From the exciting Princess Diana-filled season five of The Crown to Disenchanted—the sequel to Enchanted that we waited 15 years for, there is much to be excited for this November. 

Below, we list the shows we think you can’t afford to miss and what you have to add to your watchlist immediately.

Don’t miss: 10 Seriously Fun Things to Do in Singapore This November 2022

1. The Crown: Season 5

The Crown’s fifth season is arguably one of the most highly anticipated releases we will see on any streaming service this month. The well-loved dramatisation of the royal family is back with Imelda Staunton leading the cast as Queen Elizabeth.

The fifth season will see the show address the divorce of then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana with blatant transparency, a move that has drawn both criticism and praise from fans.

The fuss is largely due to the fact that the season is premiering just about two months after the death of Queen Elizabeth II which many regard as disrespectful. 

No matter which camp you fall into, you can’t deny that the new season is already shaping up to be the most exciting one yet.

Enchanted, the movie where a fairytale princess gets transported into the real world, was a crucial part of most of our childhoods. It has now been 15 years since Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey) got married and Giselle has grown disillusioned with life in the city. 

The family decide to move to the languid community of Monroeville in search of a more fairytale-like life. Unfortunately, trouble ensues when Giselle gets into a feud with the town’s resident mean girl, Malvina Monroe.
