What Movies & TV Shows Are Coming to Netflix in October 2017?

Netflix’s October is filled with enough horror movies and creepy shows to get you excited for Halloween, but the real horror is what will be leaving. Sure, Stranger Things season two is coming just a few days before Halloween, but we’re losing 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights and Prison Break all on one day! Read on for the complete list of comings and goings at Netflix in October.

Original Netflix Highlights: Return of ‘Stranger Things’

Stranger Things, Matt & Ross Duffer’s acclaimed ode to their childhood in the 1980s, is back for a second season. The show was nominated for a slew of Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Supporting Actress for Millie Bobby Brown and Outstanding Supporting Actor for David Harbour. The show didn’t go home completely empty-handed, taking home five Creative Arts Emmys. The new season will be available on October 27.

Fans of director David Fincher have another reason to celebrate with MINDHUNTER, which is based on the book Mind Hunter: Inside The FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by Mark Olshaker and John E. Douglas. It’s set in 1979 and stars Anna Torv (Fringe). Fincher, who is also an executive producer on House of Cards, is also an EP on this show, which debuts on October 13.

The biggest film highlight of the month is The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), the new film by The Squid And The Whale filmmaker Noah Baumbach. The film got good reviews after its Cannes Film Festival debut, and stars Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson.

Another TV Exodus

Shows come and go on Netflix every month, but October’s list of departures is especially painful. On October 1, 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights, Malcolm In The Middle, Prison Break, My Name Is Earl, The Bernie Mac Show and The Wonder Years are all gone. The Cleveland Show leaves on October 19, seasons five through 11 of Bones will disappear on October 21 and seasons nine through 14 of Family Guy leave on October 29. October 27 sees both Lie to Me seasons two and three and Louie leaving.
