NOVEMBER STEAMY STREAMING

BY: Georgia Davis

Get ready to binge, PROVOKRs. November has an insane lineup of newbies, oldies, and new seasons coming to streaming platforms. Choices include Tiger King 2 to The Great and Kiera Knightley in Anna Karenina, so you won’t want to leave your couch this month.
 
NETFLIX
The Harder They Fall
The Harder They Fall is a Western and features an all-Black cast — something not done before. Choosing Black artists in a genre that rarely casts Black actors is genius. And it brings together some of the biggest names in the biz right now: Idris Elba, Regina King, Lakeith Stanfield, Jonathan Majors, and Zazie Beetz. It premieres on Netflix on November 3.

 

Passing
Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga are the pair we’ve been waiting to see. The black-and-white venture from actress Rebecca Hall is a powerful film about mixed-race childhood friends who reconnect as adults. Through how they live their lives, we get a glimpse into the “privilege of ambiguity,” as Thompson so eloquently puts it. Watch it beginning on November 10.

 

Tiger King 2
You thought the story about Joe Exotic was over, but it’s just getting started. Tiger King 2 features more mayhem, madness, and murder — so much so that Carole Baskin is suing Netflix for using footage of her. This season follows the other big cat owners who also have dirty secrets. It premieres on November 17.

 

Bruised
So many women are making their directorial debut this year. Among them is Halle Berry. The dynamite actress is putting herself in the ring — literally. She stars as a boxer trying to make a comeback and balance her newfound life. Bruised drops on Netflix on November 24.

 

A River Runs Through It
If you want to see a young Brad Pitt, then you have to watch Robert Redford’s A River Runs Through It. It follows fly-fishing brothers in Montana, so you get that rugged feel, too. It comes to Netflix on November 1.

 

It Follows
Yeah, the spooky season is over, but anytime is a good time for a horror film. It Follows is nearly every millennial’s favorite horror film — and for good reason. We won’t spoil this one for you. You just have to watch starting on November 1.

 

HULU
The Great/Season 2
Huzzah! The Great returns, and with Catherine (Elle Fanning) pregnant. Nicholas Hoult is also back, which means we get to see one of our favorite duos on Hulu again. It returns on November 19.

 

HBO MAX
Eyes Wide Shut
We miss the days of big stars leading erotic thrillers. Eyes Wide Shut is one of them. Stanley Kubrick’s last film is highly divisive, but we won’t pass up an opportunity to see Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman on screen together.

 

The Sex Lives of College Girls
HBO loves to push boundaries with its content. The promiscuously titled series The Sex Lives of College Girls is flirtatious, fun, and sexy. It premieres on November 18.

 

Anna Karenina
You know that we’ll always tell you when a Kiera Knightley film becomes available on streaming. This period drama starring Knightley, Jude Law, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is off-the-charts sexy.

 

AMAZON PRIME
Hanna/Season 3
The child assassin is back for season 3 on Amazon Prime. Hanna, based on the movie of the same name starring Saoirse Ronan, continues to captivate viewers with its mysterious plot. You won’t want to miss it when it returns on November 24.
