Another month, another busy month for Netflix.
With October comes a bursting list of titles set to be added to (and removed from) the streaming service over the next few weeks – from exciting new films (Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour), anime gems (Blue Box) and new episodes of hit shows Heartstopper and Outer Banks, which pulled viewers back in with a wild ending to its latest run.
But it’s the release of the long-awaited sequel The Platform 2 that has most excited fans. The Platform proved a word-of-mouth success upon its initial release in 2019 and this follow-up, directed once again by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, will arrive in time for spooky season.
Elsewhere, capitalising on the success – and controversy – of Ryan Murphy’s Monster season two, is documentary telling the real-life story of the Menendez brothers, while film fans will be delighted to learn that October has marked the streaming debut of Studio Ghibli’s latest film The Boy and the Heron.
Find the full list of every movie and TV series being added in October below.
NB: The Independent compiles this list with help from What’s on Netflix.
