Netflix is adding 23 new movies and shows this week (Nov. 12, 2023)

With Thanksgiving only next week, the holiday season is officially in full swing, and Netflix is celebrating with one of their most-anticipated Christmas movies. You can also look for a new season of The Crown and a new documentary.

Christmastime is here (or at least close), and Netflix is bringing Best. Christmas. Ever! on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023. The movie stars Brandy Norwood, Heather Graham, Jason Biggs, Matt Cedeño, Wyatt Hunt, Madison Skye Validum, Nadia Sine, and Abby Villasmil. The film follows old friends as they find their friendship put to the test over the holiday.

Ready for The Crown to finally return? The royal series is back for season 6, part 1 on Thursday, Nov 16. This season will show more of Princess Diana’s life as it comes to its tragic end. It will also continue to show Queen Elizabeth II’s life and reign, as well as 9/11, Prince William’s first year of college, and the death of Princess Margaret. This is not a season for the faint of heart. It’s going to be a lot of tears.

Netflix’s newest documentary Stamped from the Beginning is headed to the streaming service on Friday, Nov. 17. The documentary is based on the bestselling book of the same name by Ibram X. Kendi. The book tells the story of slavery, discrimination, and racism in America from the point when Black people were first kidnapped and brought to America to more recent times.

The documentary will feature Angela Davis, Alexa Rachelle Jennings, Brittney Cooper, Ibram X. Kendi, and Lynae Vanee. The doc included scripted scenes as well as interviews with scholars and activists.
