October may be quickly drawing to a close, but not before Netflix makes the final additions from its October 2023 content list. This week, the streamer is ushering in 14 new titles, which began dropping in the streaming library on Monday. This weeks’ roundup includes 11 new and returning Netflix original series and films.
Set to begin popping up in the ever-growing content catalogue, this week’s roster will give subscribers endless options for their next binge watch. The entire family can sit down and enjoy a new season of the streamer’s animated preschool series Princess Power, and comedy fans can laugh with Pete Holmes’ new comedy special I Am Not for Everyone. Netflix will also treat true crime fans to an all-new title when Get Gotti drops this week, and an all-new Netflix original anime, PLUTO, is also set to debut.

You can watch all of these titles and more by signing up for one of the streamer’s three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. Keep scrolling to see everything set to be added to the streaming library this week, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that are set to leave before the end of the month!
Princess Power: Season 2
Premiere Date: Monday, Oct. 23
Type: Netflix Family
Synopsis: “Netflix’s new animated preschool series Princess Power is based on the No.1 New York Times Bestselling book series Princesses Wear Pants by Savannah Guthrie (co-anchor of Today) and Allison Oppenheim. The show is a celebration of girl power and self-expression that follows princesses of four major fruit kingdoms: Kira Kiwi, Beatrice “Bea” Blueberry, Rita Raspberry and Penelope “Penny” Pineapple. These princesses embrace their differences and become stronger together to help their fellow fruitizens and make their world a better place. Princess Power’s whimsical, aspirational joy comes with a timely message: that it’s not just what you wear but what you do that makes all the difference. Developed by Elise Allen (showrunner/EP), the series is executive produced by Savannah Guthrie (co-author), alongside Matthew Berkowitz, Kristin Cummings and Jennifer Twiner McCarron of Atomic Cartoons, and Drew Barrymore, Ember Truesdell and Nancy Juvonen of Flower Films.”
‘Get Gotti’
Premiere Date: Tuesday, Oct. 24

Synopsis: “It’s 1985 and John Gotti is the most powerful man in New York; he’s also the most surveilled. His public execution of ‘Boss of Bosses’ Paul Castellano sets in motion a series of events that catapults the young mobster to the helm of America’s most powerful mafia family. As the tentacles of Gotti’s criminal enterprise extend deep into the heart of the city, law enforcement and state prosecutors scramble for their chance to bring the charismatic Godfather to his knees. From the creators of ‘Fear City,’ this three-part series for Netflix chronicles Gotti’s meteoric rise and crashing fall – all told from the very mouths of those who brought him down.”

The story of what happened to these dynasties – their rise and their fall – is truly remarkable.
