Netflix has announced the new movies and TV shows arriving in October 2024. Between new shows, popular returning series, original and licensed movies and more, there's a good mix of content coming to the popular streaming service this month that you won't want to miss.
Some big shows are coming back for new seasons this month. The teen treasure-hunting drama "Outer Banks" is back for the first part of its fourth season and the Keri Russell-led drama "The Diplomat" is back for season 2. The hit reality show "Love is Blind" also drops its entire seventh season this month over four weeks.
But don't sleep on Netflix's new movies this month. On Oct. 11, Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth star in "Lonely Planet" a romance film set at a writers' retreat in Morocco. Then a week later, Anna Kendrick stars in "Woman of the Hour," a crime thriller based on the life of serial Killer Rodney Alcala.
These are just a few of the new additions to Netflix over the next few weeks, which will also see Netflix add multiple new sports documentaries, some big comedy specials and even a live event. To make sure you don’t miss any fresh arrivals we’ve got the full slate down below. Plus, we have a roundup of what’s leaving Netflix in October, to give you a last chance to watch.
Here's everything coming to — and leaving — Netflix this month.
New on Netflix in Oct. 2024: Top picks
'Love is Blind' season 7
"Love is Blind" is one of Netflix's biggest reality TV show hits. Hosted by the husband-and-wife duo of Nick and Vanessa Lachey, this show takes dozens of singles and puts them in pods, where they can talk with each other and get to know each other, but never know what the other person looks like. They only get to see each other's faces once a marriage proposal has been made.
This season, the singles all come from the greater Washington, D.C. area, including sisters Tara and Nina. That last part is a big deal because it's the first time siblings have been on the show in the same season.
"Love is Blind" season 7 premieres on Wednesday, Oct. 2 with the first six episodes dropping that day. New episodes arrive every subsequent Wednesday, with the season finale dropping on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Stream on Netflix starting Oct. 2
'Outer Banks' season 4: Part 1
"Outer Banks" follows a group of teens in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, known as the "Pogues." These teens have a penchant for getting into trouble and treasure hunting, often at the same time. There's fighting, romance and a whole lot of gold — at one point they even discover the lost city of El Dorado.
As you can tell, this teen drama set in the Carolinas quickly found itself going beyond the barrier islands, though the drama between the local Pogues and the wealthy seasonal residents known as the "Kooks" never goes away. This season, the Pogues are back closer to home, looking for Blackbeard's lost treasure. The first five episodes drop this month, with the second batch of five arriving in November.
Stream on Netflix from Oct. 10
'Lonely Planet'
"Lonely Planet" stars Laura Dern as Katherine Loewe and Liam Hemsworth as Owen Brophy. The pair meet at an idyllic writers retreat in Morocco. Katherine is newly single and working on her latest book. Owen ... well, Owen is neither of those things. He's not single, and it's his girlfriend Lily Kemp (Diana Silvers) that's the writer.
You can probably guess where this romantic drama goes from there, but that's okay. You watch a romance movie for a steamy and seductive story. You're not necessarily looking for someone to reinvent the wheel. See how "Lonely Planet" plays out when it arrives on Netflix this month.
Stream on Netflix from Oct. 11
'Woman of the Hour'
Rodney Alcala was a notorious serial killer and sex offender who killed at least eight people from 1968-1979. It's possible he killed over 130 people across multiple states. That alone could be a sufficient premise for a movie or miniseries given many people's desire for true crime dramatizations.
But that's not the craziest thing about Alcala. Alcala is also commonly known as the "Dating Game Killer" because he shockingly appeared on the TV show "The Dating Game" in 1978 during his murder spree. He even won a date with Cheryl Bradshaw.
"Woman of the Hour" tells the story of that date, with Anna Kendrick playing the eligible bachelorette Bradshaw and making her directorial debut. Meanwhile, Daniel Zovatto plays the depraved Alcala and comes off as incredibly unsettling in the trailer. Don't miss this movie.
Stream on Netflix from Oct. 18
'The Diplomat' season 2
This political thriller was a surprise hit for Netflix back in April of last year, and a second season was greenlit within a month of its arriving on the streaming service. Now, that second season has arrived, and it might just be the must-watch show on Netflix this month.
"The Diplomat" season 2 stars Keri Russell, returning in her Emmy-nominated role as Kate Wyler, the U.S. ambassador to the U.K. The first season was rife with international crises nearly at their boiling point and featured Kate struggling with her crumbling relationship. This season, the cast is joined by Allison Janney as U.S. Vice President Grace Penn.
