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.
Anthology series debuts October 2 on Hulu. Streaming in its entirety on day one, Hulu's eight-episode psychological horror anthology adapts short stories from Nathan Ballingrud’s book North American Lake Monsters. The ensemble includes Taylor Schilling, Mike Colter, Kaitlyn Dever, Hamish Linklater, Bill Camp, Kelly Marie Tran, Jonathan Tucker, and Nicole Beharie. We're not expecting a very high Metascore for series as a whole based on the early reviews we've seen—reviewers are finding it well-produced but exceedingly bleak and also hit-and-miss—but individual episodes should be worth seeking out.
