Looking for something new to watch on Netflix? You’ve come to the right place. Here are the best new shows and movies releasing on Netflix the week of Nov. 6-12, 2020.
It’s a pretty light week on the ol’ Flixter, with twelve new titles, none of which seem like blockbusters. But YA rom-com series Dash & Lily looks cute, adult animated war miniseries The Liberator looks cool, and the usual mix of international fare, kid stuff, and random odds ‘n’ sods looks pretty good. A quiet week, but a solid week.
All titles debut on Friday, Nov. 6 unless otherwise noted. Here’s what came out on Netflix last week.
If you’re looking for even more hand-picked recommendations, we have plenty. If you’d like to see the best of what’s coming out on Netflix in November, here are our Editors’ Picks for Netflix’s November releases and everything that’s coming to the service in the month.
The Biggest Releases
Dash & Lily, Season 1
Ah, to be young and beautiful in a fetishistically idealized New York City at Christmastime and carrying on an extended courtship with someone you’ve never seen in real life via notes exchanged in a secret notebook at the Strand bookstore. A thing like that could go very wrong. But by the end of the trailer, Dash (Austin Abrams) and Lily (Midori Francis) have already worked it out. This romantic comedy is based on a young adult book series called Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares. It’s going to make 14-year-olds who watch this decide they want to go to college at NYU. (Tuesday, Nov. 10)
The Liberator
Veteran’s Day will see the release of this four-part World War II animated limited series. The most notable thing about The Liberator is its animation technique, which is a new technology called “Enhanced Hybrid Animation,” a combination of CGI and live-action that’s similar to rotoscoping. Bradley James stars as Felix Sparks, an Army officer who plays by his own rules as he leads his men in a 500-day campaign to liberate Europe. It looks like it will be epic on a scale that wouldn’t be possible in a live-action series without spending more than a hundred million dollars. (Trailer / Wednesday, Nov. 11)

The Best New TV Shows of 2020 to Binge-Watch
