Blade Runner 2099 Leads November's Literary Streaming Slate

Prime Video debuts Blade Runner 2099 on November 25, a Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer miniseries rooted in Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The show anchors a month that delivers nine literary film and TV titles across five streaming platforms.

Streaming services rotate their libraries every month. Literary Hub's November roundup tracks the book-based arrivals — three new premieres and six catalog titles — and the list spans 1967 to 2017 in source publication dates alone.

What's new in November?

• The Good Daughter — Peacock, November 12. Based on Karin Slaughter's 2017 instant New York Times bestseller of the same name. Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy play sisters whose lives were upended by violence decades earlier and who now face it again. Brendan Gleeson also stars. Slaughter adapted her own novel.
• Blade Runner 2099 — Prime Video, November 25. Silka Luisa's miniseries takes place 50 years after Blade Runner 2049. Replicants now rule the world, or at least Los Angeles, and humans sit at the bottom of the barrel. Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer star.
• The Mosquito Bowl — Netflix, November 25. Peter Berg and Buzz Bissinger reunite for an adaptation of Bissinger's 2022 book. It dramatizes the famous American football game played between two Marine regiments — which included many of the country's best players — at Guadalcanal during World War II. Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, Ray Nicholson and Tom Francis star.

Two of the three premieres land on the same day, November 25, splitting the month's biggest literary bets between Netflix and Prime Video.

Which throwback adaptations return?

Six catalog titles arrive on November 1, five of them on Paramount+ alone:

• The Outsiders (1983) — Paramount+. Francis Ford Coppola's proto-Brat Pack version of S.E. Hinton's 1967 coming-of-age novel. The cast runs deep: Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, Leif Garrett, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, C. Thomas Howell and Rob Lowe in his first feature film.
• Stand by Me (1986) — Netflix. Adapted from Stephen King's The Body (1982). King has repeatedly called it one of his favorite adaptations of his work.
• The Princess Bride (1987) — Peacock. William Goldman adapted his own 1973 novel.
• Revolutionary Road (2008) — Paramount+. Sam Mendes directs William Yates' 1961 novel of marital discontent. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star as Frank and April Wheeler, with Michael Shannon, Kathryn Hahn, David Harbour and Kathy Bates.
• Hugo (2011) — Paramount+. Martin Scorsese's 3-D adventure, based on Brian Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret (2007), follows an orphan in 1930s Paris who learns the magic of movies.
• The Meg (2018) — Hulu. Jason Statham versus a giant shark, from Steve Alten's Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror (1995). Literary Hub calls it one of the best "but did you know it was a literary adaptation?" movies ever made.

Which adaptation carries the most authorial weight?

Two titles on the list share a rare distinction: the novelist wrote the screenplay. Gillian Flynn adapted her own Gone Girl (2012) for David Fincher's film, which hits Paramount+ on November 1 with Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike as the central couple — and Literary Hub judges it almost as effective as the novel.

Slaughter performs the same double duty on The Good Daughter, giving November two author-led adaptations alongside Bissinger's direct involvement in The Mosquito Bowl.

The month's slate runs from a 1967 teen classic to a 2025-franchise extension. For readers who track page-to-screen provenance, November 1 and November 25 are the dates to circle.
