My Policeman 

Set in 1950s Britain, My Policeman follows Tom (Harry Styles) through an emotionally- wrenching journey of forbidden desires, passion, and a love triangle for the ages. The storyline is as engaging as can be. After Tom falls in love and marries a school teacher, he finds himself in a same-sex relationship in an era where it was illegal. Already intrigued, aren’t you?

Release date: November 4, Amazon Prime Video

Enola Holmes 2 

Enola Holmes 2 (starring Millie Bobby Brown) follows the titular character as she sets up her very own detective agency. However, she soon learns that no matter how good her deductive skills are, it’s not as easy. Just when she was about to shut shop, she gets her very first case—finding a missing girl. It’s the keep-your-brains-aside feel-good watch you need after a long day at work.

Release date: November 4, Netflix 

Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me 

Everyone loves a good celebrity documentary and this one is exceptionally gripping. It spans six years of Selena Gomez’s life as she battles with mental illness, lupus, and her own soaring fame. *Runs to make popcorn*

Release date: November 4, Apple TV+

The Crown (Season 5)

After a two-year hiatus, the much-awaited show is returning to our screens with the fifth season. With an entirely new cast and a plotline that covers a rather contentious time in British Royal history (Charles vs Diana), we can’t wait to curl up on a Sunday afternoon and binge.

Release date: November 9, Netflix

Falling For Christmas

Lindsay Lohan is making a comeback and we can’t stop humming jingle bell rock (for two reasons—the trailer and Mean Girls). Falling for Christmas is about a rich, entitled heiress, who loses her memory and finds herself living with a widower and his daughter.

What is Christmas without a warm and fuzzy rom-com?

Release date: November 10, Netflix 

Monica, O My Darling 

Starring Rajkummar Rao, Radhika Apte and Huma Qureshi, this dark comedy revolves around a young man desperately trying to succeed. A passionate affair leads to an evil scheme. Will he be able to crack the ‘perfect murder’ code? If the trailer and this description aren’t enticing enough, we should probably mention that this movie is made by the makers of Andhadhun.

Release date: November 11, Netflix

The Santa Clauses 

A cuddle-up-with-a-hot chocolate holiday watch, The Santa Clauses is a six-episode miniseries based on The Santa Clause franchise about Scott Calvin realising on his 65th birthday that he can’t do the job forever. When the chance to retire comes up, he grabs it and goes looking for a worthy successor.
