November is a huge movie month for Netflix as awards season gets underway. Among the prominent new features the streamer is launching this month that are worth checking out is the Sean Baker-produced Taiwanese drama Left-Handed Girl (Nov. 28). But perhaps the most high-profile is Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Frankenstein, which hits the platform on Nov. 7. Starring Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and Jacob Elordi as the monster, the feature debuted to rapturous acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, including a 14-minute standing ovation, and boasts a critic score of 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Launching on Nov. 10 on Netflix is all-new episodes of the long-running and beloved children's TV show. The streamer came to the rescue in May by inking a deal with Sesame Workshop for new episodes of the long-running children's show, just months after Warner Bros. Discovery opted not to renew its output deal for the program. On Nov. 12, Netflix releases the doc Being Eddie, an intimate look at the life and career of comedy legend Eddie Murphy. Joining Murphy in the doc are Jerry Seinfeld, Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross and Tracy Morgan. Being Eddie is directed by Angus Wall and produced by John Davis, John Fox, Charisse Hewitt-Webster, Terry Leonard and Kent Kubena. Two TV titans link up for Netflix's new prestige series The Beast in Me that debuts on Nov. 13. Starring Emmy-winners Claire Danes and Welsh superstar Matthew Rhys, the eight-episode show is a dramatic thriller about a man named Nile (Rhys) - previously suspected of killing his wife - moves into a house near Danes' Wiggs, a grieving author. Brittany Snow and Natalie Morales round out the main cast, along with guest stars Jonathan Banks, David Lyons, Tim Guinee, Hettienne Park, Deidre O'Connell, Aleyse Shannon, Will Brill, Kate Burton, Bill Irwin, Amir Arison and Julie Ann Emery. Also on Nov. 13, Netflix releases action series Last Samurai Standing, a project that has the strong potential to be the breakout Asian hit for the streamer in November. A live-action TV series adaptation of the Japanese manga series written by Shogo Imamura, the logline for Last Samurai Standing reads: "Set in the late 19th century during the Meiji period, as the age of the samurai approached its end, Last Samurai Standing takes place at the Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto. Come nightfall, 292 samurai warriors gather, lured by the promise of a grand prize of 100 billion yen. Among them is our protagonist, Shujiro Saga (Junichi Okada), who enters this dangerous game with one goal: to save his ailing wife and child." On Nov. 14, Netflix debuts the prolific Richard Linklater's latest feature project for the streamer, Nouvelle Vague. The Cannes-premiering dramedy is the filmmaker's love letter to the highly influential French New Wave movement in cinema, and fictionally depicts the life of Jean-Luc Godard during the production of his classic film Breathless in 1959. The film stars Guillaume Marbeck as Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo. Nov. 21 sees the launch of another Oscar hopeful for Netflix, Clint Bentley's period drama Train Dreams. The film stars Aussie actor Joel Edgerton as a man who builds railways in the 1900s in the Pacific Northwest, and is more a meditation on a rapidly changing America. The cast also includes Felicity Jones, Clifton Collins Jr., Kerry Condon and William H. Macy. After premiering at Sundance this year, the film has steadily racked up critical acclaim, and The Hollywood Reporter's awards editor predicts the film has a solid chance for recognition in the best picture, best director and best actor categories. And on Nov. 26, is the debut of the first part of the final seas
