Netflix November 2026 highlights – Netflix Australia’s November line-up spans an Australian sci-fi film, a returning spy thriller, new international dramas, festive films, live sport and a broad catalogue of familiar cinema titles.
The Australian-made Allen arrives on 12 November, while Black Doves returns for a second season on 5 November. Later in the month, The Altruists and The Mosquito Bowl bring sharply different dramas, and Netflix’s first Thanksgiving Eve NFL game is scheduled for 10am AEDT on 26 November. For local subscribers, the slate is notably wider than the handful of headline releases: it also includes series from Europe, Asia and Latin America, documentaries, children’s titles and licensed films.
Dates below are Australian Netflix dates supplied for November 2026. They can change, so check the service when you are ready to watch. Here are the major releases first, followed by the full month-by-month category guide.
November’s biggest Netflix arrivals

When that old friend returns, the reunion brings a secret with potentially catastrophic consequences. The cast includes T.J. Power, Charlotte Nicdao, Josh Helman, Emily Barclay and Benedict Hardie. It is the clearest Australian production in this month’s announced slate.
Black Doves season two — 5 November

Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw return, with Sarah Lancashire, Andrew Buchan, Neve Campbell, Ella Lily Hyland, Gabrielle Creevy, Babou Ceesay, Sam Riley and Ambika Mod among the announced cast. The thriller is one of November’s earliest returning-series releases.
A Dog’s Perfect Christmas — 4 November

The ensemble includes Dennis Quaid, Milo Ventimiglia, Brooke Lena Johnson, Thomas Haden Church, Mary Steenburgen, Kathleen Rose Perkins and Jennifer Tilly. Its Christmas Eve deadline gives the family story an early-November start to holiday viewing.
Possible Love — 6 November
Director Lee Chang-dong’s South Korean film brings together a laid-off worker and his wife with a documentary filmmaker and her spouse. Their encounters force hidden desires into the open. The cast includes Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung and Cho Yeo-jeong, making this one of the month’s notable international film releases.
