October Preview: 25 TV Shows & New Movies to Watch at Home
In the gallery above, our editors have selected the coming month's most promising TV shows (including limited series and specials) as well as movies available to watch at home through VOD and digital purchases, listed in order by premiere date. Many of these titles haven't been reviewed yet (and we haven't seen them), but they are the most intriguing new releases on paper, at least, arriving in October.
Movie debuts October 16 on Netflix. Originally headed to theaters nationwide this fall (until, you know), this now mostly streaming drama written and directed by Aaron Sorkin examines the notorious 1968 Democratic National Convention that resulted in the arrest and trial of a group of protesters including Tom Hayden and Abbie Hoffman. Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mark Rylance, Michael Keaton, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Jeremy Strong star. Trial recently debuted to the public during a brief Oscar-qualifying theatrical run, and critics mostly liked the film, though they still aren't sold on Sorkin as a director.
