18 TV Shows to Watch in October
In the gallery above, our editors have selected the most interesting TV shows (including TV movies and specials) debuting this month, listed in order by premiere date.
Movie debuts October 11 on Netflix. Picking up seemingly at the moment where the hugely acclaimed series ended, this fans-only feature film spinoff from Breaking Bad concludes the story of Aaron Paul's Jesse Pinkman, who finds himself a wanted man on the run from law enforcement and some very bad men after escaping captivity in the series finale. Series creator Vince Gilligan pulls double duty as the writer and director of El Camino, which will return several other characters from the series, including Matt Jones' Badger, Charles Baker's Skinny Pete, and—rather improbably—Jonathan Banks' Mike Ehrmantraut. (In other words, don't rule out anyone's return.) The film will also screen in a few theaters for one weekend only (beginning on October 11 as well), and will eventually air on Breaking Bad's cable home, AMC, though a date has not yet been set.
