Netflix has some real humdingers coming your way in November, from a stunning book adaptation and do-or-die gameshow through to in-depth celebrity documentaries and an intense psychological thriller.

First up is gripping Second World War drama All The Light We Cannot See, which drops on November 2. After selling more than 15 million copies worldwide, Anthony Doerr's tale of a blind girl trying to reunite with her father while forging an unlikely friendship with a young Nazi recruit, is brought to the screen by Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy.

The limited series follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope.

Squid Game: The Challenge (Season 1) will doubtless have you hooked when it lands on November 22. Inspired by the much-loved TV drama series of the same name, this new show pits 456 real-life contestants against one another in a series of high-stakes children's games in an effort to bag a massive $4.56 million cash prize. Their strategies, alliances, and character will all be put to the test as competitors are eliminated around them - but not eliminated in that way, you'll be pleased to learn!

If all that isn't enough, there's also A Nearly Normal Family released on November 24. The six-parter is based on the highly-regarded novel by Swedish author Mattias Edvardsson, which has been sold in 35 countries worldwide. The book attracted rave reviews across the globe, with many praising it as a taut, psychological thriller and a genuine page-turner. The tale involves the Sandell family, made up of priest Adam, lawyer Ulrika and their 19-year-old daughter Stella. They live a seemingly perfect life in a polished residential suburb outside of Lund, Sweden. One day, everything changes when Stella ends up in custody, accused of murder. Her devastated parents don’t know what to do. What has happened? They want to help Stella at any cost, but do they really know their daughter? Or each other?”
