“Enola Holmes 2” (2022)

The game is afoot once more! A new mystery comes to Netflix when “Enola Holmes 2” premieres Thursday, Nov. 3. Fresh off the high of solving her first-ever case, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown, “Stranger Things”), enterprising younger sister to the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill, “The Witcher”), follows in her brother’s footsteps and opens her very own detective agency. But Enola quickly finds out that starting her own business — especially as a single young woman in late 19th-century London — is anything but easy. Ready to give up entirely, Enola’s luck seems to turn around when a penniless matchstick girl comes to her with a job: find her missing sister. As the case unravels and proves to be more puzzling than anyone could have expected, Enola calls upon the help of her friends and her famous brother to solve the mystery. Based on the young adult mystery books series by Nancy Springer, which is itself inspired by the characters and stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, “Enola Holmes 2” is directed by Harry Bradbeer (“Fleabag”) and features a screenplay by Jack Thorne (“His Dark Materials”). The film also stars David Thewlis (“The Sandman”), Louis Partridge (“Pistol”), Susan Wokoma (“Cheaters”), Adeel Akhtar (“The Big Sick,” 2017), Sharon DuncanBrewster (“Dune,” 2021), Helena Bonham Carter (“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” 2007), Hannah Dodd (“Eternals,” 2021), David Westhead (“W1A”) and relative newcomer Rachel Kwok.

“Lookism” - Season 1

Defy convention with Netflix’s newest anime series “Lookism,” premiering Friday, Nov. 4. Based on Park Tae-joon’s popular manhwa (South Korean web comic) of the same name, “Lookism” follows 17-year-old Park Hyung-suk, who has always been considered far from conventionally attractive in a society that favors good looks above almost all else. Relentlessly bullied for his weight, his looks and his family’s financial situation, Hyung-suk transfers to Seoul’s Jae Won High, a prep school with an unconventional approach to education. Just days before he’s due to start at his new school, Hyung-suk wakes to find himself in an idealized version of his own body but quickly realizes his old, “unattractive” body is still next to him in bed. Both bodies are still his, and when he falls asleep in one, he wakes up in the other. As Hyung-suk adjusts to his life with two drastically different bodies, he must learn to navigate his new school and his much more popular life while trying to get to the bottom of his strange new powers. Written by original comic creator Park, “Lookism” voice stars Shim Kyu-hyuk (“The Haunted House: The Secret of the Cave,” 2018), Han Shin (“Dino Mecard the Movie: The Tinysaur Island,” 2019) and Hwang Chang-yung (“Pororo 5: Treasure Island Adventure,” 2019).

“God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty” (2022)

Delve into the details of one couple’s high-profile scandal when the documentary “God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty” premieres Tuesday, Nov. 1, on Hulu. In August 2020, Reuters brought accusations of a years-long affair between Becki Tilley, the wife of evangelical leader and former Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., and Giancarlo Granda, a pool attendant the pair had met in Miami in 2012. However, it wasn’t until the spring of this year that Falwell Jr. and Tilley admitted to the affair, despite Granda insisting that Falwell Jr. was involved in the relationship from the beginning. Told largely from Granda’s perspective, “God Forbid” details the pool attendant’s experience “trapped in a seven-year affair with a charming older woman and her husband ... as he becomes increasingly entangled with the Falwell’s seemingly perfect lives” (per Hulu). Executive produced by Adam McKay (“Vice,” 2018) and Todd Schulman (“The Invisible Pilot,” 2022) of HyperObject, and Alfred Spellman and Billy Corben (both of “Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami”) for Rakontur, the documentary is directed by Corben.

“Crimes of the Future” (2022)

Scientific progress meets performance art in the new body horror flick “Crimes of the Future,” making its Hulu premiere on Halloween, Monday, Oct. 31. Set during a time in the not-so-distant future, when science has advanced to such a point that the human body is now capable of drastic transformations and adaptations to better suit its surroundings, the world is divided on the progress. While some people are embracing the new possibilities with regard to genetic and cellular modification, others are wary of the potentially deadly effects and are trying to police it. Amid the politics, a man named Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen, “A History of Violence,” 2005) and his assistant, Caprice (Léa Seydoux, “Midnight in Paris,” 2011), publicly display the metamorphosis of his organs to varying degrees across a series of avant-garde performance events. Written and directed by Canadian filmmaker and master of body horror David Cronenberg (“The Fly,” 1986), “Crimes of the Future” also stars Kristen Stewart (“Spencer,” 2021), Scott Speedman (“The Strangers,” 2008), Don McKellar (“The Red Violin,” 1998), Lihi Kornowski (“Losing Alice”), Tanaya Beatty (“Yellowstone”), Nadia Litz (“Hotel Congress,” 2014), Welket Bungué (“Berlin Alexanderplatz,” 2020), Efi Kantza (“Sisters Apart,” 2020) and newcomer Tassos Karahalios.

With their adopted dad Dave (Jason Lee, “My Name Is Earl”) as their mentor, they have a pretty good handle on things, but that doesn’t stop the trio from causing their fair share of ‘munk mischief.

After meeting on a beach during the summer, Marion is immediately enchanted by Tom and the two begin a relationship. But when Patrick becomes fast friends with the couple, a burgeoning love between himself and Tom complicates matters even further. As the young trio falls into a romantic triangle that will change their lives forever, a flash forward to the 1990s finds them all reeling with longing and regret.

After assessing the damage and realizing there are no immediately life-threatening injuries, they begin to look for a way out. But their handle on the situation is quickly lost when they are taunted by someone — or something — outside the bus. Now the group must decide if they are safer in the bus, getting picked off one by one, or if they should venture out into the wilderness where their attacker is lurking.
