Here is What’s Coming to Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu in October 2017

With Halloween on the horizon, October is going to be a big month for streaming original series and movies on Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. But the biggest debut of the month, by far, is the return of Stranger Things for a second season on Netflix. The first season of the Duffer Brothers’ ’80s fantasy and horror homage captured our collective imaginations, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting our return trip to the Upside Down. Stranger Things first season is a tough act to follow, but we’re counting down the days to season two’s debut on October 27.

Also coming to Netflix this month are Voltron: Legendary Defender season 4, and the first season of David Fincher’s Mindhunter, which is a very dark crime series that looks back at the early days of the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit. But if it’s more over-the-top horror you’re looking for, Cult of Chucky is also making its Netflix debut on October 3, the same day that the Blu-ray and DVD go on sale.

Next month, Hulu is bringing the fifth season of The Mindy Project and the season premiere of Freakish. All ten seasons of Smallville will also be available on the streaming service, alongside American Horror Story: Roanoke and Adventure Time season 7. Some of our favorite movies heading to Hulu next month include both volumes of Kill Bill, The Warriors, and Groundhog Day.

Amazon Prime is bringing Arrival, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, and Fargo to its streaming service, as well as Darren Aronofsky’s debut film, Pi. In the realm of television series, the fifth season of The Americans is a can’t miss, and there’s also the third and final season of Red Oaks. But the Amazon original that really has our attention this month is Lore, a new horror anthology series based on the popular podcast of the same name.
