As a seasoned gamer and binge-watcher, I can confidently say that October has become my favorite month of the year – not just because of Halloween, but also due to Netflix’s impressive lineup of new releases! The platform seems to have read my mind and delivered an array of shows catering to every taste.
October not only signifies the beginning of the spooktacular season, but it also brings an abundance of thrilling new offerings from Netflix that fans have eagerly anticipated. In addition to reviving beloved series such as “Bridgerton,” “Cobra Kai,” and “Emily in Paris,” fresh sensations like “Baby Reindeer,” “The Perfect Couple,” and “Nobody Wants This” have graced our screens this year. However, there’s a lot more to look forward to!
This October, Netflix is outdoing itself with an impressive lineup of returning favorite series, making it the busiest new release month of the year. Instead of just one or two, we’re getting not three, but four highly anticipated seasons of Netflix originals. Kickstarting the month is the third season of “Heartstopper,” followed by the long-awaited return of “Outer Banks.” We then move to the courtroom with “The Lincoln Lawyer” and journey across the Atlantic once more in “The Diplomat.
Amidst the highly anticipated comebacks of popular Netflix series, October also offers a host of intriguing programs such as Love is Blind season 7, the romantic Italian drama Deceitful Love, and the sports documentary series Starting 5. However, with so many options, which new Netflix shows are worth your time and which should be skipped in October? Let’s dive in!
Heartstopper season 3
Mark your calendars! The much-anticipated third season of everyone’s favorite show is set to air on October 3, following a break that fans wish had been shorter. In this new eight-episode installment of “Heartstopper”, we rejoin Nick, Charlie, and their companions as they navigate the highs and lows of entering the pinnacle years of adolescence.
As Nick prepares to choose a university, Charlie struggles with his mental health and eating disorder. The season also finds the young lovebirds finally saying “I love you” and exploring the sexual side of their relationship. The third season is a must-watch for all fans of the series and the books, especially considering a final season could be on the way shortly after, per creator Alice Oseman.
Outer Banks season 4 part 1
Watch! Welcome back, to Poguelandia! Who else has been waiting ever so impatiently for Outer Banks season 4 to premiere? While no one would have preferred that the season was split into two parts, at least we don’t have to wait long for part 2 to make its premiere in November.
In October 10th, the initial episode of Outer Banks‘ fourth season will air on Netflix, marking a highly anticipated new addition to their lineup. After unearthing El Dorado in the previous season, the Pogues have been basking in their riches. Yet, an outstanding debt lures them back into the gold business, this time hunting for Blackbeard’s hidden treasure. It promises to be another thrilling journey filled with unexpected turns and shocks!
Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black part 1
Despite Tyler Perry’s Netflix content generally being well-received and providing enjoyable escapism, “Beauty in Black” might not suit everyone’s taste. This new drama series will release the first half of its 16-episode season on Oct. 24, focusing on two women entangled in each other’s pursuit of success. The series promises numerous soap opera-like plot twists for those who enjoy intense and bingeable dramas. If you prefer a more subdued viewing experience, it may be best to let this one pass for those who are ready for a lot of emotional turmoil.
The Lincoln Lawyer season 3
Exciting News! Fans of the series The Lincoln Lawyer had been eagerly awaiting the return of season 3 in 2025. However, Netflix sprung a delightful surprise upon us all by announcing that Mickey Haller would be reappearing on screen to tackle another murder case on October 17th. Yes, you heard it right! Your beloved criminal defense lawyer is back and ready for action in The Lincoln Lawyer season 3, and as always, he has a personal link to the case.
His buddy, Glory Days, was brutally murdered, and he’s spearheading the investigation to uncover the truth behind the tragedy. The upcoming season is based on Michael Connelly’s book “The Gods of Guilt,” so grab a quick read before it premieres. Luckily, Netflix has decided against splitting season 3 into two halves this time, meaning fans can enjoy all ten episodes without interruption. Don’t forget to tune in!
The Diplomat season 2
Pay attention! In addition to the gripping series “The Night Agent,” the political drama “The Diplomat” is back for another season in 2023, and it returns on Halloween. Isn’t a dash of political intrigue just the right amount of chills for this time of year?
In the wake of the London explosion, Keri Russell returns as Kate Wyler. As it turns out, the blast wasn’t orchestrated by an enemy but from within the British government itself. To complicate matters further, Kate is also paid a visit by the Vice President of the United States, portrayed by Academy Award winner Allison Janney. This unfolds on October 31st.
Territory
On the very same day as “Beauty in Black,” Netflix is also debuting the fresh Australian drama series titled “Territory.” This show carries a hint of both “Yellowstone” and “Ozark,” as it unfolds on an Australian cattle station where the Lawson family is grappling with choosing their next leader while bracing themselves against enemies aiming to bring them down. If this doesn’t seem like your preferred type of series, don’t hesitate to give it a pass when it airs on Oct. 24 and consider adding it to your watchlist for a later date instead.
