Blue Eye Samurai
Release Date: November 3 on Netflix
Maya Erskine stars in Blue Eye Samurai as mixed-race samurai Mizu, an angry warrior seeking vengeance for a lifetime of pain and her mother’s death at the hands of corrupt white men in 17th century Japan.

Creators Amber Noizumi and Michael Green, the latter a co-writer on Logan and Blade Runner 2049, describe Blue Eye Samurai as “Kill Bill meets Yentl.” Supervised by director Jane Wu, whose numerous industry credits include Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this adult animated series mixes 2D and 3D styles into a fluid, brutal, bloody feast for the eyes.

Beacon 23

Showtime and independent movie studio A24 join forces for this dark comedy. Married couple Whitney (Emma Stone) and Asher (Nathan Fielder) flip houses in their neighborhood as the stars and hosts of an HGTV series.

And they might have been cursed for it, but no one knows for sure. Benny Safdie executive produces and co-stars in The Curse as Flipanthropy‘s producer.
A Murder at the End of the World
Release Date: November 14 on Hulu
Invitations from strangers to stay in a remote place never end well. Creative partners Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, the creators of the unfairly canceled Netflix series The OA, return with A Murder at the End of the World, a psychological thriller-mystery led by amateur Gen Z detective Darby Hart (The Crown‘s Emma Corrin). A mysterious host (Clive Owen) invites Darby and eight other individuals to a “retreat” in an isolated, snowy location. To no one’s shock if you’ve read an Agatha Christie novel, one of the guests dies, likely via murder, and more are at risk — unless Darby can uncover the truth.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
Release Date: November 17 on Netflix
No, you’re not experiencing déjà vu. Scott Pilgrim is back in Netflix’s Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and so is the entire cast of Edgar Wright‘s 2010 live-action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. That means Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, and more reprise their roles in this animated adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley‘s beloved graphic novels. O’Malley co-creates and co-writes the series, which revisits the same premise that Wright’s film adapted: in order to date the girl of his literal dreams (Winstead), 20-something amateur-musician Scott Pilgrim (Cera) must defeat her seven evil exes.
The Artful Dodger
Release Date: November 29 on Hulu

The return of his former boss Fagin (David Thewlis), a semi-villainous figure, threatens to upend Dawkins’ plans. Jack’s also busy falling for Lady Belle Fox (Maia Mitchell), an ahead-of-her-time woman who intends to become Australia’s first female surgeon.
Obliterated
Release Date: November 30 on Netflix
