New on Netflix: 5 shows and movies to watch this week (Nov. 6-12)

Michael Fassbender in The Killer.

As we enter November proper, it’s time to take a look at what’s up next on one of the biggest streaming platforms around. While you prep for Black Friday sales and figure out what to cook for the big dinner later this month, we’ve sifted through this week’s new on Netflix content to see what’s worth checking out. 

The major standout is The Killer, a tense tale about an assassin (Michael Fassbender) who misses his target and has to go on a world-spanning trip to track them down. While he makes his way around the globe to track down where the person he needs to take care of has gone, he relates tales about his previous jobs and ruminates on his life in the profession. 

There’s also Escaping Twin Flames, a documentary that explores the online love community Twin Flames Universe, which has long been under fire for the way its creators, Jeff and Shaleia Divine, have allegedly encouraged toxic and cult-like behaviors.

Also new on Netflix is The Claus Family 3, just in time for the holidays, which finds the grandchildren of Santa himself taking on the responsibility of delivering gifts to everyone around the world without his guidance. 

Below, check out our day-by-day rundown of what's new on Netflix this week.

Celebrate six decades of laughter with The Improv at 60, a one-night event that brings together a star-studded lineup of today’s biggest acts.

This special anniversary show is packed with original performances and exclusive footage from the comedic institution.

Escaping Twin Flames

Explore the world of online love gurus with this three-part documentary series. It offers a critical look at Twin Flames Universe, a controversial online community led by Jeff and Shaleia Divine, who promise to help people find their soulmates through paid classes and mentorship. However, as former members come forward, a darker side of this digital "paradise" emerges, with claims of alleged manipulation, exploitation, and encouragement of harmful behaviors, including stalking and identity distortion. There's a lot to ask about the Twin Flames Universe philosophy and how it changes its followers, but the real question seems to be how Jeff and Shaleia have continued to get away with it over the years.
