2025 is almost over and so is Netflix’s mammoth sci-fi drama Stranger Things, which begins its much-anticipated final chapter in November. Next month also promises some big reunions, with Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn teaming up again for Apple TV+’s Pluribus and Homeland‘s Howard Gordon and Claire Danes joining forces for The Beast In Me, which co-stars Matthew Rhys. Plus, Rachel Sennott’s HBO comedy I Love LA debuts, Ryan Murphy drops legal thriller with Kim Kardashian and Niecy Nash, and NBC unveils its latest mockumentary. Meanwhile, Succession‘s Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen lead new shows. Here is The A.V. Club‘s guide to what to watch on TV in November.
I Love LA (HBO, November 2)
This HBO comedy, which was created and co-written by star Rachel Sennott, follows a group of youngish pals (played by Odessa A’zion, English Teacher‘s Jordan Firstman, True Whitaker, and Josh Hutcherson) as they navigate dating and their professional lives in the show’s titular city. The trailer gives off some vibes of other L.A.-set series from the last decade, like You’re The Worst and Love, which is promising news—as is Firstman’s character donning a Jumbo’s Clown Room hat and delivering lines like “What? Never seen a naked gay guy in Eagle Rock before? Grow up!” [Tim Lowery]
Crutch (Paramount+, November 3)
CBS’s The Neighborhood might be wrapping up after its eighth season, but the show leaves a spin-off in its wake centered on Calvin’s (Cedric The Entertainer) cousin. Tracy Morgan leads Crutch as a brash yet beloved shop owner and empty nester in Harlem who’s thrown for a loop when his grown-up son (who quit his corporate-lawyer gig) and daughter (whose marriage fell apart) move back home.

All’s Fair (Hulu, November 4)
Ryan Murphy’s mission to have the most shows on TV rages on with All’s Fair, which (like Grotesquerie) he co-created with Jon Rabin Baitz and Jon Baken. This pulpy legal drama relies on quite an ensemble, which includes Niecy Nash, Glenn Close, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Watts, and Kim Kardashian. They all play top-notch divorce attorneys here who open their own law firm after leaving their male-dominated company, taking on wealthy clients with plenty of scandalous secrets. Regular Murphy player Sarah Paulson co-stars as the nemesis of Kardashian’s character. [Saloni Gajjar]
All Her Fault (Peacock, November 6)
In her first post-Succession lead TV role, Sarah Snook switches to a twisty suburban thriller based on Andrea Mara’s 2021 novel. The Emmy-winner plays Marissa, who goes to pick up her son from his first playdate. However, a different woman answers the door who has no idea who or where said kid is. This kicks off a police investigation into a possible kidnapping, which may have been at the hands of someone close to Marissa. Jake Lacy, Abby Elliott, Jay Ellis, and Dakota Fanning co-star.
