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 21 on Netflix. Who dares to top Alfred Hitchcock? Ben Wheatley, for one. The English director of unconventional genre films like Kill List and High-Rise enlists Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Keeley Hawes, Ann Dowd, and Sam Riley for a new adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 novel about a woman who marries a wealthy man who is haunted by the memory of his dead first wife, the titular Rebecca. Released in 1940, Hitchcock's classic take on the book starred Laurence Olivier and went on to win the best picture Oscar, though the director was forbidden to remain true to one of the book's key plot points—a restriction that Wheatley does not face.
