What’s Coming To Netflix In November 2019
Netflix has added a bunch of new and fan-favorite movies, TV shows, comedy specials, and more for November 2019. With the holiday season right around the corner there are plenty of things to watch to get everyone in the spirit. Also, the wait is over as many Netflix originals such as The Crown and Atypical are back with new seasons.
Since Netflix has to compete with other streaming platforms including Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Disney+ they were able to create a list of highly anticipated films and shows that keep customers binge watching as long as they can.
The Crown's Third Season Comes With Big Changes
Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most prolific historical figures of all time. Netflix took her life story and turned it into an original series called The Crown. The first two seasons chronicled her life in early adulthood, but that's all about to change for season three.
Olivia Colman replaced Claire Foy as the queen because the third season skips ahead 20 years. There are also recastings for Prince Philip (Tobias Menzies) and Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter). Reviewers praise the series for its high production value, superb acting, and perfectly-planned narrative structure. All of season three will be available November 17.
Hard Questions Are Finally Answered on Atypical
Netflix has such a wide range of original content that it can be difficult to watch everything. One of their standout shows is Atypical, the story of a teen on the spectrum who is trying to navigate his independence. The third season was released on November 1 and dealt with Sam going off to college on his own.
The season introduced some new characters such as Sam's new college professors played by well-known actors Eric McCormack and Sara Gilbert. It also touched on his parents' (Jennifer Jason Leigh and Michael Rapaport) rocky relationship and his sister's (Brigette Lundy-Paine) internal struggle to face the truth.
The End Of The Fxxxing World Switches Up Its Lead Actors
The End of the Fxxxing World's first season ended with a massive cliffhanger, which left fans wondering the fate of the lead actors. The second season is ready to stream and will hopefully answer viewers' lingering questions.
Not too much information has been released on the plot for season two, but it's public knowledge that Alyssa (Jessica Barden) will be teaming up with a new character played by Naomi Ackie (pictured right). Also, since the soundtrack of the first season received critical acclaim musician Graham Coxon will be returning with a new one for season two.

Emma Roberts Gets Culture Shocked in Wild Child
Emma Roberts has acted since she was a young kid, most likely inspired by her aunt Julia Roberts, and has quite the variety in her filmography. In 2008 she played a spoiled Malibu teen who gets shipped off to a strict English boarding school in Wild Child.
