New on Netflix in October 2026 - Netflix Tudum
In the thriller Animals, Ben Affleck plays Los Angeles mayoral candidate Mark alongside Kerry Washington as his wife, Abigail. One night, the couple receives an ominous phone call — their son has been kidnapped, and they must scramble to respond to a threat that could upend their carefully constructed life.
“Sometimes, justice and the letter and the law are exactly aligned,” says Mark in the film, which Affleck also co-wrote and directed. “Sometimes, it requires us to make very difficult, very human, decisions.”
It’s now time for viewers to make such choices — about what to watch, that is — thanks to the new movies and series available to stream this month. The incoming batch of titles includes East of Eden, Zoe Kazan’s adaptation of the John Steinbeck classic starring Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott, and Mike Faist; Sacrifice, a hostage thriller with Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy that unfolds at a glitzy charity gala; and Hollywood Arts, the teen sitcom that follows Trina Vega (Daniella Monet) as a substitute teacher at her elite performing arts school.
Also included in this month’s lineup are fresh episodes of the hit series Nobody Wants This, in which Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) take their relationship to the next level; Lupin, which sees Assane (Omar Sy) chasing down a copycat thief; and The Diplomat, in which Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) faces the fallout of the US administration’s recklessness.
And comedy fans will applaud the new documentaries about four comedy icons — Who Is Martin Mull?, Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald, Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story, and The One About Matthew Perry.
Scroll on for all the titles coming to Netflix in October.
