November is here, if you can believe it. It’s a month of turkey dinners (and leftovers), ridiculous sales, and most importantly, appreciating what we have. For this week, at least, it’s about what’s new on Netflix this week. As usual, we’re here to let you know what’s worth checking out so you can build a full plan to tackle new shows and movies before the in-laws start shuffling in.
This week’s major standout is the streaming debut of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the animated blockbuster sequel that dazzled audiences this summer.
Also new on Netflix is the film All the Light We Cannot See, an adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s harrowing Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. It follows a man and his blind daughter as they work their way through German-occupied France, determined to keep a legendary diamond out of the Nazis’ hands.
This week's new on Netflix slate also brings the return of reality series Selling Sunset with its seventh season. The brawls are bigger, the real estate is hotter, and the girls are just as dramatic as ever before. This time around, it looks like we’re in for a messy showdown between Chrishell and Nicole, and who-knows-what else.
Below, check out our day-by-day rundown of what's new on Netflix this week.

Chrishell, contemplating a life-altering decision to join G Flip in Australia, finds herself increasingly isolated, her friendships with Mary, Jason, and others hanging by a thread. This season, it looks like there's some sort of sinister plot brewing in the shadows, while Chrishell's emotional turmoil takes center stage.

And, oh yeah, real estate.

Insidious: The Red Door
The Insidious franchise has been spinning its wheel for almost a decade, but after a couple of mostly uneventful prequels, Insidious: The Red Door (which is the fifth installment in the series) is the long-requested direct sequel to 2013's Insidious: Chapter Two. We pick up with the Lambert family roughly nine years after the events of the aforementioned predecessor. Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson, who also makes his directorial debut here) is now divorced from his wife Renai (Rose Byrne) and has had the memories of his previous possession suppressed. Their college-bound son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) has also had his memory wiped in order to forget the trauma of his childhood, but when demons of the past reappear, the duo are dragged back into the nightmare world of The Further and must confront their family curse once and for all. - Rory Mellon
