Seven New Shows and Films LGBTQ+ Viewers Won't Want to Miss This November

November 2026 is bringing a strong selection of television and film releases for LGBTQ+ audiences, including the final season of Yellowjackets, the return of The Hunting Wives and a new Blade Runner series starring Hunter Schafer.

Across Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+ and Prime Video, viewers can look forward to queer relationships, LGBTQ+ performers and productions involving queer creators, with several of the biggest releases arriving during the final two weeks of the month.

While some feature LGBTQ+ characters and relationships at the centre of their stories, others are worth watching for the performers and creative talent involved. Here are seven releases to look out for, including their confirmed dates and where UK audiences can watch them.

Bass X Machina brings Janelle Monáe to Netflix

Netflix | Tuesday 3 November

Janelle Monáe joins the voice cast of Bass X Machina, a new adult animated action series created by LeSean Thomas, whose previous work includes Yasuke and Cannon Busters.

Set in a supernatural, steampunk version of the American West, the story follows a father forced to protect his family from dangerous outlaws, powerful machines and terrifying supernatural threats.

Brian Tyree Henry leads the voice cast, alongside Tati Gabrielle, Cree Summer and Monáe, whose involvement gives the series a connection to LGBTQ+ entertainment through the openly queer musician and actor.

Produced by South Korea's Studio Mir, the six-episode series combines Western storytelling with futuristic technology and supernatural action, offering something different from Netflix's usual live-action dramas.

VisionQuest reaches its Disney+ finale

Disney+ | Wednesday 11 November

Marvel's VisionQuest reaches its eight-episode conclusion in November, bringing Paul Bettany's Vision back into the spotlight following the events of WandaVision.

The series follows the rebuilt Avenger as he searches for answers about his identity while confronting artificial intelligence programmes connected to his past, including Ultron, voiced by returning actor James Spader.

The cast also includes Emily Hampshire, known for playing Stevie Budd in Schitt's Creek, and T'Nia Miller, giving the production a connection to queer performers and audiences.

The seventh episode arrives on Wednesday 4 November, followed by the finale on Wednesday 11 November, when the complete series will become available to stream.

For viewers who have been waiting to watch the entire story, November provides the opportunity to follow Vision's journey without having to wait for weekly episodes.

The Body brings queer horror to Netflix

Netflix | Wednesday 11 November

Queer film maker Quinn Shephard brings a new coming-of-age horror story to Netflix with The Body, a series exploring teenage friendships, religion and disturbing supernatural experiences.

The story centres on a group of Catholic schoolgirls whose dance-team initiation goes horribly wrong, leaving them experiencing prophetic visions that trigger growing fear and hysteria throughout their community.

Shephard, whose previous work includes Not Okay and Blame, serves as creator, director and executive producer, bringing her distinctive filmmaking approach to a story combining adolescent experiences with psychological horror.

The cast includes Sofia Wylie, Louisa Krause, Nnamdi Asomugha and Gabby Windey, while Riley Keough is among the executive producers.

The Body is one of November's more unusual releases, with its mixture of teenage relationships and religious anxiety providing a different direction for audiences interested in queer-led horror productions.

Yellowjackets returns for its final season

Paramount+ | Friday 20 November

One of the biggest November releases for LGBTQ+ viewers is the fourth and final season of Yellowjackets, which promises to bring the survival thriller's long-running mysteries towards their conclusion.

The series follows a girls' football team stranded in the wilderness following a plane crash, while a second storyline explores the adult survivors attempting to live with the consequences of what happened.

Among its most significant relationships is the romance between Van and Taissa, played in the teenage storyline by Liv Hewson and Jasmin Savoy Brown.

Their relationship has provided an important queer storyline throughout the series, particularly as both characters struggle with secrecy, loyalty and their increasingly frightening circumstances.

The final season moves closer to the teenagers' eventual rescue, while the adult survivors continue facing the consequences of their shared past.

Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse and Sophie Thatcher return, with Molly Ringwald and June Squibb among the new guest stars.

Yellowjackets returns to Paramount+ on 20 November, with the fourth season available through the service's Premium subscription.

Steps gives Cinderella's sisters their own story

Netflix | Friday 20 November

Netflix is offering a different take on Cinderella with Steps, a new animated family film that places the famous stepsisters at the centre of the adventure.

Ali Wong voices Lilith, who steals the Fairy Godmother's magic wand and disrupts the Royal Ball alongside her sister Margot, voiced by Stephanie Hsu.

Their actions leave the kingdom under threat from a new villain, forcing Lilith to work alongside Cinderella, played by Amanda Seyfried, in an attempt to repair the damage.

Bette Midler voices the Fairy Godmother, while Daniel Radcliffe and Nikki Glaser are also among the performers bringing the reimagined fairytale to life.

Directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, the film is produced through Amy Poehler's Paper Kite Productions and Netflix Animation Studios.

Although the film has not been announced as an LGBTQ+ romance, its cast includes performers with strong connections to queer audiences, making it another potential addition to November's family viewing.

Hunter Schafer leads Blade Runner 2099

Prime Video | Wednesday 25 November

Hunter Schafer takes a leading role alongside Michelle Yeoh in Blade Runner 2099, a new eight-part science-fiction series continuing the world established by Ridley Scott's original film.

Set fifty years after Blade Runner 2049, the story follows Cora, played by Schafer, who becomes a Blade Runner while attempting to escape her past.

She becomes involved with Olwen, played by Yeoh, a Replicant approaching the end of her life, as the pair uncover secrets that threaten the future of Los Angeles.

Schafer, who rose to prominence playing Jules in Euphoria, has become one of the most recognisable transgender performers working in television and film, making her involvement particularly notable for LGBTQ+ audiences.

Silka Luisa serves as showrunner, with Scott returning as an executive producer, while Sheila Atim and Tom Burke are among the supporting cast.

All eight episodes arrive together on Prime Video on 25 November, allowing audiences to watch the complete story from its release.

The Hunting Wives brings Sophie and Margo back together

Netflix | Thursday 26 November

The Hunting Wives returns for its second season on 26 November, bringing Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman back as Sophie O'Neil and Margo Banks following the first season's dangerous mixture of attraction, betrayal and murder.

The drama follows Sophie, whose move to Texas draws her into the wealthy social circle surrounding Margo, a charismatic woman whose influence becomes increasingly difficult to escape.

Their complicated attraction remains central to the story, with the new season beginning after the pair have become estranged following the events of the first series.

However, old secrets and new enemies force them back into each other's lives, reopening a relationship built around desire, suspicion and dangerous decisions.

John Stamos, Angel Reese, Cam Gigandet and Dale Dickey join the cast, while Dermot Mulroney returns as Margo's husband Jed, whose political ambitions create further problems.

The series has already secured a third season, meaning the new episodes will not bring Sophie and Margo's story to a permanent conclusion.

For viewers looking for a drama with a prominent relationship between two women, The Hunting Wives is one of November's strongest offerings.
