Best TV Shows and Movies Streaming in Australia This Month 2026

Wondering what to watch? The best TV shows and movies streaming in Australia this month include a South Korean drama that won the Silver Lion at Venice and a live-action family comedy from the studio behind Bluey. Here's what's worth your screen time.

Streaming platforms are ramping up their offerings as we head into the holiday season, with Netflix leading the charge. This month's highlights blend critical darlings with crowd-pleasing family fare, ensuring there's something for every taste.

Netflix: Possible Love and Allen Lead the Pack

Netflix continues to dominate the streaming landscape with a diverse slate. Two standout titles this month are Possible Love, a South Korean drama, and Allen, an Australian family comedy.

Possible Love: A Critically Acclaimed Drama

Out 6 November, Possible Love is directed by Lee Chang-dong and has already garnered significant praise, including the Silver Lion grand jury prize at the Venice Film Festival. The film stars Cho Yeo-jeong as a documentarian and Zo In-sung as her husband, alongside Jeon Do-yeon and Sul Kyung-gu as a struggling couple.

Inspired by mass layoffs and the protests that reshaped Korea's labour movement, the story explores class division, privilege, and exploitation through the lens of two married couples from opposite ends of the economic spectrum. Critics have called it "finely judged, beautifully acted" and "sombre, bittersweet, elegant."

Allen: A Family-Friendly Comedy with a Twist

Also out this month on 12 November, Allen marks the live-action debut of Ludo Studio, the Australian production company behind the global hit Bluey. This family-oriented comedy takes a quirky approach to extraterrestrials and formative experiences.

The protagonist is Petey (TJ Power), who is described as a grown-up version of Elliott from ET the Extra-Terrestrial, and who has never moved on from having an alien encounter in his youth. It's a heartwarming and humorous take on holding onto wonder.

Why These Titles Matter for Australian Audiences

The arrival of Possible Love and Allen on Netflix Australia reflects the platform's commitment to diverse storytelling. Australian viewers have shown a strong appetite for international content, particularly from Asia, and for local productions that resonate with universal themes.

Moreover, the release of Allen highlights the growing strength of Australia's animation and production talent. Ludo Studio's transition to live-action is a significant moment for the local industry, potentially paving the way for more Australian-produced films on global streaming platforms.
