Netflix highlights for mid-November include the second season of Bros, the final season of The Empress, Jessica Chastain's thriller Heartland, and a documentary by Ron Howard on photographer Richard Avedon.
Following Keira Knightley's return in the spy thriller Black Doves, Netflix continues its November lineup with several major releases, led by the return of Hanan Savyon and Guy Amir to the screen. The second season of Bros premieres on Thursday, alongside the final season of the historical drama The Empress, a new thriller starring Jessica Chastain, and a documentary by Ron Howard on one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.
The central recommendation of the week is the second season of Bros, the comedy-drama created by and starring Hanan Savyon and Guy Amir, the duo behind Asfur. The series follows Pini and Niso, two childhood friends from Jerusalem, Beitar Jerusalem fans, and pub partners. In the second season, the two attempt to rebuild their lives and relationships, but get entangled with an underworld figure threatening to return them to square one. Bros made history as the first Hebrew-language series ordered by Netflix as an original production.
The German historical drama The Empress, winner of the International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series, reaches its conclusion with six new episodes. At the center of the series is Elizabeth, Empress of Austria, known as Sisi, portrayed by Devrim Lingnau. In the final season, her marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph faces a deep crisis following his return from the war in Sardinia, forcing her to make a choice between her duties as empress and her personal desires.
One of the prominent cinematic releases of the week is Heartland, a new thriller starring Oscar winner Jessica Chastain. Chastain plays Misty Jones, a former country star who stepped away from the spotlight and leads an isolated life. When her niece, a young musician at the start of her success, disappears, Misty returns to Nashville to find out what happened to her, uncovering the dark sides of the country music industry.
Dark youth drama enthusiasts will receive Body, an eight-part horror drama created by Quinn Shepherd. The plot takes place in a Catholic girls' school where a dance group's initiation ritual spirals out of control, leading students to experience prophetic visions and strange physical phenomena. Meanwhile, Oscar-winning director Ron Howard returns to the documentary world with a film on Richard Avedon, one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, exploring how his imagery shaped modern visual culture.
