Frankenstein: Guillermo del Toro’s Latest Masterpiece
Top of the week’s must-watch list is Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s highly anticipated reimagining of Mary Shelley’s legendary novel.
Having missed its theatrical release earlier this year, many fans are eager to finally stream it at home. Del Toro’s version is expected to blend gothic atmosphere, emotional storytelling, and masterful creature design — everything fans have come to expect from the visionary behind Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water.
Even though Halloween has passed, Frankenstein’s haunting themes and stunning visuals make it a perfect November pick for anyone craving cinematic artistry with a monstrous edge. It lands on Netflix this Friday.
Death by Lightning: Prestige TV With Historical Bite
Also premiering this week is Death by Lightning, a brand-new limited series from David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the creative duo behind HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Set in the late 19th century, the series explores a gripping real-life political assassination that changed the course of American history. The show stars Nick Offerman, who brings gravitas (and a notably iconic beard) to the role, alongside a strong supporting cast.
For fans of historical dramas and slow-burn storytelling, Death by Lightning promises to deliver compelling character work and meticulous world-building — trademarks of Benioff and Weiss’s storytelling style.
More to Watch — and What’s Leaving Netflix
Beyond these headline premieres, Netflix’s weekly refresh includes a mix of genres — from heartwarming comedies to international thrillers and documentary debuts. With 23 total additions, the streaming service continues to cater to every taste and mood.
Of course, a few favorites are also leaving the platform this week, so now’s the time to check your watchlist and catch any soon-to-depart titles before they disappear.
