The sweaters and jackets are out of storage, the furnace is rumbling, and Netflix‘s October slate of TV exhibits is heating up, with returning hits like The Diplomat on the best way, in addition to some anticipated new documentaries.

But that does not imply there is not something good for U.S. Netflix viewers to look at proper now, and I’ve wrangled up three newly added exhibits to show it, together with the ultimate season of a long-running highschool soccer drama, two seasons of a small-town thriller sequence, and my prime choose, season 2 of a spooky (and humorous as hell) animated sequence to get you within the temper for Halloween.

All American (Season 8)

This long-running teen soccer drama is impressed by the true lifetime of ex-NFL linebacker and Super Bowl winner Spencer Paysinger, however extra particularly, his highschool years and his struggles to understand his goals of professional soccer. Once a struggling present on the CW, All American turned a powerhouse when, in 2019, it exploded in recognition when its first season was streamed on Netflix as a part of a cope with the CW. Season 8, which landed on October 6, closes out the sequence.

The present follows Spencer James (Daniel Ezra), a gifted South Los Angeles soccer participant who’s recruited to Beverly Hills High by coach Billy Baker (Taye Diggs), forcing Spencer to reside between two very completely different worlds. Over eight seasons, Spencer, Billy’s son Jordan (Michael Evans Behling), their rich classmate Layla (Greta Onieogou), and Spencer’s finest buddy Coop (Bre-Z) evolve into adults, and a brand new era takes over.

Season 8 occurs over a single week (no spoilers right here if you have not watched earlier seasons), and it brings again outdated favorites, together with Spencer himself, Jordan’s sister Olivia (Samantha Logan), and, briefly, Billy.

Murder in a Small Town (Seasons 1-2)

A picturesque small city with a very busy police chief

Based on Canadian novelist L.R. Wright’s Karl Alberg mysteries, this joint manufacturing between Fox and Canada’s Global Television Network has grow to be a streaming hit over its two seasons that started in 2024. Murder in a Small Town is a surprisingly twisty thriller drama that takes place within the ridiculously picturesque coastal city of Gibsons, British Columbia, the place the views could also be gorgeous, however individuals simply preserve winding up lifeless.

Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) is a burned-out metropolis cop who retreats to Gibsons for a quieter life as a small-town police chief. But what he will get is a city stuffed with secrets and techniques and a brand new homicide thriller each episode. Along for the experience is Karl’s girlfriend, Cassandra Lee (Kristin Kreuk), a intelligent librarian and longtime resident, who is aware of everybody (and their trade)—the right Watson to Karl’s Sherlock.

With munchable one-hour episodes, you will make quick work of season 1 in only a weekend (or much less), earlier than transferring on to season 2, which faucets Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden as Gibsons’ wily mayor.

Haunted Hotel

Ghosts, demons, and a hilariously demented little boy-demon

As an enormous fan of adult animation series, and a good bigger fan of SNL legend Will Forte, I used to be excited to see the second season of this gorgeously animated and critically acclaimed Netflix sequence make its strategy to the streamer this month. From Rick and Morty author Matt Roller, Haunted Hotel is a darkish and quirky horror-comedy that follows Katherine (voiced by Happy Endings’ Eliza Coupe), who inherits a haunted resort from her late brother Nathan (Forte), whose ghost sticks round to assist with the day-to-day.

Her children, Ben (Skyler Gisondo) and Esther (Natalie Palamides), pitch in, which includes, you understand, the same old resort stuff—cleansing, laundry, visitor administration—but in addition keeping off the ceaseless barrage of witches, demons, a large snake, and a shark named Beluga that present up. My favourite a part of Haunted Hotel, although, must be Abaddon (Jimmi Simpson), an ageless demon dwelling in a 1700s boy’s physique whose deadpan line supply and dying want are chef’s kiss.

At simply 25 minutes an episode, you may get via each seasons in a weekend, however I recommend stretching it out and savoring it a bit for once you want a temper bump. Or, you’ll be able to take a look at this listing of comedy exhibits for some quick laughs in under 30 minutes, too.
