The October lineup for Netflix is everything you hope for during such a spooky month. In the immortal words of everyone’s favorite Tim Burton holiday classic:
This is Halloween!
Netflix has a full list of things that go bump in the night and keep you awake for hours (unless watching horror is your jam) headed to their streaming service. Our list of must-watch highlights does not – but don’t fret! We merely plucked a few things we think you should sprinkle throughout your October binging! So, before diving into the full list of television shows and movies to entertain you from now until All Hallows Eve, here are what we are most excited for:
The Never Ending Story
The kids have several animated shows to keep them occupied, like My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rollercoaster of Friendship and new seasons of The Boss Baby and Super Monsters, but why not introduce them to a classic from our childhood? The NeverEnding Story is a PG movie in which a bullied young boy finds himself immersed in the tale of a magical land from reading a book he “borrows” from an old book store. The land, Fantasia, is being destroyed by The Nothing and Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) seeks to cure the Childlike Empress (Tami Stronach) in an attempt to save Fantasia. Things aren’t exactly as they appear and their story unfolds with plenty of twists. This one is a must-see for all ages! The 1984 film, starring Barret Oliver as the bullied Bastian, is based on a book and spawned two sequels. Keep some tissues handy, though; there are some tear-jerker moments!
The NeverEnding Story flies to Netflix October 1st.
Daredevil Season 3
The devil of Hell’s Kitchen is back! October 19th brings Matt Murdoch (Charlie Cox) back into his original Daredevil suit and marks the return of Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), aka Kingpin! The season promises darker, telling us that the darkness must be embraced, but in what way? We can’t wait to see what Marvel and Netflix have in store for the blind lawyer this season!
Daredevil becomes the dark on October 19th.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
The new CW+Netflix teamup, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, isn’t the happy-go-lucky half-witch that we came to know and love with Melissa Joan Hart in the 90s. This Sabrina Spellman, portrayed by Kiernan Shipka, is of a darker variety, coming as a spin-off, of sorts, of the CW hit Riverdale. We’re not quite sure what we should expect; will Chilling Adventures of Sabrina be this generation’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, dark but fun with high school drama thrown in the mix?
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina arrives October 26th.
