New on Disney Plus UK in November 2022: best TV series & film releases to watch, from Reboot to The Patient

As ever, a new month means new television to watch – and on Disney+ that can mean a deluge of originals, exclusives, and old favourites to wade through.

It can be difficult to make sense of what’s coming to Disney, so we’ve organised the streaming service’s November releases into a list of dramas, comedies, documentaries, films, and international series.

Here’s your guide to everything that’s new on Disney+ UK this November, with a few highlighted top picks to help you decide what to watch.

Drama
