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.
Sci-fi anthology series debuts October 5 on AMC. Already renewed for a 2nd season, this six-episode anthology series from Will Bridges and Brett Goldstein (adapting their own short film For Life) is set 15 years in the future, when new technology allows every person on the planet to know the identity of their soulmate. (Though the real takeaway here is that the world still exists in 15 years.) Each episode will find a different set of characters dealing with the repercussions of this breakthrough in a different way. Season 1 stars include Shamier Anderson, Malin Akerman, Betsy Brandt, Kingsley Ben-Adir, David Costabile, Charlie Heaton, and recent Emmy nominee Sarah Snook (Succession).
