31/10/2019 - 07:30 PM

November is the best time of year to reflect on what what makes you feel grateful — and with so many great shows debuting and returning to Netflix this month, it's hard not to feel blessed. Along with season three of The Crown [1], season three of Atypical [2], and season two of The End of the F***ing World [3], you can expect to see tons of exciting new shows, including a holiday-themed sitcom [4] starring two Disney alums and Netflix's first-ever series from Thailand, which basically looks like the new Lost. Here's everything you should plan on bingeing this November (besides turkey, of course).

Atypical, Season 3

The third season of this coming-of-age series will follow Sam Gardner — a teen on the autism spectrum — as he enters his first year of college and contends with a host of new challenges, and his sister Casey, who is developing complicated feelings for her friend Izzie.
