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 17 on HBO and HBO Max. It may not be possible to unseat Stop Making Sense as the greatest concert film of all time, but Talking Heads frontman David Byrne certainly comes close with his second concert movie, this time directed by Spike Lee. Actually boasting a higher Metascore than Sense at the moment (and giving Lee the highest score of his storied career), American Utopia is a recently filmed version of Byrne's innovative Broadway stage show which finds him performing Talking Heads classics as well as songs from across his solo catalog (including the recent album of the title) with the help of a kinetic, untethered backing band. Critics raved about the film when it debuted at TIFF a few weeks ago, making it one of 2020's best-reviewed releases.
