New streaming movies are crowding November, and Misty Green is the clearest pivot point: Chris Rock’s film moves to Netflix after its Toronto International Film Festival debut in September and a theatrical release last month. Rosalind Eleazar leads the cast as a struggling Hollywood actor who gets one last shot at redemption, giving Netflix another prestige title for a month already heavy with awards-season traffic.
Netflix’s November slate
23 movies made the November streaming roundup, with Netflix carrying several of the month’s most visible titles. That list includes Chris Rock’s Misty Green, Lee Chang-dong’s Possible Love, and Peter Berg’s The Mosquito Bowl, while Netflix is also lining up original holiday movies and international awards-season hopefuls. The platform is clearly using November to stack recognizable names and recent festival titles in one window, the kind of programming that keeps a streamer in the conversation when viewers are choosing what to watch next.

Rock, Eleazar, and the wrinkle
Rosalind Eleazar in Misty Green is the kind of performance that gives a streamer a hook beyond the title itself. Variety called it “explosively entertaining and savagely authentic,” and that kind of critical language helps a film make the jump from festival title to at-home watchlist without needing a box-office safety net.
A24 released Misty Green in theaters last month, even though A24 has an exclusive streaming deal with HBO Max. The film still lands on Netflix because of the director’s deep ties with the platform, which makes this release feel less like a tidy rights story and more like a reminder that festival-to-streaming paths can bend when a filmmaker has the right relationship in place.
Thanksgiving, Peacock, and HBO Max
Tony arrives on HBO Max just in time for Thanksgiving after a modest summer box-office run that grossed nearly $20 million worldwide. Dominic Sessa stars as Anthony Bourdain, and Variety’s review singled out his “movie-star performance” and “the enchanted spirit of discovery that recalls ‘Adventureland’ and the films of Richard Linklater.”
Possible Love adds another awards-season title to the month after winning the grand jury prize at the Venice Film Festival. Lee Chang-dong directs Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung and Cho Yeo-Jeong in a story about two couples whose lives intermix, while Peacock will stream Paul Greengrass’ The Uprising ahead of the holiday movie season. That one is set in the aftermath of the Black Plague, with King Richard II levying brutal taxes.
For viewers, the practical move is simple: November is not a slow month, and the highest-value titles are spread across Netflix, HBO Max and Peacock rather than concentrated on one service. The exact streaming dates for the individual movies are not spelled out, so the slate works best as a watchlist of what is coming rather than a day-by-day calendar.
