8 New TV Shows to Watch November 13–15 on Netflix, Prime Video and HBO

VisionQuest has concluded its first season with a post-credits scene that has major implications for Avengers: Doomsday. The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power is back for a third season, set thousands of years before Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. Netflix also has The Body, a campy high school drama with religious horror mixed in.

Thriller fans can watch The Good Daughter, a six-episode adaptation of Karin Slaughter’s bestseller. Slaughter adapted the novel herself and serves as showrunner. There’s also 12 12 12, starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan as two men caught in a high-stakes pursuit after a robbery.

For viewers interested in crime stories, Murder in Galicia dramatizes the case of 66-year-old Isabel Fuente, who was beaten in her sleep. Her husband claimed that intruders had entered their home. HBO’s Silent Night is based on murders committed on Christmas Eve in 1976 in a small Polish community.

1. The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power

• Available on Prime Video
• Genre: Fantasy
• Episode count: 8
• Cast: Morfydd Clark, Robert Aramayo, Charlie Vickers

The third season returns to Middle-earth thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Set five years after season 2, it follows Sauron as he establishes his power. The season is billed as a soft reboot for new viewers and an attempt to correct the series’ earlier problems.

From Polygon’s review:

Prequels always have difficulty justifying their existence since it’s a foregone conclusion how the story will end. Last season, Rings of Power leaned into that inevitability in the same way as the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, building a Shakespearean tragedy from the corruption of the dwarf king Durin III (Peter Mullan) and the elven smith Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards). There’s still some of that in season 3 as the island kingdom of Númenor and the dwarven stronghold of Khazad-dûm inch closer to their dark fates. But the show also spends too much time taking the same approach as Solo: A Star Wars Story, providing unnecessary origins for everything from the construction plans of Lothlorien to the origins Gandalf’s hat.

2. The Body

• Available on Netflix
• Genre: Horror-comedy
• Episode count: 8
• Cast: Kristina Bogic, Geena Meszarous, Sara Boustany

Set in 2004, The Body follows a dance team at a Catholic high school somewhere in the Northeast. After the girls party too hard and botch an initiation ceremony, mass hysteria spreads through the town as residents come to believe a saint is among them.

From Polygon’s review:

One of the best parts of The Body is its many references. Shephard borrows archetypes and textures from films like Bring It On, Mean Girls, and White Chicks. Story-wise, there are clear shades of The Crucible and The Exorcist. The show’s cast of characters take these archetypes and complicate them. With dyed eyebrows and a sweet but alienating approach, Lisbeth feels like Needy from Jennifer’s Body with a dash of Brigitte from Ginger Snaps. Anya and Elise are clear successors to Bring It On’s Torrance and Missy, who raised a generation of queer viewers with their ridiculously charged friendship. But the great thing about The Body is that even though it depicts the aughts and the social concerns of the era, it’s made in 2026, allowing the writers to revisit these tropes and probe further.

3. The Good Daughter

• Available on Peacock
• Genre: Thriller
• Episode count: 6
• Cast: Rose Byrne, Meghann Fahy, Brendan Gleeson

Set in Georgia, The Good Daughter follows two estranged sisters brought together by a school shooting that may be closely tied to their past. They have spent years apart since a group of men broke into their childhood home, killed their mother and gravely injured one of the sisters.

4. 12 12 12
