Wondering what's new on Netflix in October 2021? Locke and Key season 2, You season 3 and Army of the Dead spin-off Army of Thieves are three of the Originals highlights landing on Netflix US this October, as the streamer finally starts to catch up on its bigger productions following the pandemic break.
The big news, of course, is that Netflix lands Seinfeld this month – all nine seasons of the classic sitcom about nothing will be available from October 1. That's a binge watch waiting to happen, and you can look out for our pick of the best Seinfeld episodes next week.
Netflix US also gets a slew of older movies this month, including As Good as it Gets, Observe and Report, Desperado, the Spy Kids trilogy, Titanic and Gladiator. David Fincher's extraordinary crime drama Zodiac is also returning to the streamer, too, which you'll no doubt see on our best Netflix movies list soon enough.
Elsewhere, TechRadar readers might want to check out the new Jake Gyllenhaal movie The Guilty, which is about a former detective turned 911 operator trying to help a caller who's seemingly in imminent danger – until it's revealed that all is not quite as it seems. Nic Pizzolatto, the creator of True Detective, wrote the movie, while Training Day's Antoine Fuqua directs it. That lands on October 1.
WWE fans might also want to look out for Escape the Undertaker, which is a wrestling and Halloween-themed interactive movie. Sounds wild.
Look out for our highlights marked in bold below. Here's what's new on Netflix in October 2021 – every entry you see followed by a Netflix sub-category in brackets is an original on the service.
