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 23 on Apple TV+. Sofia Coppola's latest film is heading straight to Apple TV+ (after briefly screening at a handful of half-empty theaters this weekend), and it reunites her with her frequent collaborator Bill Murray. He plays the father of a happily married New York mother (Rashida Jones) who begins to suspect that her husband (Marlon Wayans) is having an affair. She enlists her dad to help her investigate, leading to a series of (pre-pandemic) adventures in the city. Don't expect another Lost in Translation, but critics mostly enjoyed the dramedy when it debuted at the New York Film Festival last week.
