Netflix November Lineup: From Horror Hits to High-Stakes Action

A Month of Cinematic Variety

Netflix has unveiled its content slate for November 2026, offering subscribers a diverse selection of films ranging from adrenaline-fueled action classics to modern horror sensations and historical dramas. Whether you are looking for nostalgic 80s and 90s hits or recent box office successes, the platform’s latest additions cater to a wide spectrum of tastes.

Action and Comedy Classics

The month begins with a heavy dose of nostalgia, particularly for fans of late-20th-century cinema. Starting November 1, viewers can revisit the high-stakes thrills of Air Force One. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the film features Harrison Ford as a U.S. President forced to defend his aircraft against a terrorist threat portrayed by Gary Oldman. The film remains a staple of the action genre, anchored by one of cinema’s most iconic lines.

For those seeking mountain-top tension, Cliffhanger also arrives on November 1. The film stars Sylvester Stallone as a mountain-rescue ranger grappling with trauma while attempting to thwart a criminal heist in the Colorado Rockies. On the lighter side, the 1980s comedy Weekend at Bernie’s joins the platform. The film follows two finance employees, played by Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman, who find themselves in a bizarre predicament after discovering their CEO, Terry Kiser, has died, leading them to maintain the ruse that he is still alive.

Award-Winning Drama and Horror

Also arriving on November 1 is Whiplash, the acclaimed drama from writer-director Damien Chazelle. The film, which originated as a short, depicts the intense and often abusive relationship between a determined music student, Miles Teller, and his demanding instructor, J.K. Simmons. The performance earned Simmons an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the film itself received a Best Picture nomination.

Horror fans have something to look forward to on November 17 with the arrival of Obsession. Directed by Curry Barker, this summer hit centers on a character named Bear, played by Michael Johnston, whose wish for his friend Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette, to fall in love with him takes a dark and unexpected turn.

New Originals and Animated Adventures

Towards the end of the month, Netflix will debut The Mosquito Bowl on November 25. Directed by Peter Berg and based on the book by Buzz Bissinger, the film tells the story of college football stars who transition into service as Marines, playing a final game before heading into the Battle of Okinawa. The cast includes Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Galitzine, Ray Nicholson, and Pat McAfee.

Finally, the month concludes with a major family-friendly release. On November 30, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie arrives on the platform. As a sequel to the successful Super Mario Bros. Movie, this installment continues the adventures of Mario and Luigi, voiced by Chris Pratt and Charlie Day, as they explore further reaches of the game’s expansive universe.
