A month packed with big IP
November is shaping up as one of the busiest months in streaming, with global platforms rolling out fantasy, horror, nostalgia and K-content ahead of year-end holidays. Netflix headlines the month with the final season of “Stranger Things”, set in 1987 as Hawkins faces new threats. Also arriving is Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of “Frankenstein”, featuring a high-profile cast and atmospheric horror direction.
Disney+ brings a mix of family films and Korean content, including a new generational sequel “Freakier Friday”, the revenge drama “The Manipulated”, and a documentary series chronicling the K-pop group Seventeen’s decade-long journey.

Romance, thrillers and unsettling futures
Other streamers are filling out the slate with glossy genre offerings: HBO Max introduces the romantic drama “Materialists” and the femme-fatale thriller “Dear X”. Prime Video returns with season two of “Maxton Hall”, while Apple TV+ launches “Pluribus”, a series exploring a surreal world transformed by a happiness-inducing virus.
For viewers in South Asia and Bangladesh, the lineup reflects how global platforms now function as blended ecosystems—bringing K-dramas, K-pop docs, Hollywood franchises and local favourites onto the same screens. November’s mix of familiar IP and bold new storytelling sets the tone for the year’s final streaming push.
