Happy first of the month! I’m coming to you from San Antonio, Texas, for your look at everything new added to Netflix in the United States on October 1st, 2024. It’s been a big changeover day, with lots of titles cycling on and off the service. 

While Netflix gained a bunch of new titles today, it also lost its fair share too. Over 60 movies were removed in total, including hits like all the Back to the Future entries and Hacksaw Ridge, plus every season of How To Get Away With Murder. You can see the full list of departures for October here and we’ll start tracking the November removals a little later this week. 

As mentioned, Netflix released their fourth batch of Milestone Movies with today’s batch all celebrating their 20th anniversary.
