In October 2022, Netflix is bringing a horror TV show from Guillermo del Toro, a new season of Big Mouth, a horror series based on a novel, and more.
In October 2022, Netflix is adding a lot of interesting content right on time for Halloween season, such as a horror mystery TV series based on a novel, the third season of a mystery documentary TV show, and a horror TV series from Guillermo del Toro, along with the sixth season of one of Netflix's most popular adult animated TV series and a bunch of documentaries, including one about one of the most terrifying serial killers in American history. Streaming platforms continue to be a main source of entertainment for many, even though cinemas all over the world are open and working as usual again, but the world of streaming continues housing movies that skip a theatrical release or shorten the window between theatrical and streaming release. In Netflix’s case, it not only continues doing all that but also keeps adding new licensed and original content every month, for all ages and tastes.
September welcomed a variety of movies and TV shows, such as the rom-com Love in the Villa, the thriller TV series Devil in Ohio, the action movie End of the Road, the sci-fi TV series The Imperfects, season 5 of Cobra Kai, season 2 of Fate: The Winx Saga, the black comedy movie Do Revenge, the miniseries Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, and the drama movie Blonde. October will bring a long list of licensed content with a bit of something from different genres, such as the coming-of-age drama Call Me By Your Name, the rom-coms How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days and Runaway Bride, the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy, both Sex and the City movies, Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, and more.
