What to Watch in November 2024

Best New Movies
1. Gladiator II
Travel to ancient Rome with Gladiator II, the sequel to the epic tale set sixteen years after Maximus’s (played by Russell Crowe back in 2000) legendary sacrifice. Starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington — and a few familiar faces — Gladiator II is packed with non-stop battles amongst humans and sometimes even animals, par for the course with a movie set primarily in the Colosseum. We highly recommend watching its predecessor first before this one just to stave off any confusion.
Now showing in theaters near you.
2. Wicked
The wait is finally over: Wicked, the beloved Broadway phenomenon, has made it to the big screen! Explore the untold story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good — are they rivals, or aren’t they? Set at Shiz University, Wicked is brought to life by the powerhouse performances of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, showing there’s much more to the Emerald City than Dorothy and her ruby slippers. Be sure to learn the words to Defying Gravity before heading to the cinema!

3. Moana 2
Moana is making waves once again with a highly anticipated sequel hitting screens this November! Moana 2 picks up three years after the original, reuniting us with our favorite wayfinder and the ever-changing demigod Maui. This time, the stakes are higher, the challenges tougher, and the adventures more thrilling as Moana ventures into uncharted seas to face daring new enemies. Moana 2 promises the same heartfelt moments and catchy, unforgettable songs as the first film, and we can’t wait to join the kids in line to watch it!
In theaters on November 27.

4. Silo Season 2
Season 2 of Silo returns with even more tension as Juliette, played by Rebecca Ferguson, continues her fight to uncover the truth about the underground 144-level silo (housing all that’s left of humanity) and its sinister origins. This season, rebellion brews in the tightly regulated society as secrets unravel, and new characters join the narrative to complicate matters further. We can’t get enough of the worldbuilding in this phenomenal dystopian series, so watch it to be in the same boat.
The first two episodes are now streaming on AppleTV+.
5. Dune: Prophecy
Amid the epic scale of Dune and Dune: Part Two, it’s hard not to wonder about the secretive and powerful organisation of space nuns, the Bene Gesserit. Since diving into the full Dune novel collection might take a while, we’re beyond thrilled that HBO’s Dune: Prophecy provides a deep dive into how the Bene Gesserit built its power and influence. Set 10,000 years before Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), Dune: Prophecy will be the perfect fix for fans until the next film arrives.
The first two episodes are now streaming on MAX.
6. Interior Chinatown
Interior Chinatown offers a hilarious yet insightful journey into the world of stereotypes, identity, and Hollywood’s portrayal of Asian Americans. The story centers on Willis Wu, a man relegated to playing the “Generic Asian Man” in the fictional TV show Black and White, stuck in roles like “Delivery Guy” while secretly yearning to be the leading man. When Willis witnesses a crime, he finally steps into the spotlight, unraveling a web of family secrets and a hidden criminal world. Can he handle being the “Kung Fu Guy”?
Now streaming on Hulu.
