October Streaming Updates: Must-Watch Titles Leaving & Arriving

As the crisp October air ushers in fall, streaming platforms are refreshing their libraries. With a mix of timeless classics bidding farewell and exciting new content arriving, we’re here to guide you through what to prioritize before it disappears and what to add to your watchlist.

Leaving in October

Starting October 1st, several iconic films and TV shows will be leaving streaming services, so consider this your last call to watch these legendary titles:

• Prime Video is clearing out a goldmine of classics such as Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, and the Kill Bill volumes. Quentin Tarantino fans should act fast to catch Uma Thurman’s brutal, elegant vengeance.
• Scorsese’s Taxi Driver and No Country for Old Men will also make their exit, along with Scarface and Hitchcock’s Psycho, meaning this month feels like the end of an era for movie buffs.
• Netflix is losing Back to the Future and Léon: The Professional, so be sure to give these a final watch if they’re still lingering in your queue.

Television fans aren’t spared either, as Peacock will say goodbye to long-running favorites like Parks and Recreation and Suits. If you haven’t already, it’s your last chance to relive Leslie Knope’s quirky leadership or immerse yourself in the high-stakes drama of Pearson Specter Litt before they’re gone.

Make sure to check out the full list of titles leaving your favorite platforms on JustWatch.com.

What’s New in October

While we mourn the loss of some beloved shows and movies, October brings a wealth of fresh content across streaming platforms, with enough variety to satisfy any taste.

• October 3rd will be a big day for fantasy and nostalgia lovers. The Legend of Vox Machina returns for Season 3 on Prime Video, while the epic Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power finale promises an explosive end to Season 2.
• Fans of animated comedy can dive back into the lives of their favorite New Yorkers in Frasier on Paramount+.
• For drama aficionados, Netflix is dropping Heartstopper Season 3, while the much-anticipated crime series The Penguin returns on Max starting October 6th.
• October 10th also brings major new releases like the action-packed Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft and spy thriller Citadel: Diana, arriving on Netflix and Prime Video respectively.

There’s plenty to keep us entertained throughout October, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Whether you’re diving into fresh series or indulging in some good old-fashioned nostalgia, there’s something for everyone this month.
