What’s new on Netflix UK in November 2020 – all the shows and movies coming up

Meanwhile new series include Country Ever After, a docuseries about a country singer and his hip-hop dancer wife, Dash & Lily a romantic drama series based on a young adult book series and A Queen is Born which sees Gloria Groove and Alexia Twister present a drag queen makeover show.

It's also (whisper it) time for the first batch of Christmas content - and Netflix certainly hasn't gone light on festive fare this year, with the bulk of their November Originals linked in one way or another to "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year".

On the film front, there are sequels for previous festive hits The Christmas Switch and The Christmas Chronicles, with original stars Vanessa Hudgens and Kurt Russel respectively both returning.

And that's not all – the streamer's slate of original Christmas films includes Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square, a family musical starring the titular country star, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, a musical adventure about an eccentric toymaker, and Alien Xmas an animated film about some aliens who find themselves fighting the Spirit of Christmas.

As far as festive TV shows go, subscribers can also look forward to Dance Dreams: Hot Chocolate Nutcracker, a docuseries that goes behind the scenes at a production of The Nutcracker, a reality series titled Holiday Home Makeover with Mr. Christmas, and the second series of Yule based baking show Sugar Rush Christmas.
