The Santa Clauses – Season 2 – November 8

We're so sorry for publishing this here, now, when Halloween hasn't happened yet. But Christmas is – and again, we apologise – sort of around the corner, and the Christmas content is starting to come in thick and fast.

First up is the second season of The Santa Clauses, the comedy series spin-off of the well-loved Santa Clause film series. Scott Calvin is back in the North Pole with his family, and he's trying to teach his son how to Father Christmas so that he can retire, once and for all.

Culprits – November 8

This new heist series from the executive producer of The Night Manager and The Undoing, and the writer and director of I Care A Lot, is turns the much-loved genre on its head by focusing on the drama that happens after the thrilling caper. A team of master thieves, played by a stellar cast including Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits), Gemma Arterton, Eddie Izzard, Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Kamel El Basha, start being killed off years after retiring from their lives of crime.

A Murder at the End of the World – November 14

It's a familiar set up: an amateur detective (Emma Corrin) and eight guests are invited to a billionaire's house and one of the guests gets bumped off. But this is far from a cosy Agatha Christie-style whodunnit. Co-created by Brit Marling (who also stars in the series) alongside Zal Batmanglij (The OA), the trailer alone is enough to set anyone's nerves on edge as scenes flash from a young couple to an isolated mountaintop mansion, from masked strangers to a car tumbling down the hill, a from a child cycling down a corridor to Corrin's character lying on the floor with a bloody face. Prepare to be chilled in this mind-bending psychological thriller also starring Clive Owen and Harris Dickinson.

Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story – November 15

Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story starring Keanu Reeves and Jenson Button
Disney+ UK

In this new four-part documentary, petrolhead Keanu Reeves will tell the story of the shock 2009 World Championship win by motorsport team Brawn GP. The team, originally called Honda Racing F1 Team, had been bought the previous year for £1 by Honda’s former technical director, Ross Brawn. They struggled financially, competing alongside other teams backed by the likes of Ferrari and McLaren, but somehow managed to come out on top: a 29-year-old Jenson Button achieved his first and only Formula One World Driver's Championship win. In the docuseries, Reeves will speak to the story's key players including Brawn, Nick Fry, Rubens Barrichello, Christian Horner and Button.

The Artful Dodger – November 29

Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Love Actually. Queen's Gambit) stars as the Artful Dodger, the cunning pickpocket from Charles Dickens' 1838 novel Oliver Twist, in this exhilarating reimagining of the miserable Victorian novel. The story begins in Australia in 1850: the Artful Dodger is now Jack Dawkins, a surgeon. But despite having a go at being respectable, Jack's criminal history starts to catch up with him. David Thewlis (Harry Potter) stars as Fagin.

American Horror Stories – Season 3 – November 29

 It's a testament to the success of American Horror Story that despite there being literally hundreds of hours of the horror anthology out there, there has been enough demand for a spin-off series: American Horror Stories, which premiered in 2021, is a weekly anthology series of stand-alone horror stories. Now returning for its third series, the offshoot show promises more gore, strange characters, and stomach-churning plots.
