look at the working-class family life in the 1970s that follows the Murphy family as they go through challenges, both mentally and physically. This series is filled with coarse humor as it tells the growth of every character.

You have a father working tirelessly for his family in a job he hates and a mother trying to live up to society’s expectations of what a wife and a parent is supposed to be. Then there are the four kids, each going through their own problems growing up.

This is basically a show about family dynamics and riddled with expletives, and themes on sex and drugs. It’s an underrated show that deserved its final outing with Season 5.

Creators: Bill Burr, Michael Price— Screenplay: Bill Burr, Michael Price— Cast: Bill Burr, Justin Long, Laura Dern, Debi Derryberry, Haley Reinhart, Mo Collins, Phil Hendrie, Joe Buck— Run Time: 30m

True Story (Nov. 24)

Comedian Kevin Hart steps outside of his norm in this dramatic miniseries in which he plays Kid, a fictional version of himself. What initially begins as a simple visit to his hometown of Philadelphia turns into a matter of life and death experience after his older brother Carlton (Wesley Snipes) gets him into trouble. Kid is someone capable of killing somebody to protect everything he’s built.

Hart serves as executive producer alongside Eric Newman, Narcos and Narcos: Mexico showrunner. “When life throws certain obstacles and challenges at you, sometimes you don’t even know what you’re capable of. And that was the biggest thing, we wanted to put our character in a situation where he could ultimately shock himself and truly step outside of his norm to become a person that he never had no idea that he could ever be,” Hart said of the series which he described as a “thriller.”

Creators: Eric Newman— Cast: Kevin Hart, Wesley Snipes, Theo Rossi, Abbey Paige, William Catlett, Michael James Bell, Billy Zane, Avery Kidd Waddell— Run Time: 7h

Narcos: Mexico: Season 3 (Nov. 5)

The third and final season of Narcos: Mexico paves way for the emerging bosses from Sinaloa, Tijuana, and Juárez cartels to take over after Season 2 saw Felix Gallardo behind bars. The story will continue with the existing timeline, set in the “90s when the globalization of the drug business ignites.”

It will explore the war that erupts after Gallardo’s arrest and “newly independent cartels struggle to survive political upheaval and escalating violence.” There will be conflict as these new generations of Mexican kingpins try to outdo each other.

Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho returns with this six-episode occult-themed series that deals with people’s morality and the ghouls that threaten their spiritual existence. It premiered to great reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival and is bound to become another hit for fans of the South Korean horror series Sweet Home and zombie flick Alive.

Otherworldly beings deliver grim messages about when people die and a death angel kills them on their death date. They also condemn people and take them to hell. Chaos eventually ensues as people start to panic. Amid the mayhem, a cult called The New Truth led by Jeong Jin-soo (Yoo Ah-In) rises but its suspicious nature has others wondering of its involvement in mysterious events.

Undercover: Season 3 (Nov. 21)

This Belgian-Dutch TV series was well-received globally and even became one of Netflix’s most popular foreign shows. It follows undercover Belgian police Bob Lemmas and Dutch cop Kim De Rooij as they infiltrate criminal businesses especially those in the drugs and arms trade.

In Season 3, Bob faces a possible prison sentence, but Patrick Diericks makes a tempting offer about his court case in exchange for going undercover again to unmask the mole behind Serkan’s gang. He takes on the offer to get his life back on the rails but is not prepared to encounter Ferry.

Ferry is out of jail but unable to return to his position at the top of the XTC-world as a new, stronger, and more intelligent gang led by the Dutch-Turkish married couple Serkan and Leyla Bulut have taken his place. When a young undercover agent is murdered, the police realize that they have a mole in their midst.
