7 shows you have to watch on Netflix in October 2024

As a seasoned gamer and binge-watcher who’s been through countless hours of streaming content, I can confidently say that Netflix never ceases to impress me with their diverse lineup. October is no exception! This month, they’ve got some real treats for us horror enthusiasts, as well as a few surprises for those seeking romance or adventure.

Every Halloween season, I can always count on Netflix for my chilling entertainment fix. They’ve got some fantastic original and third-party releases dropping in October – perfect for getting me in the spooky mood!

The issue with Netflix is its abundance of content throughout the month, making it difficult to choose what to watch. Our solution for you is to curate a select group of top-tier releases that can be watched each week. That’s exactly what we’re offering – a carefully chosen list of seven must-watch titles!

7 shows you have to watch on Netflix in October 2024

Yellowjackets

Let’s dive into a captivating series called “Yellowjackets,” which airs on Showtime. This is a must-see production, I assure you! The show unfolds a tale in two distinct timeframes. Initially, we find ourselves in the present day as a reunion takes place among former high school friends following the demise of one of their circle. As they grapple with the mystery surrounding this event, we are transported back to the aftermath of a plane crash that occurred nearly twenty years ago. That fateful accident left them stranded for months, and not everyone returned from it.

In a simple and conversational manner, the first season of “Yellowjackets” can be found on Netflix starting October 1st. However, for the second season, you’ll need to tune in to Showtime (or stream it on Paramount+ if you have a Showtime subscription).

Love Is Blind

If you’re wondering if you should devote more hours to those pods, Netflix has got you sorted! It’s not just about the chills this month. You know, the romantic reality show “Love Is Blind” is back for its 7th season, and guess where these singles are from? Washington D.C., our beloved capital city! Get ready to see who finds love, who pops the question, and who walks down the aisle.

In our previous discussion, we mentioned that the release will proceed as usual. Now, let me inform you that the premier event takes place on Wednesday, October 2nd.

Heartstopper

The acclaimed British drama focusing on LGBTQ+ themes carries on, with Charlie and Nick’s relationship unfolding further. Simultaneously, we delve into the lives of other characters. One such character is Isaac, who revealed his asexuality during the second season. The upcoming third season provides an opportunity to delve deeper into sexualities seldom portrayed in fiction, yet they deserve representation.

Heartstopper drops on Netflix on Thursday, Oct. 3.

The Bad Guys: Halloween Heist

For the younger family members, we’ve got just the right fit – “The Bad Guys: Halloween Heist”. Our beloved villains are back up to their old tricks, this time planning a daring heist. Their target? A priceless amulet hidden in a haunted mansion. You can look forward to encounters with various monsters and spine-tingling tales as they carry out their mission.

The Bad Guys: Halloween Heist is available to stream on Thursday, Oct. 3.

Outer Banks

This month, we’re back with fresh episodes of “Outer Banks” alongside the Pogues. The fourth season starts 18 months after the dramatic events of the third, with the Pogues still grappling with the losses of Ward and Big John. However, they find themselves with a new mission: the chance to uncover Blackbeard’s treasure. Remember, in the last season finale, we learned that this was possible? Well, now we get to witness their journey towards this discovery, initially yearning for a simple, normal life. As always, money problems creep in, and they don’t hesitate to accept Wes’ offer when it comes along.

The first five episodes of Outer Banks season 3 will arrive on Thursday, Oct. 10.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory

The second installment of the animated series set in the Jurassic World universe has returned! The initial season offered an exciting journey filled with a captivating family-friendly mystery. As we move forward, that intrigue persists as the band of former campers are on a quest to uncover what exactly the Broker is after. It’s not just about trading dinosaurs; this individual is manufacturing them, and they must be prevented from continuing their dangerous work.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory arrives on Netflix on Thursday, Oct. 17.

Hellbound

Absolutely! Towards the end of this month, you’ll find a chilling horror tale that will satisfy your craving for suspense. K-horrors are top-notch in the genre, and I highly recommend “Hellbound.” With its second season now available, it continues to explore profound questions about life, death, and the afterlife. The story’s protagonist, Min Hyejin, finds herself enmeshed in a fresh mystery when a string of resurrections occur. These people were once condemned, so what does this mean for their afterlives? And, more intriguingly, what was Hell like?

All episodes of the Korean horror series drop on Netflix on Friday, Oct. 25.
