The Day of the Jackal: Season 1 Premiere (November 7)
Based on a true account of a failed assassination, and embellished by author Frederick Forsythe with juicy espionage details, novel The Day of the Jackal has made its way onto the big screen before. Now, Eddie Redmayne stars as the titular assassin, a steely killer going toe-to-toe with Lashana Lynch’s MI5 agent, who must capture the cunning hitman before he commits a devastating act with international implications. The story’s been shifted to a modern setting, with the target of Forsythe’s original plot being French President Charles de Gaulle: those who’ve read the book, or anyone else who merely has an appetite for thrilling and finely-characterised spy sagas, should be left breathless as the elaborate plot unfurls.
Dune: Prophecy: Season 1 Premiere (November 18)
Reckon Timmy pulled off some pretty exciting stuff in Denis Villeneuve’s stunning Dune adaptations? Ya girls the Bene Gesserit—a witchy sisterhood of space prophets, always pulling the strings of their own agenda in the background of the empire’s scheming—have been at it for much longer…10,000 years, to be precise. Nerds who’ve followed Frank Herbert’s impenetrable lore since forever will eat up this prequel series with pleasure, as it follows Harkonnen sisters played by Emily Watson and Olivia Williams. Just how did their eerie sect get started? And who came up with the sick costumes? I personally don’t mind if this spin-off spins off in its own sinister direction and leaves a few franchisey questions unanswered, keeping the house of Atreides at a distance. As long as we get a sandworm sequence or two thrown in there.
Get Millie Black: Season 1 Premiere (November 26)
A Scotland Yard cop returning to her hometown. A missing girl. A rich and powerful family with dark business secrets. The elements in this fresh HBO mystery are all familiar, but it’s distinguished by a vibrant and often bleak Jamaican setting, the dialogue brightened with patios and characters burdened by the hard truths of their environment. The eponymous Millie (Tamara Lawrance) is both admirable and a little scary, willing to burn bridges and put her life at risk to right wrongs of the past—and her relationship with her sister Hibiscus (Chyna McQueen) lends the cop procedural story a piercingly personal element, as transwoman Hibiscus forces Millie to reconsider the childhood trauma they both struggle to leave in the past. Upsetting, addictive, and full of gasp-worthy twists.

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (November 8)
A drama of naval corruption and intrigue saddled with a wordy mouthful of a title, this is not the typical kind of movie I’d be keen to stream as soon as it’s released. But, being the final work of the late master director William Friedkin, I’m obliged to check it out. The story was a Pulitzer-winning novel and then a Broadway play, before being adapted into an Oscar-winning Humphrey Bogart film and now this latest incarnation, so there’s clearly something vital and fascinating to its tale of an officer who overrides his captain’s dangerous commands. Kiefer Sutherland and Lance Reddick, tragically also taken from the film world too soon, star in what’s been praised as a morally weighty and thought-provoking chamber piece.
Abigail (November 10)
This recent horror effort is an interesting case of expectations working against a story. Have I given away the whole game here, by choosing this thumbnail of a fanged, bloodsoaked kid? Did the movie’s poster and trailer ruin the plot’s big, saucy twist? At this point it’s unlikely any of us would be able to go into Abigail completely blind anyways, leaving its gorey death sequences and bickering cast of characters to stand alone on their own, spoilered merits. For what it’s worth, Luke Buckmaster wasn’t a fan in his review, deeming that the film “needs fresh blood…that final act is a killer, in the worst of ways: if the film takes a long time to get going, it seems to take an eternity to end.” Ouch, like a stake right to the movie’s heart…
The Fall Guy (November 30)
Capable of moving nimbly from swoons to stunts to…whatever ingenious daffiness he pulled off in Barbie, Ryan Gosling is a versatile movie star who didn’t quite manage to capitalise on those charms in this action-rom-com. Alongside Emily Blunt, he’s a retired stuntman who’s reluctantly dragged back into the industry, when he’s enlisted to find the missing lead of Blunt’s big blockbuster movie. “He’s playing all the hits”, Katie Parker critiqued in her relatively positive review of the movie, when it was in cinemas this April: “fortunately, they’re ones audiences will be only too happy to hear once again.” The movie also has some chuckles in store for Aussie audiences in particular, considering its sunny Sydney setting which includes a chase scene on the Harbour Bridge.
