November brings both the familiar and the new to screens big and small. A favorite novel gets a new adaptation. A bestselling detective series is getting a TV series. A popular film gets a spin-off Gladiator IIand a beloved musical finally gets the theatrical treatment fans have been waiting for for years Evil. But the month will also bring what's sure to be a twisty adaptation of an acclaimed novel and more.

Fans of series like Yellowstone (Paramount+) and silo (Apple TV+) can count on their earnings. And while there isn't a multi-episode Beatles series on Disney+, it seems like something new from the band pops up around this time every year. This year, for example, it's a look back to 1964 with the model produced by Scorsese The Beatles '64.

But first: Let's start with what may be the last film by one of the great American filmmakers.
