The Triple Crown has reached its next stop. After the 150th Kentucky Derby, horse racing heads to Maryland for the 149th Preakness Stakes. This is the second race in the Triple Crown, with the third being the Belmont Stakes. The 2024 Preakness Stakes is held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

Mystik Dan opened as the morning line favorite at 5-2. Mystik Dan ran a magical race at Churchill Downs, narrowly beating Sierra Leone to win the 2024 Kentucky Derby. No horse has won the Triple Crown since 2018’s Justify. Mystik Dan’s toughest competition will be Catching Freedom and Imagination, both at 6-1.

What’s new on Netflix and what’s leaving in November 2024
A group of karate students stand together.

With only two months left in 2024, Netlifx is closing out the year with a bang in November. Of course it helps that Netflix has two prominent originals back with new episodes, including Cobra Kai season 6, part 2, as well as Arcane season 2, which will be split into three acts throughout the month.

There aren't as many new movies as usual in November, but Netflix is adding the first six Fast and Furious films, as well as The Whale, Oblivion, Whiplash, Focus, The Lost City, and Superbad. But knowing Netflix, some unheralded action flick will rise to the top of the movie rankings before the end of the month. You can almost set your clocks by it.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (November 2024)
A woman puts her head up against a window.

Netflix has a pair of original films in the top two slots of the list of the most popular movies on the streamer: Don't Move and Time Cut. The former is better than the latter, but you won't hear Netflix complaining about having two homegrown hits to kick off the month of November. They both qualify as horror films too, although they take very different approaches to the genre.

Thankfully, there are still a lot of other options, including the family-friendly animated flick, Kung Fu Panda 4, as well as Woman of the Hour, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and A Quiet Place Part II. Netflix has a particularly strong lineup of movies on loan from other studios at the moment, so enjoy it while it lasts. But if you need more options, check out our list of the best movies on Netflix right now. There's something here for everyone, and we update this list every Friday.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (November 2024)
Mark Wahlberg in Infinite.

Amazon Prime Video is turning over a new leaf in November. Or at least turning over its movie library. Many movies left Prime Video at the end of October, but new additions have arrived, including The Godfather, one of the all-time classics. Meanwhile, Infinite, a little-seen action film starring Mark Wahlberg, has suddenly found its audience on Prime Video. It's been the No. 1 movie on the streamer for almost two weeks now, which is impressive for a film that skipped theaters. Usually, it's Netflix that makes random action flicks into hits.

Last week's additions, Canary Black and Monkey Man, are still streaming for the action fans in your life. But if you still want some scares after Halloween, Terrifier 2, Constantine, and 10 Cloverfield Lane are sticking around through the end of the month. You can find these films and more among the best movies on Amazon Prime Video right now. We update this list every Friday morning so you can stay on top of the newest arrivals.
