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 9 on Netflix. Netflix has turned 2018's The Haunting of Hill House into an ongoing, American Horror Story-style anthology series under "The Haunting of" banner. For season 2 of Mike Flanagan's series, that takes the form of The Haunting of Bly Manor, which adapts various short stories by Henry James (including "The Turn of the Screw") and sets them in England in the 1980s. Returning cast members (playing new roles) include Henry Thomas, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, and Victoria Pedretti.
