Frankenstein

• Release date: Nov. 7, 2025

There’s something thrilling about seeing a classic monster reborn for a new generation, and Frankenstein promises to do just that. The timeless tale of creation, morality, and madness has been told countless times since Mary Shelley’s groundbreaking 1818 novel, but this upcoming Netflix adaptation looks to be one of the most ambitious and visually stunning versions yet.

The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet tormented scientist whose obsession with defying death drives him to create monstrous life from the remnants of the dead. What begins as a daring act of genius soon spirals into a nightmare as his creation becomes both his greatest achievement and his ultimate curse. Also in the cast are Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and many others.

A Merry Little Ex-Mas

Christmas is upon us, and Netflix makes it a habit every year to start releasing its holiday content a month before December even begins. The streaming giant knows exactly how to get viewers into the festive spirit early, filling its library with heartwarming rom-coms, cozy family films, and a few surprises that capture the magic of the season.

One of the new Christmas movies headed to Netflix this November is A Merry Little Ex-Mas, and just from the plot alone, we can already tell this is going to be a hilariously funny rom-com. Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson play Kate and Everett, a recently divorced couple whose attempt at a calm, festive holiday quickly unravels.
