What's New on Paramount Plus in November 2021

Jeremy Renner is aiming to have a double-plus good November. Over on Disney+, he’s the face of the next Marvel Cinematic Universe spinoff, Hawk Guy Hawkeye, while on Nov. 14, Paramount+ is launching Mayor of Kingstown, a 10-part crime thriller series with the Oscar-nominee playing the head of a Michigan crime family (I didn’t know they had those in Michigan).

The talent shows that Paramount means business in establishing its streamer as prestige TV: Oscar-winner Diane Wiest plays the matriarch of the family, with Game of Thrones’ Aiden Gillen and Friday Night Lights’ Kyle Chandler in supporting roles. Oscar-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or High Water) co-created with Hugh Dillon; the two also worked together on Paramount’s sleeper hit Yellowstone.

In, er, less prestigious debuts, Paramount+ will also host the streaming premiere of Clifford the Big Red Dog (Nov. 10), which I (a parent of two young kids who love dogs) have been dreading ever since those early, terrifying set photos leaked a few years back. After multiple pandemic-related delays, the film will drop on streaming the same day it arrives in theatres.

And not to bury the lede, but the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery — unquestionably Paramount+’s series d’ê·tre — begins Nov. 18, with a new captain sitting in the big chair and a new threat in the form of some kinda space anomaly. (Isn’t there always.)

Here’s everything coming to Paramount+ in November, helpfully segregated by category (because their PR folks are kind enough to provide it in that format).
