Squid Game: The Challenge The first four episodes of Squid Game: The Challenge season 2 drop on Netflix on Tuesday, November 4. Four more episodes arrive November 11, with the finale set for November 18. Inspired by the global phenomenon Squid Game, this survival reality competition brings high-stakes challenges to life, with contestants competing for a $4.56 million grand prize — and unlike the original series, elimination does not equal death. 456 contestants from around the world will try to become the ultimate Squid Game champion. Fans of season 1 won’t want to miss this binge-worthy Netflix reality series this week. The Vince Staples Show The second season of the critically acclaimed comedy series The Vince Staples Show arrives Thursday, November 6. Season 1, starring the famous Long Beach, CA rapper, earned a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score from audiences and critics. Premiering in February 2024 with just five episodes, season 1 is very easy to binge before the season 2 premiere. The show follows Vince through misadventures and stranger-than-fiction moments in his coastal hometown. Entertainment Weekly called it "a dark, hilarious, intriguingly frank, and kinda-sorta-autobiographical story of a guy from Long Beach, Calif., who just wants to make it through the day without incident." Comedy fans won’t want to miss this binge-worthy Netflix series. Death By Lightning The most anticipated new Netflix release this week is Death By Lightning, a 4-episode historical epic starring Nick Offerman (The Last of Us), Michael Shannon (The Bikeriders), Betty Gilpin (American Primeval), and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession). The miniseries dramatizes the assassination of 20th U.S. President James Garfield (Shannon) by Charles Guiteau (Macfadyen), based on the shocking true story from September 1881. With a powerhouse ensemble cast and a gripping historical narrative, Death By Lightning is a must-watch Netflix original this week. Fans of period dramas and true crime alike will want to binge it as soon as it drops on Thursday, November 6. Minx Both seasons of the critically acclaimed Starz comedy Minx arrive on Netflix on Tuesday, November 4. Set in 1970s Los Angeles, the 2022 series spans 18 episodes, each roughly 30 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight binge. Minx follows eager feminist Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), who launches the first erotic magazine for women. The series earned a Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 93%—including 98% for season 1—though it received mixed reactions from some audiences. Viewers should note that Minx carries a "severe" rating for Sex & Nudity on IMDb, but the explicit content is purposeful and complements the series’ themes and wit. Fans of Masters of Sex and GLOW will love this progressive comedy series. Broadchurch All three seasons of the BAFTA-winning crime series Broadchurch became available to stream on Netflix on November 1. If you haven’t watched this acclaimed series starring Olivia Colman and David Tennant, now is your perfect chance. Broadchurch follows detectives Alec Hardy (Tennant) and Ellie Miller (Colman) as they investigate the devastating murder of a young boy in an idyllic town. The 2013 series spans 24 episodes across three seasons, making it a perfect week-long binge. Season 3 earned a near-perfect 98% Rotten Tomatoes score, concluding the series at an all-time high. For a chilling, suspenseful whodunnit this week, Broadchurch is one of the best shows to binge on Netflix. Looking For More Binge Options This Week?
