Hi,there! Have you missed Squid Game? Did you watch the period drama Australia and wish it was longer? Is the holiday season making you crave a Disney film?

Squid Game: The Challenge
Netflix reimagines its biggest international hit as an actual game show—though presumably no one dies. Streams Nov. 22.
Juno Temple and Jennifer Jason Leigh take the wheel in the latest season, which puts women front and center of its latest crime drama, about a woman whose mysterious past catches up with her in the form of Jon Hamm. Premieres Nov. 21.

You likely know Michelle Buteau from her scene-stealing performances, but the funny lady is also an accomplished writer. Her collection of essays about her hilarious (and relatable) life is an instant classic—and even better, after you read it, you can watch her Netflix comedy series of the same name! More Buteau is a very good thing.
