November is the month streaming services stop playing nice. Summer’s blockbuster leftovers have been cleared out, the holiday schedule hasn’t quite kicked in yet, and every platform is trying to get you on the sofa before the year ends. OSN+ has gone with a heavy slate this time: two brand-new crime and mystery series, four returning shows, one of the year’s most argued-about literary adaptations, and a run of awards-season films that have finally made it to streaming. There’s a lot of it, and as always, not all of it deserves your free time equally.
I’m not going to just copy out the release calendar. This is about where your watch hours should go. A subscription only earns its keep if you’re spending your evenings on the right things, so I’ll go through what’s arriving, who each title is for, and which ones you can safely leave in the queue for a rainy weekend in January.
M.I.A. is the binge-watch to clear your weekend for
The month’s headline new series is M.I.A., a revenge-driven crime drama arriving on November 6 with all nine episodes at once. The premise is straightforward: Etta Tiger Jonze loses her family to murder and decides that revenge alone isn’t enough. She wants to run South Florida’s criminal underworld. It’s the classic rise-of-a-kingpin story, except this time the person climbing the ladder is a young woman with nothing left to lose, which gives it a slightly different energy from the usual parade of brooding men in expensive suits.
The full-season drop is the real selling point here, and it shapes who this is for. If you love working through a crime story in two or three long sittings, the way you’d binge an open-world game’s main questline before touching the side content, M.I.A. is built for you. If you need a show to justify itself episode by episode, revenge thrillers can get repetitive in the middle stretch, because the hero has to keep finding new people to be angry at. Watch the first two episodes before you commit a whole Saturday to it.
The Good Daughter brings Karin Slaughter’s sister thriller to the screen
Arriving November 13, The Good Daughter adapts Karin Slaughter’s bestselling novel about sisters Samantha and Charlotte Quinn, whose family was torn apart by a violent attack nearly three decades before the story begins. Meghann Fahy, who broke out in The White Lotus, stars alongside Rose Byrne, which is about as strong a pairing as a mystery series could ask for. Slaughter’s books are known for not looking away from the brutality at their centre, so anyone expecting a cosy Sunday-evening whodunit should adjust their expectations now.
This is the pick for readers who like their thrillers built on character rather than twists. The appeal is two damaged siblings slowly working through what happened to them, not a puzzle-box finale that gets you shouting at the screen. If you’ve read the book, the fun is seeing how the adaptation handles the structure, which moves between past and present. If you haven’t, go in blind and don’t look anything up, because this kind of story depends on surprises you can only experience once.
The Gilded Age season 4 keeps the corsets tight and the knives sharper
HBO’s lavish period drama returns on November 2, and Bertha Russell is in a familiar spot: she has won the war for New York society and now has to deal with what winning cost her. Her marriage to George is under strain, and the family is paying for the choices she made on the way up. If you’ve followed Julian Fellowes since Downton Abbey, you know the pleasure here isn’t realism. It’s watching extremely well-dressed people destroy each other over dinner invitations and seating plans.
I’ll be honest about who should skip it. If the earlier seasons felt slow, a fourth season won’t suddenly turn this into Succession in bustles, because the show has always been about pacing, opulence and simmering tension rather than explosive plotting. For people who already love it, though, this is easily the most dependable comfort watch of the month. It’s also the show that gives OSN+ its HBO credentials, so if you’re keeping the subscription mainly for prestige TV, this is the one that justifies it.
St. Denis Medical, The Hunting Wives and Sweetpea round out the returning lineup
St. Denis Medical returns on November 3 for its third season. It’s the NBC mockumentary set in an underfunded Oregon hospital, and it fills the gap left by shows like The Office and Abbott Elementary: staff doing their best inside a system that clearly hates them. Episodes are short, the ensemble is warm, and it’s the ideal thing to put on when your brain has had enough after work. It won’t change your life, but a reliable sitcom in a schedule full of murder and trauma is worth more than people tend to admit.
The other two returns lean much darker. The Hunting Wives comes back on November 26 with Sophie and Margo pulled back together by resurfacing secrets, offering the same glossy, trashy Southern-noir pleasures as the first season, which is great if you know what you’re signing up for and baffling if you don’t. Sweetpea, with no fixed date beyond “this November,” brings back Ella Purnell’s Rhiannon Lewis, a former wallflower turned serial killer who now has a promotion, a romance and a copycat to deal with. Purnell was terrific in Fallout, and Sweetpea’s pitch-black British humour is the most distinctive tone in this month’s whole lineup.
