Showtime has announced the lineup of movies, TV shows, and sports programming coming to the service in November. The Showtime November 2022 lineup includes docuseries Spector, The L Word: Generation Q Season 3, The Circus Season 7, Ziwe Season 2, and much more.
A true crime nailbiter, four-part docuseries Spector examines the life of legendary music producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector and the tragic murder of actress Lana Clarkson in his Los Angeles mansion. With each episode, the docuseries unravels what happened on the fateful night of Feb. 3, 2003, and how each of the characters’ destinies became intertwined.
Building on the drama and suspense of last season, The L Word: Generation Q is back with unexpected conflicts, old secrets, and new flames as this season’s characters continue their quest for love. Follow the character Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals), who is on the brink of a devastating letdown or startling confession after Tina (guest star Laurel Holloman) appears at her door.
Finley (Jacqueline Toboni) also returns from rehab and discovers news about Sophie (Rosanny Zayas) that threatens both her sobriety and their relationship.
Season seven of The Circus concludes with an hour-long finale on Nov. 13. Democrats and Republicans battle for governorships, congressional seats, and more in the midterm elections, and former President Donald Trump has been facing serious investigations since leaving office.
As the GOP aims to control both chambers of Congress and backlash to the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe vs. Wade continues, The Circus dives in to capture this exhilarating and divisive moment in American history.
The Showtime November 2022 slate also includes Showtime Championship Boxing, which kicks off with a rousing skirmish between unbeaten Super Middleweight Champion David Morrell Jr. and his undefeated challenger, Aidos Yerbossynuly, in the main event from Minneapolis’ The Armory on Saturday, Nov. 5.
Later in the month, on Friday, Nov. 18, Bellator MMA light heavyweight titlist Vadim Nemkov is back for round two against the No. 1-ranked Corey Anderson for a massive $1 million grand prize.
Throughout November, Showtime subscribers also have access to a handful of exceptional fall collections, including the “All Aboard the Thanksgiving Express, Nonstop to Dysfunction Junction!” collection and “The Sweltering Cinema: Deadly Passion” collection.
You can view the Showtime November 2022 originals, followed by the movie release schedule and streaming collections, below.
SHOWTIME NOVEMBER 2022 ORIGINALS
SPECTOR – Streaming Docuseries Premiere: Friday, November 4 | Finale: Sunday, November 27
Spector examines how the destinies of Phil Spector and Lana Clarkson became intertwined with the report of a fatal shooting of a woman at the eccentric French chateau-style mansion in Los Angeles owned by the legendary music producer. The victim was Lana Clarkson, a charismatic and once prolific film actress whom he had met just that night.
Through the lens of this notorious crime and the infamous trial that followed, this four-part documentary series peels back the layers of what actually happened that night to tell the stories of both Clarkson and the man who was convicted of her murder.
In doing so, Spector re-examines the life and career of an important yet enigmatic cultural figure of the 20th century — a man responsible for countless hit records, including “Be My Baby,” “Da Do Run Run,” and “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling” — and a bygone era of Hollywood and the music industry.
THE L WORD: GENERATION Q – Streaming Season Premiere: Friday, November 18
Picking up right where the dramatic season two cliffhanger left off, The L Word: Generation Q continues to follow the cast of characters as they struggle with secrets, old scars, and new flames on their search for “the one.” Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals) is on the brink of a devastating letdown or startling confession after Tina (guest star Laurel Holloman) appears at her door; while they determine their future together, their daughter Angie (Jordan Hull) embraces her new freedom at college, finding love in all the wrong places.
At the bungalow, Finley (Jacqueline Toboni) returns from rehab and discovers news about Sophie (Rosanny Zayas) that threatens both her sobriety and their relationship. Meanwhile, Dani (Arienne Mandi) and Micah (Leo Sheng) both attempt to take major steps forward in their relationships, but Gigi’s (Sepideh Moafi) baggage and Maribel’s (guest star Jillian Mercado) temper put their plans to the test.
The drama heightens as Shane (Kate Moennig) and Tess (Jamie Clayton) grapple with secrets that could tear them apart for good, while Alice (Leisha Hailey) questions whether she’ll ever find her soulmate or if she’s doomed to be alone forever. Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Faison also return to guest star in their roles of Carrie and Tom, respectively.
ZIWE SEASON 2 – Six new episodes premiere starting on Friday, November 18
The second installment of episodes from Season 2 will feature Ziwe’s signature sit-down interviews with guests including Michael Che, Julia Fox, Amber Riley, Blake Griffin, Joel Kim Booster, Bob The Drag Queen, DeRay Mckesson, Drew Barrymore, and Wayne Brady.
Ziwe will also feature special guest appearances by Marie Faustin, Benito Skinner, Chloe Cherry, Aparna Nancherla, River L. Ramirez, AnnaSophia Robb, John Reynolds, Larry Owens, Amy Sedaris, Laura Benanti, Scott Adsit, Jackie Hoffman and Josh Sharpe, along with musical performances by Ziwe, sketches and more.
THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH – Streaming Docuseries Finale: Sunday, November 13
Hosted by John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon, and Jennifer Palmieri, The Circus returns to capture the exhilarating eight-week sprint to Election Day, with Democrats and Republicans facing off in what may be the most consequential midterm election in modern history. With Biden’s approval ratings flagging amid economic headwinds, the GOP aims to seize control of both chambers of Congress and derail the administration’s agenda.
Signs of a potent backlash to the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe vs. Wade could bolster the Democratic defense, and while Republican kingmaker former President Donald Trump weighs a presidential run, multiple investigations are accelerating into his role in fomenting the January 6th insurrection, attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and his handling of classified documents since leaving office.
The Circus will pull back the curtain on this extraordinary and precarious moment for America.
