Every Sci-Fi Movie & TV Show Coming Out in November 2025

November is stacked with first-run sci-fi at the movies and on the biggest streamers, with fresh stories alongside returning favorites wrapping up their arcs. The month opens with a new chapter in the ‘Predator’ universe and a modern spin on a classic Stephen King dystopia in theaters, plus Guillermo del Toro’s take on ‘Frankenstein’ landing at home. Netflix brings the ‘Jurassic World’ animated saga to a finale before ‘Stranger Things’ starts its last stand, while Apple TV+ debuts Vince Gilligan’s new series ‘Pluribus’ and bows the final season of ‘WondLa’. Below are the key releases, what they are about, when they arrive, and where to watch.

‘Predator: Badlands’ (2025)

Dan Trachtenberg returns to the franchise with a story that follows Dek, an outcast Yautja, who teams up with an android named Thia on a hostile alien world. The film shifts perspective to Predator culture and is rated PG-13 due to stylized nonhuman combat while still staging large scale creature battles. It opens in movie theaters on November 7 and explores how Dek faces rival hunters on the path to confronting an apex Predator. Trachtenberg has described Thia as a steady, unflappable partner whose skills complement Dek’s brutal learning curve.

‘The Running Man’ (2025)

Edgar Wright directs a new adaptation of Stephen King’s novel that follows Ben Richards, a desperate father who enters a deadly reality competition where he must evade professional hunters for a cash prize. The film returns to the book’s road chase premise with action across numerous locations instead of an arena setting. Glen Powell leads a cast that includes Colman Domingo and Josh Brolin, with the showrunner character orchestrating the televised manhunt. It hits movie theaters on November 14.

‘Altered’ (2025)

Timo Vuorensola’s action sci-fi follows Leon and Chloe, outcasts in a society dominated by genetically enhanced elites, as they target corrupt officials exploiting that divide. The feature runs 87 minutes and carries a PG-13 rating for violence and brief bloody imagery. It opens in limited theatrical release on November 21 and will be available on digital the same day. Well Go USA is handling distribution in North America.

‘Pluribus’ (2025– )

Vince Gilligan’s new Apple TV+ series centers on Carol, billed as the most miserable person on Earth, who becomes the unlikely key to saving the world from a strange wave of manufactured happiness. The first season runs nine episodes and debuts with two episodes on November 7 followed by weekly installments through late December. Rhea Seehorn stars with Karolina Wydra and Carlos Manuel Vesga, and Apple has already ordered a second season. The series streams exclusively on Apple TV+.

‘Frankenstein’ (2025)

Guillermo del Toro writes and directs a new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel with Jacob Elordi as the creature and Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz among the ensemble. After a fall festival run that included Venice and Toronto, the film had a limited theatrical window in October ahead of its streaming debut. It releases on Netflix on November 7 and runs about 150 minutes. The production teams include frequent del Toro collaborators and features music by Alexandre Desplat.

‘Jurassic World: Chaos Theory’ (2024–2025)

The ‘Camp Cretaceous’ crew reunites years later and uncovers a global conspiracy that threatens both dinosaurs and humans as they chase the truth about one of their own. Executive producers include Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, and Colin Trevorrow, with showrunners Aaron Hammersley and Scott Kreamer. The final season arrives on Netflix on November 20 and concludes the animated sequel series. Voice cast members from the earlier show return alongside new additions.

‘Stranger Things’ (2016–2025)

The fifth and final season rolls out in three parts on Netflix with Volume 1 on November 26 followed by additional drops on December 25 and December 31. The season brings back the core ensemble including Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, and Winona Ryder as the battle with the Upside Down reaches its conclusion. The release is structured to build momentum through the holidays before the series finale on New Year’s Eve. All episodes stream exclusively on Netflix.

‘WondLa’ (2024–2025)

Apple TV+ closes out its animated trilogy based on Tony DiTerlizzi’s books with a final season that sees Eva racing to recover the Heart of the Forest and unite humans and aliens to save Orbona. The show blends sci-fi and adventure with returning characters like Otto and Rovender and production from Skydance Animation. The third and final season premieres on November 26 on Apple TV+. Apple has previewed the new season’s storyline and confirmed the global release date.
