New on Peacock in October 2026: Crystal Lake, Disclosure Day, and More Looking for what is new on Peacock this October? The streamer leaned all the way into Halloween, and its biggest original of the month goes straight back to Camp Crystal Lake. New on Netflix in October 2026: The Biggest Shows and Movies Wondering what is new on Netflix this October? The month opened big and keeps going, with a prestige literary adaptation, a Ben Affleck thriller, and three returning favorites in the back half. On this day Fifteen years later, Sleep Tight's point of view is still the scariest thing about it Sleep Tight follows Cesar, a concierge at an upscale Barcelona apartment building who has decided that if he cannot be happy, he will at least control who around him gets to be. He fixes his attention on Clara, one of the tenants, and uses the kind of access a concierge has to every door in the building to make her life harder than she realizes. Released in Spain in October 2011, it is a stalker thriller built on proximity rather than jump scares. You Can See Everything Release Date: When the Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Opens When does You Can See Everything come out? Friday, October 16, in theaters. A24 locked the date in September, a few weeks after the documentary surprised everyone at Telluride.

Wednesday October 14

Countdown Obsession arrives on Peacock Wednesday, October 14 Obsession arrives on Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus on Wednesday, October 14. Bear, a shop clerk hopelessly in love with his friend Nikki, breaks a strange charm called the One Wish Willow to make her feel the same way about him. The wish works, and then some: Nikki's devotion curdles into something far stranger, and Bear spends the rest of the film learning that some desires come with a dark, sinister price. On this day Moana turns 10 the same year its live-action remake arrived Ten years ago, Moana sent an impetuous chief's daughter past the reef to find a disgraced demigod and set the ocean right again. Auli'i Cravalho voiced the title role in her first ever screen performance, opposite Dwayne Johnson's Maui, with songs from a not-yet-ubiquitous Lin-Manuel Miranda. What to watch tonight Netflix's Below turns a real Newfoundland fishing town into a sea monster thriller Below is now on Netflix, and it is a small, confident surprise: a sea monster thriller that spends as much time on a grieving family as it does on whatever is moving under the water. Josh Hartnett plays Calvin Penney, a fisherman in a tight-knit Newfoundland town, holding his children together after his own father's death long before anything starts circling the harbor.

Tuesday October 13

On this day The Artist at 15: a silent film that still wins over audiences Fifteen years after it first charmed audiences, The Artist remains one of the strangest successes in modern Hollywood: a black and white movie about the end of silent film, made in 2011 as if sound had never been invented. Michel Hazanavicius wrote and directed it as a loving dare, built around Jean Dujardin's George Valentin, a silent-era matinee idol who refuses to believe talking pictures could end his career, and Bérénice Bejo's Peppy Miller, a chorus girl on her way up just as he is on his way down. Trailer drop VisionQuest's new trailer arrives ahead of its October 14 premiere VisionQuest has a new trailer, and it finally shows what Terry Matalas has been building since Vision flew off at the end of WandaVision. Paul Bettany returns as the synthezoid, now hiding from the people who want to weaponize him again and working out who he is without Wanda Maximoff or his old memories to guide him. The series premieres on Disney+ this Wednesday, October 14.

Sunday October 11

Upcoming this week Runner tops a packed week of new arrivals, with Hope close behind Runner tops Plot's new arrivals this week. The action thriller opened in theaters in September and comes home this Tuesday, turning a medical delivery into a cross-country chase: Alan Ritchson plays a former soldier who ends up escorting a black-market organ meant to save a dying girl, with Owen Wilson as the courier whose mouth moves faster than his feet.

Wednesday October 7

Countdown VisionQuest brings Vision's search for self to Disney Plus VisionQuest arrives on Disney Plus on Wednesday, October 14, picking up the thread WandaVision left dangling. After that finale, White Vision flew off with Original Vision's memories and no clear idea of who he actually was. This series puts that question at the center: Paul Bettany's synthezoid goes looking for an identity he never got to choose, while a bounty sits on his head and a mysterious teenager who may be his reincarnated son tags along for the ride.

Monday October 5

Breaking Bad tops the Times' hundred, and the rules are the real story The New York Times just published a ranked list of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century, and the top of it is less surprising than the rules underneath it. Breaking Bad is first. The Wire is second. Mad Men is third. Succession and Fleabag complete the five. The rest of the top ten is a comedy run: Game of Thrones, then Veep, 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Atlanta.

Saturday October 3

Trailer drop Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary has a trailer and a release date A24 has released the trailer for You Can See Everything, and the premise is the story. Thirty four days before she was due to report to federal prison for defrauding investors, Elizabeth Holmes invited a film crew into her life and told them to keep shooting. They did, for three years.