Wuthering Heights is the movie event, and it will divide the room
The big film arrives on November 28: Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, with Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. If you’ve seen Promising Young Woman or Saltburn, you already know Fennell doesn’t do respectful heritage cinema. She does provocative, stylised, deliberately excessive filmmaking, and this adaptation leans into the toxic, all-consuming obsession at the heart of Emily Brontë’s novel rather than softening it into a tasteful period romance.
That’s why I’d call it essential for some viewers and a hard pass for others. Brontë purists who want a faithful version of the book may be irritated by the liberties taken, while people who loved Saltburn’s maximalism will probably have a great time. Either way, it’s one of the most-discussed literary adaptations in recent memory, and seeing it gives you an opinion to bring to the argument. Treat it like the controversial final boss of a game everyone is debating online: you may not love it, but you’ll want to have played it yourself.
The awards-season films are where the real value hides
The quieter story this month is the run of critically celebrated films landing on November 1. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, from director Mary Bronstein, stars Rose Byrne as a mother dealing with her child’s mysterious illness, an absent husband and a growing hostility toward her own therapist. Byrne won Best Leading Performance at the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival for the role. It’s an anxiety attack shot as a film, darkly funny and deliberately uncomfortable, and it makes a great double bill with The Good Daughter if you want a Rose Byrne weekend.
Sorry, Baby, written and directed by and starring Eva Victor, is gentler but no less sharp. It follows a young woman struggling to move forward after a traumatic event while everyone around her seems to have carried on, and it won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance in 2025. Lee, also arriving November 1, has Kate Winslet as Lee Miller, the model turned war photographer who documented the frontlines of the Second World War. If you’ve been meaning to catch up on the festival films you skipped in cinemas, these three are the strongest reason to open the app this month.
The crowd-pleasers, tearjerkers and controversy magnets
King Richard arrives on November 19, with Will Smith in the Oscar-winning role of Richard Williams, the father whose unconventional plan helped turn Venus and Serena Williams into tennis legends. It’s a polished, inspiring sports drama that works well as a family film night for older kids and teenagers, even if it gives its subject a fairly flattering portrait. Hachi: A Dog’s Tale lands on November 11 with Richard Gere as a professor whose loyal Akita waits for him at the station every day. It’s based on the true story of Hachikō from Japan, and it has a well-earned reputation for reducing grown adults to tears, so keep the tissues nearby.
Sound of Freedom, also arriving November 1, is the most politically charged title of the month. It dramatises a mission to rescue children from traffickers and is inspired by real events. The film was a surprise box office success on its release in 2023, but it also drew significant debate over how accurately it portrays its real-life subject and the issue of trafficking. Watch it as a tense thriller if it interests you, but treat its claims as Hollywood dramatisation rather than documentary fact, and look into the wider discussion if the subject is something you care about.
Arabic content, kids’ shows and the comfort-food collection
For Arabic-language viewers, Tag arrives on November 13. It’s an action comedy with a fantasy twist about twins Tag and Haroun discovering supernatural abilities, and it’s pitched as family-friendly chaos rather than serious superhero drama. Younger viewers get My Weird School from November 1, a Nickelodeon series based on Dan Gutman’s popular book series in which the teachers turn out to be literally extraterrestrial, plus the 2026 Kids’ Choice Awards on November 19, which is pure slime-covered pop-culture fun for households with young fans.
Then there’s the Daytime Movie Collection, rolling out from November 1. It’s a batch of feel-good romances with titles like A Machu Picchu Proposal, Everglades Romance and Hats Off to Love. Let’s be clear about what these are: very predictable, very cosy, very low-stakes made-for-TV romances, the streaming version of a warm blanket. They’re not why you subscribe, but if you have a partner or parent who loves this genre, the collection quietly adds value for everyone sharing the account.
Bottom Line
OSN+ has an unusually well-balanced November, but how much value you get depends on what you watch. Crime and thriller fans get the most from the month, with M.I.A., The Good Daughter, The Hunting Wives and Sweetpea covering everything from gritty revenge to glossy pulp. Film lovers should focus on the November 1 festival titles and the Wuthering Heights debate at the end of the month, while families get dependable picks in King Richard, Hachi, Tag and the Nickelodeon content.
