The countdown to Halloween is now in the homestretch, and Netflix is making sure that there are more treats than tricks this weekend. Before trick-or-treaters prepare to don their best costumes Wednesday, the streamer will treat subscribers to a bewitchingly fun weekend with the arrival of six new titles from its October 2023 content list, many of which are Netflix original series and films.
Netflix offers 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 coming to Netflix this weekend, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.

‘Pain Hustlers’
Premiere Date: Friday, Oct. 27
Type: Netflix Film
Synopsis: “Liza Drake (Emily Blunt) is a blue-collar single mom who has just lost her job and is at the end of her rope. A chance meeting with pharmaceutical sales rep Pete Brenner (Chris Evans) puts her on an upwards trajectory economically but dubious path ethically as she becomes entangled in a dangerous racketeering scheme. Dealing with her increasingly unhinged boss (Andy Garcia), the worsening medical condition of her daughter (Chloe Coleman), and a growing awareness of the devastation the company is causing forces Liza to examine her choices. Pain Hustlers is a sharp and revealing look at what some people do out of desperation and others do out of greed. The film is directed by BAFTA award winner David Yates, produced by Lawrence Grey, and also starring Catherine O’Hara, Jay Duplass and Brian d’Arcy James.”

Premiere Date: Friday, Oct. 27
Type: Netflix Film

At night, he establishes himself on a party boat in the city and experiences alcohol, sex and drugs for the first time.
