The Emmy-nominated docuseries Chef’s Table, which hasn’t been on our screens since 2022, is back.

Heartstopper

Find season 3 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 3 October. Seasons 1-2 available now

“I love you” and a thumb hovering over the “send” button was how season 2 of TV’s most gorgeous show ended. Did Charlie (Joe Locke) send it to Nick (Kit Connor)? We’re about to find out as their relationship deepens and our favourites face up to their biggest emotional challenge yet. It has been teased this will be a more mature show as the cast ages. Episode 1 is called “Love”. Fingers crossed it gets said.

It’s What’s Inside

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 4 October

This comedy body-swap thriller looks – on the face of it – like an archetypical horror film; creepy setting, young attractive cast, out in Halloween month. But while it has elements from that genre, it’s a film that slays its own path as a pre-wedding reunion descends into a psychological nightmare when a surprise guest arrives with a mysterious suitcase. Get ready for your heart rate to spike.

Starting 5

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Wednesday 9 October

Netflix has a real pedigree when it comes to sports documentaries, so this new 10-part series following five of the NBA’s biggest players – Jimmy Butler (Miami Heat), Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves), LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Domantas Sabonis (Sacramento Kings) and Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics) – over a season is very exciting. It promises an unfiltered view of life at the pinnacle of professional basketball.

Tomb Raider: The Legend Of Lara Croft

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 10 October

Following on from the recent critically acclaimed Tomb Raider video game trilogy, Hayley Atwell voices the iconic adventurer in this animated series as she explores ancient mysteries and uncovers lost truths across breathtaking and dangerous destinations.

Outer Banks

Find season 4 part 1 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 10 October. Seasons 1-3 available now

Thought the treasure hunt was over? Far from it. The Pogues are back, and after finding the gold at El Dorado, a new proposal sees them on the hunt for Blackbeard’s loot.

You can catch the first part on Thursday 10 October, and then part 2 arrives on Thursday 7 November. Shiver our timbers.

Lonely Planet

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 11 October

“It stars Laura Dern” is all you need to know about Lonely Planet. Oh, wait, you want more? Erm, ok. She plays a reclusive novelist looking to unlock her writer’s block at a fancy retreat in Morocco. There she meets a young man (Liam Hemsworth) and soon embarks on an intoxicating, life-altering love affair. But really, “starring Laura Dern” is reason enough to press play on this romantic drama. It’s Laura Dern, people!

Uprising

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 11 October

Two acclaimed South Korean film-makers, director Kim Sang-man (Girl Scout) and writer-producer Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), bring us this action drama set during the Joseon era, during a tumultuous time in the aftermath of war, as two childhood friends – one master, one servant – meet as enemies on opposing sides. From the pedigree of the creative minds behind this one, it looks like an unmissable movie.

The Lincoln Lawyer

Find season 3 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 17 October. Seasons 1-2 available now

The welcome return of this good old-fashioned legal drama developed by the guy behind shows like Ally McBeal and Big Little Lies. Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) still runs his legal practice out the back of his car (a Lincoln Navigator, duh), but life is catching up with him. Executive producer Ross Fineman says this season’s case is going to be Mickey’s toughest yet. Both professionally and personally.

Gundam: Requiem For Vengeance

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 17 October

A quick round of applause for the name of this action sci-fi anime series. No notes. It’s the year 0079 of the Universal Century, and the Principality of Zeon has declared independence from the Earth Federation, plunging the two nations into war. If you’re a fan of the first Gundam series Mobile Suit Gundam, then you’re going to love Requiem For Vengeance. Which side will finally emerge victorious?

Woman Of The Hour

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 18 October

Imagine if a serial killer popped up on Blind Date. Well, that’s effectively the premise for the feature-length directorial debut from Pitch Perfect’s Anna Kendrick. It tells the bizarre real-life story of Rodney Alcala, a serial killer amid a years-long murder spree, who takes part in and wins a date on popular dating show The Dating Game (the US version of the UK show). Blimey. To quote another Cilla classic: Surprise Surprise.

Hasan Minhaj: Off With His Head

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Tuesday 22 October

Two-time Peabody Award-winning comedian Hasan Minhaj returns with his third Netflix comedy special. His last special received wide-spread acclaim before controversy around some of the stories he told – potentially the first time a stand-up routine has ever been “fact-checked” – landed him in hot water. Expect him to reference those events, alongside his brand of fast-paced jokes about politics and the challenges of life.

Beauty In Black

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 24 October

Territory

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 24 October

A billion-dollar industry, a fierce succession war, a family at odds. No, it’s not that show. Although “Succession in the unforgiving Australian outback” is one of the best TV pitches we’ve ever heard. This is a neo-Western series based at the world’s largest cattle station and it tells the story of an epic and dangerous battle for land, legacy and loot. Anna Torv (Fringe) and Sam Corlett (Vikings: Valhalla) star.

Time Cut

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Wednesday 30 October

Just in time for Halloween comes this time-travelling slasher flick as a teenage girl journeys back to the early 2000s. No, it’s not because she’s a massive NSYNC fan or in the mood for a pair of low-rise jeans. Instead, she’s trying to stop a vicious masked killer from murdering her sister. But, as with all time travel, meddling has consequences. So, can this teen change the past without destroying her future?

Murder Mindfully

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 31 October

The Diplomat

Find season 2 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 31 October. Season 1 available now

After the explosive conclusion of season 1, the hugely anticipated return of the critically acclaimed political thriller starring Keri Russell as the newly appointed ambassador to the UK drops on Halloween night.
