Fall is officially here, and October marks the beginning of spooky season, with several shows arriving in late September as well as this month that will support the chill in the air and autumnal atmosphere through Halloween.
Shows that premiered in September like Agatha All Along, The Penguin and Grotesquerie will release new episodes every week up until or even through Halloween. Only Murders in the Building Season 4 premiered in August, but it will also unfold right up until the end of the month with the tenth episode arriving on Hulu on Oct. 29.
Not to worry, though, for those in the mood for cozy stories versus creepy ones this month. Season 3 of Netflix’s Heartstopper returns Oct. 3, and though the third installment of the series based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novels addresses more serious topics, it remains joyful and comforting. Shrinking Season 2 also returns this month on Apple TV+ from some of the minds behind Ted Lasso, and Brett Goldstein will star in a guest role for the comedy’s second installment.
