Netflix is beginning November with a mix of holiday entertainment, crime stories, spy drama and comedy. Among the most notable releases arriving from November 2 to 8 are the first Christmas titles of the platform’s 2026 slate, the return of Black Doves and a new special starring former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson: Return of the Mike arrives on November 3. The Netflix comedy special presents Tyson in a live one-man show filmed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The performance combines personal reflections, stories from his life and comedic observations.
On November 4, Netflix will premiere A Dog’s Perfect Christmas. The film follows the Gloss family as a medical emergency creates turmoil during the holiday season. Their basset hound, Winstead, becomes central to the family’s efforts to stay together. The movie is based on a novel by W. Bruce Cameron, whose work also inspired A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Journey, and stars Dennis Quaid, Milo Ventimiglia and Jennifer Tilly.
That same day, the platform will add Taken: Natalee Holloway, a documentary about the 2005 disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway during a trip to Aruba. The production follows her mother, Beth Holloway, through the decades-long search for answers and the investigation that brought her face-to-face with the alleged killer.
Black Doves returns for its second season on November 5. Keira Knightley reprises her role as Helen, a spy working for the covert Black Doves organization while married to Wallace, who is preparing to become the United Kingdom’s prime minister. Helen takes on a new mission and reunites with her old friend Sam, played by Ben Whishaw. Sarah Lancashire also returns, while the new cast includes Ambika Mod, Babou Ceesay, Sam Riley and Neve Campbell.
The week’s final featured release is Carolina Caroline, arriving on November 6. Samara Weaving plays Caroline Daniels, a woman who leaves her small Texas town with a charismatic con man, portrayed by Kyle Gallner. The pair become involved in increasingly elaborate scams and heists across the American South, in a story compared with Bonnie and Clyde.
