Whether you are chasing courtroom intrigue, high-school rivalry drama, or a mythic quest, the month of November offers a solid slate of options for every viewing mood.
New television seasons launching in November
The All’s Fair courtroom drama returns to Hulu with a three-episode launch on November 4. The episode batch introduces fresh alliances and a bombshell that threatens the very foundation of the law firm.

Complementing the visual series, Hulu also releases the All’s Fair Podcast on the same day, delivering behind-the-scenes commentary from the cast and creators.
Hulu’s Rivals continues its second season with Part 2, debuting three episodes on November 11. The storyline follows Tony Baddingham and Declan O’Hara as they vie for the coveted Cotswolds crown while personal demons and festive chaos swirl around them. New episodes arrive on November 18 and 25, wrapping the season with a blend of love-triangles, party-induced mayhem, and high-stakes competition.
On Disney+ and Hulu, the mythic adventure Percy Jackson and the Olympians kicks off Season 3 on November 20 with a double-episode premiere.

Hulu’s November film roster blends comedy, drama and holiday classics. The month opens with A Bad Moms Christmas (Nov 1), following three over-extended mothers navigating festive pressures while dealing with their own mothers. The critically praised Banshees of Inisherin, also arriving on Nov 1, explores a sudden rift between lifelong friends, delivering dark humor and emotional depth.
Action fans can dive into Meg 2: The Trench (Nov 1), where a research crew battles colossal sea creatures after a deep-sea mining operation goes awry. For a lighter tone, Why Him? (Nov 1) pairs Bryan Cranston’s protective dad with James Franco’s awkward tech billionaire suitor in a rivalry-filled romance comedy.
Holiday cheer dominates the second half of the month. Hulu adds beloved seasonal staples such as A Christmas Story, Four Christmases, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and the animated classic The Polar Express on November 20. Meanwhile, family audiences can enjoy Paddington in Peru (Nov 15) and the whimsical Mummies (Nov 26), both offering adventurous journeys suitable for younger viewers.
Live sports, podcasts and special events
ESPN continues to stream live sporting action throughout November, featuring a robust schedule of football, basketball and international competitions. While specific match-ups shift week to week, the platform promises uninterrupted access to the major leagues, ensuring fans never miss a crucial play.
Beyond scripted content, Hulu and Disney+ are expanding their audio offerings. The Mess Around with Hannah and Lamorne podcast releases new episodes every Tuesday, providing a nostalgic dive into the set of New Girl. Additionally, the quirky We’re Here to Help show debuts on both platforms, where Jake Johnson and Gareth Reynolds dispense unsolicited advice to callers, mixing humor with genuine attempts at guidance.
