What's New And Black On Streaming In November

By Keyaira Boone · Updated November 8, 2021

This month on streaming services classic ‘90s sitcoms, new rap comedies, and sports biopics are on the menu. 

Filmmakers are exploring the realities of mental illness, revealing callous foreign policies, and exposing the inadequacies in our national approaches to crisis response by bringing to life stories that highlight how poorly we treat those suffering. 

Beloved franchises are returning with the help of some of the faces that made me fall in love with them. See an IT girl bring her trademark smile back to the role that made her household name. Watch a skirt-chasing jock grasp for a legacy making position off of the football field, or follow a legend as she works to impart her wisdom to the next generation of hip-hop heroines.
