What's New on Netflix NZ: Latest Shows & Films
Netflix's November in New Zealand opens with Black Doves Season 2 and North of North Season 2 on Thursday 5 November, then The Devil's Plan Season 3 on Tuesday 10 November, a stacked Thursday 12 November and The Hunting Wives Season 2 on Thursday 26 November.
Updated 4 November: October's arrivals are gone and this page now lists November's, read from Netflix's New Zealand release schedule on Wednesday 4 November. That schedule ran from Tuesday 27 October to Saturday 28 November when we read it, so titles dated later in the month may still be added.
A note on dates. Every date below comes from Netflix's own New Zealand release schedule, and for the titles Netflix's US Tudum article for November also names, the dates match. Tudum lists some US-licensed titles that aren't on the New Zealand schedule, such as Will Trent Seasons 1 to 4, so we haven't listed those. Netflix's own note on that article says recommendations may vary by region.
When new Netflix titles appear in New Zealand
In the evening, not at midnight. Netflix's New Zealand schedule times almost every November title for 9pm on its release day, which is midnight in California now that the United States has left daylight saving (it ended on Sunday 1 November; New Zealand's daylight time carries on). Through October the usual slot was 8pm.
Live events are the exception: WWE Crown Jewel is timed for 5.45am on Sunday 8 November, and the NFL Netflix Gameday show for Packers vs Rams is timed for 11.30am on Thursday 26 November.

Black Doves Season 2 (Netflix, 5 November)
Keira Knightley returns as Helen, who is now living as the prime minister's wife, and Ben Whishaw is back as Sam, who faces a deadly ultimatum. Netflix says an attack on Reed, played by Sarah Lancashire, pulls them into a desperate hunt for answers, and its Tudum coverage adds Ambika Mod and Neve Campbell to the cast.
North of North Season 2 (Netflix, 5 November)
The Arctic comedy returns with Anna Lambe as Siaja, who leans on the tight-knit community of Ice Cove to build a future on her own terms. It arrives the same night as Black Doves.
The Devil's Plan Season 3 and Last One Standing Season 4 (Netflix, 10 November)
The Korean strategy competition returns with sixteen players from all walks of life competing in a game of smarts, with money and esteem on the line. Last One Standing Season 4 lands the same night: popular comics join A-list actors in a drama where unscripted stories decide who is the last one standing.
Thursday 12 November: four returns in one night
The month's busiest night has The Empress Season 3, with Devrim Lingnau as Elisabeth, Ethos Season 2, set in Istanbul, Bros Season 2, with Hanan Savyon and Guy Amir, and Love Is Blind, Habibi Season 2, where Arab singles connect and get engaged before meeting and the hosts are the couple Wissam Breidy and Rym Saidi.
