The 3 best new Netflix shows to binge this weekend, November 13–15, 2026, include a critically acclaimed thriller, a returning spy hit, and a crime saga. Earlier this week, some of the top new arrivals on Netflix spanned multiple genres, ranging from epic historical dramas such as Under Siege, heist thrillers like Lupin, and acclaimed period pieces like The Empress, which just returned for its third and final season. This weekend, ScreenRant has selected the best new series that are actually worth your time this weekend on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and Paramount+. Whether you're looking for a new long-term go-to series to watch throughout November 2026 or a quick binge you can start and finish in just one night, these three series are the best of what Netflix has to offer among its new releases this weekend. Power All six seasons and 63 episodes of the STARZ original crime drama Power arrived on Netflix earlier this week and have already made an impact on the streamer's worldwide viewership chart, currently ranking #6 in the United States. Power is widely considered one of the most popular and well-crafted crime drama series of the 2010s, enjoying a 6-season run from 2014 to 2020 before spawning three spinoff series with two more in development. As far as modern crime franchises go in the modern streaming age, it doesn't get much better than Power. Power follows a New York nightclub owner named Ghost, played by Omari Hardwick, who lives a double life as a drug kingpin with the help of his longtime friend Tommy, played by Joseph Sikora. Ghost is a morally complicated protagonist who engages in an extramarital affair in season 1 while trying to keep both of his enterprises afloat. He is also a target for Kanan, played by executive producer 50 Cent, who plots a revenge tour from behind bars. If you're looking to get lost in an epic crime thriller this weekend, Power is an easy choice. Black Doves Black Doves is one of Netflix's most popular new releases of November 2026 so far and is currently the #1 most-watched series on the platform following its recent season 2 drop. Black Doves consists of 12 episodes across its two seasons and is one of Netflix's most critically acclaimed spy thrillers of all time, earning a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 94%. Led by Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and season 2 newcomer Neve Campbell, Black Doves is incredibly binge-worthy, offering action, suspense, and plenty of dark humor. Knightley stars as Helen Webb in Black Doves, a secret agent working for a clandestine espionage agency known as the Black Doves. Although Helen becomes the wife of the British Prime Minister in Black Doves season 2, the Black Doves swear no allegiance to any singular nation, instead carrying out undercover missions and even assassinations for the highest bidder. For top-notch spy action drama on Netflix this weekend, Black Doves takes the cake as the best new option worth streaming that you can start and finish by Sunday. The Body The Body is the latest streaming sensation on Netflix heading into the weekend following its global premiere on Wednesday, November 11. Heavily inspired by classic movies such as Jennifer's Body and Carrie, The Body is set in 2004 and takes place at a Catholic high school in a small town, following a dance team known as the Lions. New recruit Grace Franklin, played by Sofia Wylie, is initiated into the Lions by team captains, Anya (Kristina Bogic) and Elise (Sara Boustany), who lead a ritual that goes wrong and unleashes hysteria across town. The Body consists of just eight episodes and earned a near-perfect 98% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, making it an instant fan-favorite hit as it soars on Netflix's viewership charts, currently ranking #2 worldwide. The series was created by Quinn Shephard, best known for the Emmy-nominated Hulu series Under the Bridge. Variety writes in its review, "The Body is superb because it unpacks the nuances and deep bonds of female friendship, especially as they form and shatter during the teen years." Given its immediate critical acclaim, gripping supernatural horror premise, and positive viewership momentum, The Body is the best new series to binge this weekend on Netflix.
