New Netflix Original Content Coming in October 2021

Netflix is welcoming in colder weather and the official start of the spooky season with a long list of titles headed to its streaming library. With September drawing to a close, and on the first official day of fall, the streaming giant on Wednesday unveiled its full list of October 2021 titles, and the list proves the streamer is putting extra attention on its Netflix originals.

The long list of new additions coming next month will include a total of 88 Netflix original series, films, documentaries, and specials, promising hours upon hours of entertainment as chillier weather keeps people indoors. The originals include new seasons of some fan favorites, such as the fourth and final season of On My Block, the third season of The Movies That Made Us, a new season of the family-friendly show The Baby-Sitters Club, and even the return of the odd dating series Sexy Beasts. There will also be a few debuts, including the premiere of a new baking competition and a show featuring Gwyneth Paltrow. Of course, October wouldn’t be complete without Netflix’s annual Netflix & Chills lineup, a spooky list of titles that includes existing content on the platform as well as several premieres.

While Netflix is stocking its library full of dozens of new titles, it will also be saying goodbye to a few. You can check out everything that is leaving next month by clicking here. Keep scrolling to see every Netflix original that will be added to the streaming library in October 2021.
