November has a rich history of delivering some of the most memorable series.
Just to rewind a bit, back in November 2003, the dysfunctional Bluth family graced the screens in the form of Arrested Development. A decade later, in November 2013, the quirky detectives of the 99th precinct of the NYPD were introduced to audiences in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Fast forward another ten years, people are eager to discover what November has in store for them this time. Here are shows that will keep you entertained and glued to the screens.
All the Light We Cannot See
All the Light We Cannot See is coming to Netflix on November 2, and it’s promised to be a gripping war drama based on Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
The story is set during World War II and follows two teenagers, Marie-Laure, a blind French girl portrayed by Aria Mia Loberti, and Werner, a German boy played by Louis Hofmann, who is reluctantly drawn into fighting for the Nazis. Marie-Laure’s father works as a locksmith at Paris’ Museum of Natural History; he’s portrayed by Mark Ruffalo.
As their paths cross in this tumultuous time, the mini-series explores their journeys and the profound impact of war on their lives.
The Buccaneers
The Buccaneers is an eight-episode drama that combines the elegance of the Gilded Age with the romance of Bridgerton. Drawing inspiration from Edith Wharton’s last incomplete novel, The Buccaneers introduces audiences to a spirited group of American girls. Among them are Nan St. George, Conchita Closson, Mabel Elmsworth, Lizzy Elmsworth, and Jinny St. George. The journey takes them to the glamorous debutante season in 1870s London. Their mission? To find sophisticated British husbands.
The Buccaneers was previously adapted for BBC television as a mini-series back in 1995. Now, it’s returning in a fresh format on Apple TV+ on November 8.
A Murder at the End of the World
Premiering on FX/Hulu on November 14, A Murder at the End of the World is a thrilling mystery series. It’s supposed to bring together elements of Knives Out, Mr. Robot, and the classic detective Nancy Drew solving a high-stakes crime.
Emma Corrin takes on the role of Darby Hart, a tech-savvy Gen Z amateur sleuth and hacker. She, along with eight other guests, receives an invitation from the reclusive billionaire Andy, played by Clive Owen, to a remote and stunning retreat. However, one of the guests is found dead under suspicious circumstances, and Darby must use her skills to unravel the mystery and prove it was murder.
The show is brought to life by the creative minds of Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, known for their work on The OA and serving as executive producers, writers, and directors.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is based on the popular graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley and features the original cast from the 2010 film reprising their roles.
The story follows Scott Pilgrim, who falls for the enchanting Ramona Flowers but has a unique challenge. He must battle her seven evil exes to win her heart. It’s a combination of romance, action, and comedy, just like the original movie.
The cast’s return adds extra charm, and with O’Malley involved in its development, you can expect it to stay true to the source material. So, if you loved the film, mark your calendars for November 17.
Obliterated
On November 30, Netflix is bringing Obliterated, an action thriller with a twist. An elite special forces team descends on Las Vegas to thwart a bomb threat. But after successfully defusing what they believed to be a real bomb, they decide to celebrate in true Vegas style.
Here’s where the oops comes in: they later realize the bomb they thought they had deactivated was actually a fake one. Now, in the midst of their revelry, they must race against time to track down and disarm the real bomb before disaster strikes. They’re still intoxicated, by the way. Audiences are promised a mix of action, suspense, and a touch of humor.
Intrigued? During your breaks from trading on Binomo, just sit back and enjoy these series at your own pace.
