November is almost here, and BritBox is bringing us a lineup that's short – but very sweet (including a new season of Shakespeare & Hathaway).

New Shows Coming to BritBox (US) in November 2025

November 7th Premieres

Belgravia

On the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, a secret between two young lovers sets off a chain of events that will echo through generations. Years later, when the modest Trenchard family—played by Tamsin Greig (Riot Women) and Philip Glenister (After the Flood)—settles in the elite London district of Belgravia, their path crosses with the aristocratic Brockenhursts (Harriet Walter, Archie; Tom Wilkinson, The Full Monty). As long-buried connections emerge, both families face scandals that threaten reputations, inheritances, and fragile alliances. In a world where status is everything, pride and loyalty are tested, and love may come at a steep cost. All six episodes will be released at once.

November 13th Premieres

Blue Lights, Season 3

Two years into life on the front lines, response officers Grace (Sian Brooke, Sherlock), Annie (Katherine Devlin, The Day of the Jackal), and Tommy (Nathan Braniff) are no strangers to the pressure of policing Belfast’s streets. But when their cases lead them into the polished world of professionals—accountants, lawyers, and financiers quietly enabling organised crime—they find themselves facing threats they never trained for. With the old power structures gone, a new global gang presence is taking hold, and danger is moving in closer than ever. There are six hour-long episodes in the new season, and they will be released at a rate of one per week.

November 21st Premieres

Friday Night Dinner

Every Friday night, brothers Adam and Jonny return to their childhood home for an awkwardly funny family dinner with their eccentric parents. Their mum, endlessly optimistic, insists on tradition and togetherness, while their dad roams the house shirtless, obsessed with nonsense like eating expired food. Add in frequent interruptions from their oddball neighbor Jim and his fearful dog Wilson, and chaos is guaranteed. Starring Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners), Tom Rosenthal (Plebs), Tamsin Greig (Green Wing), and the late, great Paul Ritter (Chernobyl), this sharp British sitcom turns ordinary Jewish family life into absurd comedy.

Seasons will be released as follows in November:

November 21st: Season 1 (binge premiere)
November 21st: Season 2 (binge premiere)

We assume later seasons will arrive in the coming months, but there's been no official confirmation of that yet.

November 25th Premieres

Shakespeare & Hathaway returns November 25th

Shakespeare & Hathaway, Season 5

Frank and Lu are back on the case in Stratford-upon-Avon, navigating new murders and mayhem with their usual mix of bickering and brilliance. Former detective Frank Hathaway (Mark Benton, Inside No. 9) and ex-hairdresser Luella Shakespeare (Jo Joyner, EastEnders) may have gone their separate ways, but fate—and crime—bring them together again, joined by their flamboyant assistant Sebastian (Patrick Walshe McBride, The Chelsea Detective). This season’s cases include a horror film director haunted by his own creation, a suspicious death at a corporate retreat, and a murder mystery weekend that turns deadly. Meanwhile, a shadowy saboteur threatens the agency itself, and tech expert Spider (Darren Evans, The Guest) may be the key to stopping them. New episodes air weekly, with a total of ten hour-long episodes.
