Netflix, Paramount Plus, Disney Plus, Amazon, Hulu, Peacock, Apple TV and HBO Max plan to add dozens of new TV shows and movies this weekend (November 6-9, 2025). Here are the five to watch, in my humble opinion:

Frankenstein (2025) – Netflix Original Film
Release Date: Friday, November 7.
Netflix is bringing new life to the old boy with Oscar Isaac starring as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the man who taunts the gods by transforming a decaying corpse to a living creature. The film, a remake of several earlier Frankenstein tales, including the original 1931 classic starring Boris Karloff, is directed by Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Nightmare Alley), a visionary filmmaker who should give this dusty ditty a fresh perspective worth viewing. The supporting cast includes Jacob Elordi (Elvis, Euphoria) as The Creature, Scream Queen Mia Goth (Pearl) as Dr. Frankenstein’s girlfriend, and Christoph Walz as the doc’s money man.

Death By Lighting – Netflix Original Series
Release Date: Thursday, November 6
Michael A. Shannon stars as the 20th president of the United States, James A. Garfield, who was assassinated by a disappointed office seeker, played by Matthew Macfadyen (Succession). The series, which chronicles the events of the Garfieldpresidency leading up to the assassination, is a different look for Netflix which tends to favor modern murder stories (particularly serial killers). But I’m looking forward to it (and hope that Netflix does a better job with the story than Apple did with Manhunt, the Lincoln-Booth conspiracy series.) Both Shannon and Macfadyen are intriguing actors and the supporting cast includes Betty Gilpin as Mrs. Garfield and Nick Offerman as vice president Chester Arthur.

Pluribus – Apple TV Original
Release Date: Friday, November 7 (First two episodes)
Pluribus stars Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul) as the unhappiest person in the world in this much-anticipated sci-fi series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico (the location for Breaking Bad and Gilligan’s Better Call Saul), Seehorn (pictured above) plays a writer named Carol who somehow manages to avoid a global virus that transforms everyone into a happy and contented individual. Her non-conformity provokes concern among the populace and the president (Peter Bergman) who promises to find a ‘solution’ for her condition. Meanwhile, Carol aims to persuade the world that being ‘virus happy’ is not what it’s cracked up to be. The show clearly is influenced by the covid-era politics that often pitted neighbor vs. neighbor and it will be fascinating to see how Gilligan handles this. Both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul delivered unflinching displays of individual human foibles and now he will take on the entire world. (The Apple will premiere the first two episodes of the nine-episode series on November 7 with single episodes added every Friday until the finale on December 28.)

All Her Fault (Peacock Original Series)
Release Date: Thursday, November 6
Sarah Snook (Succession) stars as a Mom whose dream life turns nightmarish when her son disappears after a play date. The eight-episode thriller series looks like a great showcase for Snook who shined so brightly in HBO’s Succession. The standout supporting cast includes Dakota Fanning, Michael Peña and Abby Elliott (The Bear).

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony – Disney Plus
Release Date: Saturday, November 8 at 8 p.m. ET.
The Rock HOF this year will induct Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, OutKast, Soundgarden and The White Stripes. Performers and presenters during the live show will include Beck, Elton John, Olivia Rodrigo, David Letterman and Brandi Carlile.
