- Director: Takashi Yamazaki

- Format: IMAX and standard cinema formats
Viewer Match
- Best for: Viewers who want large-format spectacle anchored by consequence rather than noise.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
Takashi Yamazaki returns to a post-war Japan still carrying the damage of the previous film. The attraction is not simply a larger monster encounter, but the chance to see whether the human-scale fear and historical texture survive the move into a broader international event.
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping
- UK and US cinemas: 20 November 2026
- UK early showings: from 18 November 2026
- UK certificate: 12A
- Director: Francis Lawrence
- Starring: Joseph Zada, Jesse Plemons and Ralph Fiennes
- Format: IMAX and standard cinema formats
Viewer Match
- Best for: Hunger Games readers and viewers who prefer political tension to franchise homework.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
The new prequel follows a young Haymitch Abernathy into the Second Quarter Quell, where twice the usual number of tributes are chosen. Familiar mythology matters less than the film’s opportunity to show how Panem manufactures fear long before Katniss enters the arena.
Disney’s Hexed
- US cinemas: 25 November 2026
- UK cinemas: 27 November 2026
- Directors: Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand
- Voices: Hailee Steinfeld, Rashida Jones and Jodie Foster
Viewer Match
- Best for: Families looking for an original animated adventure over the Thanksgiving weekend.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
Billie Doe discovers that the oddness she has spent years trying to contain is connected to a hidden realm of witches. The mother-and-daughter pairing gives the fantasy a useful emotional spine, while the staggered UK and US dates make territory labels especially important.
Streaming
The Greatest
- UK and US premiere: 4 November 2026
- Platform: Prime Video
- Format: eight-episode limited series, all episodes at once
- Creator and showrunner: Ben Watkins
- Starring: Jaalen Best
Viewer Match
- Best for: Viewers drawn to biographical drama that treats sport as only one part of a life.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
This authorised scripted series follows Muhammad Ali from Cassius Clay’s early promise into the choices that reshaped his public and private life. The test will be whether it gives his convictions and relationships as much room as the famous bouts.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power — Season 3
- UK and US premiere: 11 November 2026
- Platform: Prime Video
- Season: Season 3, with four episodes on launch day and the rest weekly until 25 November
- Format: returning fantasy drama series
Viewer Match
- Best for: Fantasy viewers ready for a returning season with war-scale stakes.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
Five years after the fall of Eregion, Sauron’s armies have pushed Middle-earth into open war. The time jump promises a more decisive phase of the story, but the real draw is seeing whether the scattered kingdoms can still feel like people rather than pieces on a map.
Yellowjackets — Season 4
- UK and US premiere: 20 November 2026
- Platform: Paramount+ (Premium plan)
- Season: Season 4, the final season
- Creators: Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson
Viewer Match
- Best for: Existing Yellowjackets viewers who want the story’s final reckoning.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
The survivors are finally home, but the series has never treated rescue as the end of what happened in the wilderness. The final season’s appeal lies in consequence: what the group remembers, what it has hidden and what can no longer stay buried.
Blade Runner 2099
- UK and US premiere: 25 November 2026
- Platform: Prime Video
- Format: eight-episode limited series, all episodes at once
- Starring: Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer
Viewer Match
- Best for: Patient science-fiction viewers who enjoy noir investigation and questions of artificial identity.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
Set fifty years after Blade Runner 2049, the limited series pairs two women whose identities place them on opposite sides of a fragile order. Familiar rain and neon are present, but the useful question is whether the partnership can carry a new mystery rather than merely preserve the atmosphere.
Way of the Warrior Kid
- UK and US premiere: 25 November 2026
- Platform: Apple TV
- Director: McG
- Starring: Chris Pratt, Linda Cardellini and Jude Hill
Viewer Match
- Best for: Families wanting an encouraging, character-led holiday-week watch.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
A bullied middle-schooler spends the summer following an ambitious confidence programme designed by his recovering uncle. The film’s family appeal depends on treating courage as more than learning to fight, with training used to open a conversation about fear, resilience and care.
Movieversalfilm Picks: November’s Spoiler-Free Verdict
Make Godzilla Minus Zero the large-screen appointment if you want scale with historical weight, and keep Sunrise on the Reaping for the month’s franchise event. At home, The Greatest offers the most grounded new-series choice, while Blade Runner 2099 is the patient science-fiction bet. Families have two distinct routes in Disney’s Hexed and Way of the Warrior Kid. November works best as a mix: one cinema spectacle, one returning world and one less obvious home premiere.
Which November release gets your first cinema booking or streaming night—and which quieter choice has joined your watchlist?
