At the beginning of (and during) each month, Netflix adds new movies and TV shows to its library. Below, you’ll find our November 2017 recommendations along with a full list of new titles. For more comprehensive coverage of the best movies and TV shows available on Netflix and elsewhere, check out Vulture’s What to Stream Now hub, which is updated throughout the month.

This Month’s Highlights

Available November 3

For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale: Alias Grace

We had no intention of spotlighting three Netflix costume dramas in one month, but them’s the breaks. First, this is one of the streaming service’s worst months on record for back-catalogue releases. Second, Alias Grace is based on a Margaret Atwood novel, with the terrifically smart Sarah Polley writing and producing and American Psycho’s Mary Harron at the helm — three of the most ingenious women in entertainment, working together on something special. And third, this thing looks damn compelling, a 19th-century psychological murder mystery with an amnesiac Irish immigrant maid at its center. Available November 3.

Available November 17

For the Oscar watchers: Mudbound

Netflix’s first true shot at gold glory comes courtesy of Dee Rees, the superbly talented filmmaker behind Pariah. Here, Rees works on a much larger canvas to adapt Hillary Jordan’s novel about the relationship between white landowners and black sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta at the end of World War II. Reviews at Sundance were ecstatic, particularly for stars Carey Mulligan, Jason Clarke, and Mary J. Blige. If Rees can score a Best Director nomination for Mudbound, it will be a welcome and well-deserved triumph. Available November 17.

Available November 22

For the Western crowd: Godless

Like a mix of Deadwood and Johnny Guitar, this new seven-part series from co-creator and executive producer Steven Soderbergh might be the first Western that moms will love more than dads. It’s set in a frontier town where all the men have died in a mining accident, leaving the women — gun-toting, tobacco-chewing forces of nature — to uphold law and order when some new outlaw dudes saddle into town with all their drama. It’s hard to pass up the chance to see Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery get royally nasty with a shotgun. (And if you’re sick of histories by now, you can go watch The Boss Baby. No one’s stopping you.) Available November 22.
