A Man on the Inside

Watch! Ted Danson returns to the small screen following his turns in the Emmy-nominated The Good Place and short-lived Mr. Mayor. Re-teaming with his Good Place boss Michael Schur, A Man on the Inside stars Danson as a retiree who suddenly finds himself as a PI for a major investigation. The new comedy series makes its premiere on Nov. 21 and, with the talent attached, it's sure to be one of the best new comedy series on Netflix this year. Check this one out!

The Madness

Watch! Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo returns to Netflix in the new conspiracy thriller limited series The Madness on Thanksgiving, Nov. 28. The series contains eight episodes and stars Domingo as media pundit Muncie Daniels looking to secure his innocence after finding a body in the Poconos woods. Netflix's limited series in 2024 have all been well-received and super popular, and there's no signs of that slowing down with the must-watch The Madness.

Senna

Skip! Speaking of limited series, one day after Netflix releases The Madness, the streamer also drops the biographical drama miniseries Senna. Based on the life and career of racecar driver Aryton Senna, the series stars Gabriel Leone in the six-episode series tracing the racing legend's rise. It's sure to be a gripping and captivating watch that will keep you hooked from the starting line all the way to the finish line. However, if you're not a fan of racing, Senna probably won't be your first pick to watch over the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
