It's officially Spooky Season, and Netflix has...gone a bit light on the spookies.
Sure, there's some choice Mike Flanagan with Ouija: Origin of Evil and the excellent Hush — plus movies like The Sixth Sense, Crimson Peak, Red Dragon, 2013's Evil Dead, three Psychos (you can skip 3 but don't sleep on 2), and even The Menu — but mostly October is about comedy documentaries!
From Norm Macdonald to Matthew Perry to Martin Mull to SCTV, it's all about looking at the careers — and, in some cases, demons — of those who've made us howl with laughter over the years. It's quite the cache! On top of that, there's a new East of Eden adaptation, a Victorious sequel series, the fourth season of The Diplomat, all the Bourne movies, and a new Ben Affleck film that's supposed to be nuts.
So while you ponder the how/why/who of Netflix raising its prices once again, here's a rundown of every series, special, movie, and doc landing on Netflix in October...
If you're just looking for a detailed list of everything coming to Netflix this month, you can jump to the full release schedule by day.
Mother-flippin' Florence Pugh and future Professor X Christopher Abbott star in this retelling of one of John Steinbeck's best novels, East of Eden. The most famous adaptation before this was the James Dean version from 1955 that was directed by Elia Kazan; granddaughter Zoe Kazan (Ruby Sparks) developed and wrote this new version, which focuses on the ongoing drama between two families — the Trasks and the Hamiltons.
Those who only know Martin Mull from his acting gigs (Roseanne, Clue, Arrested Development) will delight in learning that he was a massively popular virtuoso stand-up comedian in the '70s. This superstar spotlight was started by the late Bob Saget and eventually completed by Neil Berkeley after Saget's passing in 2022.
Mother-flippin' Josh Hartnett squares off against a mysterious sea creature in the new series Below. As a cynical, stubborn fisherman, Hartnett's Calvin must fight to protect his family, his community, and his vanishing way of life. Station Eleven's Mackenzie Davis and Stranger Things' Charlie Heaton also star.
