Seven television and streaming shows arrive or return in the first week of November 2026, spanning new originals, returning hits, and holiday programming across Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, MGM+, Hallmark Channel, and Lifetime.
New Netflix Arrivals
Three titles land on Netflix for the weekend of October 30 through November 1, according to Tom’s Guide. A Couple of Lies, a four-part Swedish psychological thriller adapted from Stefan Ahnhem’s best-selling crime novel, follows two married couples whose home swap between Stockholm and Sicily turns toxic as secrets and betrayals emerge. Dangerous Liaisons, an eight-episode period drama that first aired on Starz in 2022, serves as a pulpy prelude to Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s 1782 novel, chronicling the early days of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont in pre-revolutionary Paris. The second season of Happy’s Place, the Reba McEntire-led workplace comedy, arrives on Netflix on Sunday, November 1, with all 18 episodes available; season 3 premiered on NBC on October 23.
Prime Video Premieres and Returning Hits
Prime Video fields five noteworthy series for the first week of November, according to ScreenRant. Campus Drivers, a six-episode romantic drama, and Devil’s Crest, an anime series blending dark fantasy and science fiction, both premiere Friday, November 6. Campus Drivers follows a university student named Lois whose heartbreak leads her to the creator of the most popular social media app on campus. Devil’s Crest centers on two characters who enter a virtual reality called Actual Magic where the game and reality merge.
The horror series Carrie, an eight-part reimagining of Stephen King’s novel from Mike Flanagan, remains one of the most-viewed series on Prime Video worldwide and has already been renewed for a second season. The Terminal List season 2, which premiered October 21, is the number-one most-watched show on the platform worldwide; Chris Pratt returns as former Navy SEAL James Reece in the eight-episode season.
