This November Paramount+ is serving up a feast of entertainment for every member of the household for which to be thankful. We have a double serving of series that feature quirky couples in newly premiering Colin From Accounts and The Curse. History buffs will love the chance to dig into the rich story of the Wild West’s first Black U.S. deputy marshal in Lawmen: Bass Reeves. Sports fans will enjoy an incredible spread of pro and college football games over the holiday week, and fast food is on the menu with the premiere of the nostalgic Paramount+ original film Good Burger 2. For a closer look at all the entertainment coming to Paramount+ in November, check out the latest edition of View From the Peak. IN THE SPOTLIGHT David Oyelowo and Lauren Banks in Lawmen: Bass Reeves   In November, Lawmen: Bass Reeves joins the elite collection of Paramount+ Original Series set in the Wild West. Created for television by executive producer, writer and showrunner Chad Feehan and executive produced by Taylor Sheridan and series lead David Oyelowo, the show tells the gripping story of U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves (Oyelowo), famed for apprehending more than 3,000 outlaws during his time. We sat down with Feehan to get his insights into the creation of the series. Not enough Americans know about Bass Reeves, the first Black U.S. deputy marshal west of the Mississippi; what attracted you to telling this story? I was attracted by the triumph of his spirit. Bass Reeves was a real-life superhero, who overcame unimaginable circumstances and dedicated his life to justice and equality in a lawless region of American history. I’m honored and humbled to be a part of the team that celebrates Bass’ legacy. Expanding on that, can you talk about how important it was to authentically depict the diversity of Texas during this time period? Our series begins with enslavement and carries through Reconstruction to the first cruel whispers of Jim Crow. During this time, Texas, the Indian Territory and Arkansas were home to multiple cultures, races and creeds. Not only was it important to depict that as authentically as possible, but more so, we wanted to explore the universality of the human condition and the emotionality that connects all of us. What was it like to collaborate with David Oyelowo as you developed the series and the title character? In my opinion, television writing is a team sport. Not only does that include a wide array of voices in the writers’ room, but it also extends to historians, researchers and various experts. Our series was incredibly fortunate to rely on the likes of David as well as Sidney Thompson, Mo Brings Plenty and many others, who shepherded us into recreating an authentic picture of the American West. Without giving any spoilers, what are you most excited for audiences to see? I’m excited for our audiences to see a portrayal of Bass Reeves – the lawman, the husband and the father – as well as experience a story that’s thrilling, heroic and emotionally complex. No one is above the law when Lawmen: Bass Reeves premieres on November 5. WATCH THE TRAILER BEHIND THE STREAMS Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall in Colin From Accounts Next month, Colin From Accounts makes its streaming debut in the U.S. on Paramount+. The series follows the unconventional meet cute between Ashley (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall), which involves an unexpected flash, a car accident and an adorable dog in need of assistance. While many rom coms tend toward the fanciful, executive producer Trent O’Donnell wanted to keep the show grounded and authentic. “It's messy and weird in a good, specific way," said O’Donnell. “I think the real strength of the show is in the real-life moments. There are so many funny, beautifully observed stories that often feel too inappropriate for a romantic comedy. They tend to play the best.” While working with the show’s human leads was a dream, their canine co-stars were another story. “There were two dogs that played Colin: Zak and Buster,” said O’Donnell. “I was a big Zak guy. Buster and I definitely clashed more.” Boy meets girl...and dog when Colin From Accounts premieres on November 9. WATCH THE TRAILER MOUNTAIN OF MOVIES Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell at New York Comic Con Welcome back to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger! After 25 years, best pals Dexter and Ed, played by comedy legends Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, have reunited and are ready to take your order in Good Burger 2. Fans of the 1997 cult-classic comedy will be thrilled to see the return of the iconic Burgermobile, a highly modified 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible that sports a custom burger hood, hot-dog headrests, pickle hubcaps and French-fry windshield wipers. The new Burgermobile, which clocks in at more than 5,000 pounds (or 1,500 Good Burgers), recently made its first-ever appearance at New York Comic Con. Two versions of the car were made, but one comically was destroyed during filming. Dex and Ed will deliver laughs for the whole family when Good Burger 2 premieres on November 22. WATCH THE TEASER HIGH SCORE NFL players Joe Burrow, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes Heat up those leftovers; get cozy on the couch; and settle in for an unmatched lineup of live sports on Paramount+ this Thanksgiving holiday.    The action begins on Thanksgiving Day with the NFL on CBS when the Washington Commanders take on the Dallas Cowboys.
