Netflix's own November list leads with Steps, The Body, Possible Love, a new season of The Hunting Wives, The Mosquito Bowl, Heartland and the stand-up special Janelle James: How Romantic. Here are the main dates, by day, with the weekday so you can plan around work.

## What can you watch during Thanksgiving week?

Thanksgiving week is stacked, and the best nights are Wednesday through Friday. The Trials of Karen Read arrives Monday, Nov. 23, and Rob Lowe: The Outsider follows on Tuesday, Nov. 24. The Mosquito Bowl, the World War II drama about four college football stars who enlist in the Marines, lands Wednesday, Nov. 25.

On Thanksgiving Day itself, Thursday, Nov. 26, Netflix lists The Hunting Wives Season 2 along with Fool Night, a sci-fi series about humans turning into plants, and Toos: The Van der Valk Kidnapping, which is inspired by a true 1982 kidnapping. Then on Friday, Nov. 27, the same day as Black Friday, The Hunchback, Soul of Paris arrives. What's on Netflix reports a runtime of 1 hour 43 minutes, and Netflix's own page describes it as a story set in Paris in 1830, as cholera threatens the city, about a hunchback hunted for medical experiments. Netflix released the trailer on Oct. 30.

## What should you watch first?

Our take: start with Black Doves on Nov. 5 if you want something you can finish before the holiday rush, and save Heartland on Nov. 13 for a weekend. The Altruists on Nov. 19 is the one most likely to start arguments, since it dramatizes the real FTX story, and Netflix's own description frames the two leads as idealists. That is Netflix's framing, not ours.

If you only have time for one thing in Thanksgiving week, we would pick the movie. A film that runs under two hours is easier to fit between dinner and dishes than a full season, and The Hunchback comes out the day after the holiday, when most people finally sit down. This is opinion, and it depends on your household's tastes.

## What is leaving Netflix in November?

In a separate Tudum piece dated Oct. 22, Netflix said titles leaving the U.S. service in November include The Resident, The Lost City, The End of the F***ing World, 42: The True Story of an American Legend, American Sniper, Jumanji, Starship Troopers, Speed, Eat Pray Love, Broadchurch and all four seasons of The Big C. The pieces we read did not give a leave date for each title, so if one of them is on your list, watch it early in the month.

## What is confirmed and what is not?

- **Confirmed by Netflix's list:** the dates above for the U.S., the titles, and the descriptions we quote.
- **Not on the list:** times of day. Tudum shows calendar dates only, so we cannot say when a title appears on Nov. 5 or Nov. 26.
- **Reported elsewhere:** Cunk on Cinema is reported for Nov. 15 by Consequence and The Hollywood Reporter, but it does not appear on Tudum's Nov. 15 listing, which shows Insidious and Smile. Treat that date as reported, not confirmed by this list.
- **Still to come:** Netflix's Pride and Prejudice premieres Dec. 3, so it is not part of November.