Friday October 2

Hidden gem Million Dollar Baby is streaming, and it is better than its reputation Million Dollar Baby is streaming on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium in the US, and on Prime Video in the UK and Australia. Calling a Best Picture winner a hidden gem is a stretch, except that this one has genuinely slipped out of circulation. People remember what it is about. Very few people have actually watched it this decade. On this day Fifteen years of Shame, and the rating nobody else would take Shame is fifteen, and the most consequential thing about it now may be the argument over how it reached audiences at all. Steve McQueen made a film about a man in New York whose life has been reorganized around a compulsion, and the Motion Picture Association rated it NC-17 for explicit sexual content. Countdown Other Mommy opens on October 9 with Jessica Chastain playing both sides Other Mommy opens in theaters on Friday, October 9, and the casting is the pitch. Jessica Chastain plays Ursula, a mother, and also the entity that lives in her daughter's room wearing her face. Young Bela is the only one who can see it, and she is not afraid of it. She gives it a name.

Wednesday September 30

On this day 50/50 at fifteen, and the week that made it 50/50 is fifteen, and the thing that still separates it from every other film about a young person with cancer is that it is not trying to move you. It is trying to be accurate, and the accuracy turns out to be far more moving than the alternative would have been. Countdown VisionQuest arrives on October 14 to finish what WandaVision started VisionQuest premieres on Wednesday, October 14 on Disney+, closing out a story that has been running, on and off, since WandaVision. Vision has been rebooted and is being hunted, and he is trying to work out whether the thing he is now has any real continuity with the thing he was.

Tuesday September 29

On this day Fifteen years of Perfect Sense, the pandemic romance nobody was ready for Perfect Sense is fifteen years old, and it has quietly become a far harder film to watch than it was ever designed to be. A chef and an epidemiologist meet in Glasgow just as an epidemic begins moving through the population, taking one sense at a time. The losses arrive in waves, each one announced by a surge of feeling that hits everyone at once. What to watch tonight Lanterns works because it refuses to be a superhero show Lanterns is streaming on HBO Max, and if you have skipped it because of the logo on the front, that is the wrong reason. The setup is two Green Lanterns, one veteran and one recruit, sent to investigate a murder in rural Nebraska. What it plays like is a two hander crime drama in which the cosmic hardware is the least interesting thing in the room.

Monday September 28

On this day Zoolander at 25, and the skyline it had to hide Zoolander is twenty five, and the number lands strangely, because the film has never really aged into a classic so much as refused to leave. It gets quoted constantly by people who have not actually watched it in a decade. Trailer drop Iñárritu and Tom Cruise go broad in the new Digger trailer A new trailer for Digger has arrived, and the first thing it does is make you look twice at Tom Cruise. He plays Digger Rockwell, described as the most powerful man in the world, with a thick Southern accent, a pot belly and thinning white hair, scrambling to prove he is humanity's savior before the catastrophe he set off finishes the job. Best Watchlist Apps for Film and TV (2026) Looking for the best watchlist apps for film and TV in 2026 usually means one job: one place that saves what you want later, remembers what you finished, and helps you decide what is next when the night goes blank. Best Letterboxd Alternative for Film and TV (2026) If you love Letterboxd for films but still open a second app every time a season drops, you are not alone. The search for a Letterboxd alternative in 2026 usually means one thing: movies and TV in one diary, without giving up the habit of logging, rating, and deciding what is next. Letterboxd Is Up for Sale: Stay, Export, or Switch? Letterboxd, the New Zealand-founded film diary and social network with tens of millions of members, is in active sale talks. No deal has been announced. Reports from late September 2026 name A24 and The New York Times among interested parties, alongside earlier mentions of studios and investors such as Sony, Netflix, and Paramount. Coverage puts a potential valuation above $300 million.

Sunday September 27

Upcoming this week Spider-Man and a long-shelved Coyote comedy landed at home last week Two of the year’s biggest films arrived at home on Tuesday, September 29, and they could not have taken more different routes there.

Saturday September 26

On this day Crocodile Dundee turned an Australian persona into a global hit Crocodile Dundee opened in the United States 40 years ago today, on September 26, 1986. The comedy sends Paul Hogan's Outback showman to New York with reporter Sue Charlton, using each place to make the other look newly strange.

Friday September 25

Countdown Other Mommy turns a child's viewpoint into domestic horror Other Mommy opens in theaters Friday, October 9.
