NEW DELHI: Netflix's November 2026 movie calendar includes Guarding Stars on 18 November, Steps on 20 November and The Mosquito Bowl on 25 November. The platform has announced those dates on its official editorial pages, and all three films have Netflix India title listings. They offer three distinct choices for the rest of the month: a Christmas romance, an animated Cinderella adventure and a World War II drama.
This is a selected calendar of three announced film premieres, checked on 14 November 2026 at 12:17 AM IST. It focuses on movies with detailed official cast and story information, rather than mixing films with returning television seasons. The dates below are the announced Netflix premieres. A title page can appear before a film becomes playable, so its presence in the catalogue should be read alongside the release announcement.
| Netflix premiere | Film | Main cast | Story category |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 November 2026 | Guarding Stars | Leighton Meester, Jared Padalecki, Andie MacDowell | Holiday romantic comedy |
| 20 November 2026 | Steps | Ali Wong, Amanda Seyfried, Stephanie Hsu | Animated fairy tale adventure |
| 25 November 2026 | The Mosquito Bowl | Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, Ray Nicholson, Tom Francis | War drama based on a nonfiction book |
Guarding Stars release date: 18 November on Netflix
Netflix's official Guarding Stars announcement confirms the 18 November premiere and names Leighton Meester and Jared Padalecki as the leads. The setup follows a bodyguard assigned to protect an actor during the holidays. At a Montana ranch, the pair pretend to be a couple, allowing a professional assignment and a Christmas romance to become entangled.
The film draws on Katherine Center's 2022 novel The Bodyguard. Its screen title is Guarding Stars, a useful distinction for readers searching by the book's name. Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum directs. Netflix credits Erin Cardillo, Richard Keith, Gina Matthews and Grant Scharbo as writers. Andie MacDowell is also in the cast, alongside performers including Noah LaLonde, Toby Sandeman, Rachael Ancheril and Shaun Johnston.
The Netflix India listing for Guarding Stars displays a U/A 13+ maturity label and classifies it under romantic comedies, romantic movies and films based on books. Tudum's accompanying film information lists a runtime of one hour and 50 minutes. That gives viewers a specific time commitment for this first entry in the calendar.
Steps release date: 20 November and the voice cast
Steps arrives on 20 November. Netflix's animation slate announcement explicitly describes that as a global Netflix release date. Alyce Tzue and John Ripa direct the animated feature, which moves the Cinderella story's focus towards the stepsisters and the consequences of a stolen magic wand.
Ali Wong voices Lilith, Stephanie Hsu voices Margot and Amanda Seyfried voices Cinderella. When Lilith takes the Fairy Godmother's wand and disrupts the royal ball, the kingdom falls into the hands of Priscilla, voiced by Nikki Glaser. Lilith then has to work with Cinderella to repair the damage. The official synopsis makes the relationship between the sisters part of the adventure's central conflict.
Netflix's Steps cast and release guide also names Bette Midler as the Fairy Godmother, Daniel Radcliffe as the Prince, Young Mazino as Gef and Peter Dinklage as Roderick. Amy Poehler, Jane Hartwell and Kim Lessing produce the film. Those credits identify both the ensemble behind the characters and the team responsible for the feature.
The music is another specific part of the announced package. JENNIE contributes Someone to Hold, while Rose Gray, EMEI and Seyfried also contribute original music. Kris Bowers composed the score. The India title page for Steps displays U/A 7+ and places the film among family and comedy titles. Readers choosing it for younger viewers can check that local label before the premiere.
The Mosquito Bowl release date: 25 November
Netflix's The Mosquito Bowl guide confirms 25 November as the streaming date. Peter Berg directs and produces the film, adapted from Buzz Bissinger's nonfiction book The Mosquito Bowl: A Game of Life and Death in World War II. Its premise follows four college football players who enlist in the US Marines after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Nicholas Galitzine plays John McLaughry, Bill Skarsgård plays Bob Bauman, Ray Nicholson plays Tony Butkovich and Tom Francis plays David Schreiner. The official account links their story to a football game before the Battle of Okinawa. For viewers searching because of the sporting title, the film's announced setting and military premise make clear that war is central to its story.
Tudum lists a runtime of two hours and nine minutes. The Netflix India title page displays an A maturity label and includes military movies, drama and films based on real life among its categories. Netflix's feature also identifies Brian Grazer and Alex Gayner as producers alongside Berg. The runtime and local maturity label distinguish this entry from the romance and animated adventure earlier in the month.
Where to check the November Netflix movie schedule
Keep the official November Netflix calendar and each film's India title page together when planning. The calendar supplies the announced date, while the individual listing supplies the local title, cast and maturity information. This calendar makes no claim about a specific India release hour or Hindi dubbing: use the audio and subtitle options shown for the film when it becomes available.
For separate titles already covered by this desk, read the Possible Love release and runtime guide, the Dilwali Diwali Netflix guide and the O Saathi Re release guide. Each concerns its own film and provides another route into the platform's programme beyond these three November dates.
