Welcome to your October 2017 preview of what’s coming soon to Netflix throughout the month of October. Below, we’ll pick out some highlights as well as give you the complete preliminary list of all the movies, TV series, documentaries and stand-up specials headed our way over the next 31 days.

October will be absolutely dominated by Netflix Originals. Most of which are new titles which you probably won’t have heard of before, in which case, keep an eye on our news section where we’ll be previewing them all so you know which ones to dive into when the land on Netflix.

As always, this is just a preliminary list and it’s best to keep up to date with our new on Netflix section where we update daily as to what’s just arrived on Netflix.

Note: This list only applies to Netflix US

October 2017 Netflix Highlights

Netflix Originals

As we stated above, next month will be dominated by new Netflix Originals. We’ve outlined some in our special preview but we’ll briefly take you over the big ones below.

Stranger Things is perhaps Netflix’s biggest show at the moment and it’s finally returning after a long wait. Arriving around halloween, the team will have to face their biggest enemy yet which blows last season’s monster out of the water. Season 2 arrives on October 27th.

Three massive movies are also scheduled for October too from Netflix. Sandler’s fourth movie is arriving with it co-starring Ben Stiller with that movie called The Meyerowitz Stories. Frank Grillo will be starring in the movie adaptation to Wheelman arriving late in the month. Plus, after the success of IT, Netflix will be hoping its adaptation of Stephen Kings 1922 will blow audiences away just in time for Halloween.

Movies

Netflix is surprising light on the movie front from other providers in October 2017. The biggest hit comes from Quentin Tarantino with his eight movies that premiered last year, The Hateful Eight. It stars Samuel L Jackson and is set in the wild west and is one of the tensest Tarantino movies to date.

2006’s multi-Oscar nominated movie Blood Diamond will be available on October 1st, as will kids hits such as Charlie and Chocolate Factory and Penelope. Later in the month, the kids will be treated to the latest Smurfs movie.

TV Series

Netflix is also surprisingly light with new TV series too. That’s because October was typically the time where new CW and Fox content came to Netflix. The former now comes throughout the year and the latter is being removed completely.

Stephen King’s The Mist season 1 comes to Netflix which is a good series to watch around Halloween. The latest instalments of Schitt’s Creek and The Fosters will also be made available throughout October.
