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.
Limited series debuts October 25 on HBO and HBO Max. Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley returns to HBO—and reunites with star Nicole Kidman—for a six-episode adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz’s 2014 novel You Should Have Known, a psychological thriller about a therapist, wife, and mother (Kidman) who, on the cusp of a major success, finds herself plunged into a crisis triggered by a violent death. Susanne Bier (The Night Manager) directs every episode of the series, which also stars Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland, Lily Rabe, Edgar Ramirez, and Noah Jupe.
