The 13 Best New TV Shows This November: ‘I Love L.A.,’ ‘Pluribus,’ and More

2025 is finally winding down to a close, but TV never slows down. As people make preparations for Thanksgiving and the holiday season, there are plenty of new and old shows alike to watch, from network sitcoms to twisty streaming thrillers.

Easily the biggest show of the month, “Stranger Things” returns after three long years with its fifth and final season. The Netflix hit will premiere the day before Thanksgiving, and release in three batches across the rest of the year, on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. Other returning shows to consider watching this month include Season 2 of Mike Schur and Ted Danson’s “A Man on the Inside,” as well as Season 2 of the Apple TV comedy series “Palm Royale” starring Kristen Wiig.

But for those looking for something new, there are a few buzzy and notable new TV shows and limited series beginning their run this November. Possibly the most exciting is “Pluribus,” an Apple TV series that marks Vince Gilligan’s first new project since the completion of the acclaimed “Better Call Saul” in 2020. The show’s premise is intentionally left vague in marketing. Still, it promises to follow a miserable woman who “must save the world from unhappiness.” The series reteams Gilligan with Rhea Seehorn after her breakout performance in “Better Call Saul.”

For another but radically different promising series debuting this month, there’s HBO’s “I Love L.A.,” created by “Bottoms” and “Shiva Baby” star Rachel Sennott. The series, pitched as a Gen Z answer to Lena Dunham’s “Girls,” follows a friend group of young people in the entertainment industry as they navigate Los Angeles, and also stars Josh Hutcherson, Odessa A’zion, Jordan Firstman, and True Whitaker.

If you’re looking for a limited series, Netflix has you covered, with shows ranging from historical dramas about political assassinations (“Death by Lightning”) to literary murder mysteries (“The Beast in Me”). Also on TV this month, there’s a new Ryan Murphy show — this time a legal drama! — starring Kim Kardashian, plus Sarah Snook’s return to TV after “Succession,” a new NBC sitcom, various animated series, and even a Ken Burns documentary.
