Foliage is not the only thing that’s colorful and varied this fall, as Prime Video rolls out new programming for just about every taste. David Duchovny, 65, stars in a new thriller series set in sunny Greece, while Kevin James, 60, finds himself on a playdate from hell with his stepson and a bunch of heavily armed mercenaries on their tail. Viewers reluctant to hit the malls on Black Friday can settle in for an updated version of golf’s “Skins Game” with some of the sport’s top pros — or the eagerly awaited matchup of Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears. Here are our picks for the best new programs to get you into the entertainment end zone this month.

Coming Nov. 3

Nice to Not Meet You, Season 1

Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae, 52, headlines this new South Korean series as the lead of a popular TV show about a virtuous detective who longs to be cast in a melodrama, rom-com or anything that would break the mold. Then he meets a hard-nosed political journalist (Lim Ji-yeon, from Netflix’s The Glory) who’s been demoted to the entertainment beat after covering a corruption scandal. Can the two overcome their initial suspicions of each other?

Coming Nov. 5

Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy (2025, R)

Fashion designer Joy (Shannon Thornton) has had a rough go of it, overshadowed by her boss at work and frustrated in her romantic life. When she follows her crush (Aaron O’Connell, A Prince for Christmas) to Colorado and gets stuck in a snowstorm, she winds up meeting another guy (Tosin Morohunfola) who shifts her perspective. Expect a breezy wintry romance from the prolific writer-director Perry, 56.

Coming Nov. 7

Maxton Hall: The World Between Us, Season 2

The second installment in Mona Kasten’s YA trilogy picks up just after Ruby (Harriet Herbig-Matten), an ambitious scholarship student at an elite private school, has a romantic night with the confident, wealthy big-man-on-campus James (Damian Hardung). But the course of true love is not as smooth as James’ toned torso, and his shady family and philandering past resurface as obstacles on the way to happily ever after.

Coming Nov. 10

Bat-Fam, Season 1

Luke Wilson, 54, voices Bruce Wayne in this new animated series exploring the domestic life of Gotham City’s favorite crime fighter — including his relationship with his young son, Damian (Yonas Kibreab), beloved butler, Alfred (James Cromwell, 85), Alfred’s free-spirited niece (London Hughes) and a flame-haired, recently reformed supervillain who’s also settled into Wayne Manor.

Coming Nov. 12

Playdate (2025, PG-13)

When recently laid-off accountant Brian (Kevin James, 60) arranges a playdate for his new stepson with outgoing stay-at-home dad Jeff (Alan Ritchson), he’s not prepared for a series of close encounters with ruthless mercenaries who’ve set their sights on Jeff and his son. Turns out Jeff has some serious tactical skills worthy of the action hero that Ritchson plays in Reacher. And nothing says father-son bonding like explosions, hand-to-hand combat and high-speed chases in a minivan.

Coming Nov. 14

Belén (2025, R)

Argentine actor Dolores Fonzi directs and stars in this harrowing true story about a woman from Argentina’s conservative northern province of Tucumán who went to her local hospital with a serious vaginal hemorrhage, suffered a miscarriage and then was arrested (and later convicted) on aggravated murder charges. Fonzi plays the lawyer who took the woman’s legal case, which became a flash point for reproductive rights in the deeply Catholic country and led to the 2020 passage of a law allowing abortion up to 14 weeks into pregnancy.

Malice , Season 1

In this six-episode series, David Duchovny, 65, and Game of Thrones alum Carice van Houten play a wealthy couple, vacationing in Greece with their three young children, who make the fateful mistake of hiring a darkly charming British tutor (Jack Whitehall, Jungle Cruise). Turns out he’s hell-bent on destroying the family for reasons that will doubtless take all six episodes to fully reveal. This revenge thriller seems like a cross between The White Lotus and The Count of Monte Cristo.

Coming Nov. 17

June Farms, Season 1

This new reality series is set on a 120-acre farm outside Albany, New York, where hard-charging owner and restaurateur Matt Baumgartner oversees not only the animals on the rolling pastures but also a thriving wedding and event business. The latter is the main focus of the eight-episode show as Baumgartner manages his young staff, the expectations of demanding brides and the vagaries of rural weather that can turn a picturesque field into a dirty mud pit.

Coming Nov. 21

Kathleen Madigan: The Family Thread

In her new one-hour stand-up special, Kathleen Madigan tackles a wide range of subjects, from Midwest pioneers to her aging parents to the issues that come with owning four cats. She even recalls launching a fantasy football league for her preteen nieces and nephews, as she jokes, “so they can learn to gamble properly.” Perhaps that’s how schools should teach math going forward.

Coming Nov. 26

Mickey 17 (2025, R)

Oscar-winning South Korean director Bong Joon Ho (Parasite), 56, unleashes a pitch-black sci-fi parable in the mold of his 2017 film Okja. Robert Pattinson plays a guy who gets so in debt to heartless loan sharks that he flees aboard a spaceship bound for an icy planet. The catch? He agrees to be an “expendable,” a human guinea pig who repeatedly puts himself in harm’s way (and dies) for the sake of the other colonizers, and then gets reprinted with his memories intact. We spend most of our time with the 17th incarnation of this likable pawn, stuck in a soulless corporate mission led by a hilariously ruthless couple (Mark Ruffalo, 57, and Toni Collette, 52). It’s a wild and woolly ride, with a vision of a dystopian near-future that feels exaggerated, but only just.

Coming Nov. 28

Black Friday Football

Reigning Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the Chicago Bears for a heated showdown that could help determine the National Football Conference standings. Pregame coverage from Philly’s Lincoln Financial Field begins at 1:30 p.m. ET ahead of a 3 p.m. kickoff. In a sign of the NFL’s growing popularity, this will be the first American football game presented globally on the streamer. Prime Video, which is offered to more than 240 countries, will even provide additional language options, including Spanish, French and Portuguese.

The Skins Game

Four of professional golf’s top players — Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Keegan Bradley — will meet up on Black Friday to play a hole-by-hole competition. The action tees off at 9 a.m. ET with a format that mostly sticks to the tradition where each hole carries a dollar value and tied holes roll over to raise the stakes. Only this time, each player will start with a $1 million purse so their fortunes will rise and fall with each shot.
