Sometimes, the pressures to pay for a million streaming services can feel like a drag. Especially when some apps don’t necessarily update their libraries each month, which leaves you to spend whole evenings skimming through tired content you’ve already seen. Luckily, Netflix is devoted to constant refreshes, and this month, they’ve outdone themselves with a bevy of new titles, including thrilling documentaries, films, new seasons of your favorite shows, and exciting live events.

This month, Netflix has outdone themselves with a wide variety of content — whether you need some laughs or want to get serious, you’ll find the perfect pick on this list. First, a wildly popular dating show returns with a cast of new, hopeful singles. Then, we’re tuning into a comedy drama about life as a closeted Marine recruit in the 1990s. Plus, Netflix debuts a gripping new true crime documentary about a disruptive neighbor whose harassment turns deadly. And we’re also psyched for a second season of a hit romance series about two mismatched lovers (one rabbi, one sex podcaster, all chemistry).

Best New Movies and Shows Coming to Netflix in October

Love Is Blind: Season 9 (Avail. 10/1/25)

This fall, a brand new group of singles searching for “the one” enter the pods. Will these Denver hopefuls meet their soulmate sight unseen — and prove that love is blind?

BOOTS (Avail. 10/9/25)

This irreverent black comedy is set in the tough world of the 1990s US Marine Corps — when being gay in the military was very much illegal. The series follows a closeted recruit, Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer), and his best friend Ray McAffey (Liam Oh) as they join a diverse group of fellow boot camp hopefuls. The ensemble quickly forges unlikely bonds as they discover their true selves in an environment designed to push them to their limits.

The Woman in Cabin 10 (Avail. 10/10/25)

While on assignment on a luxurious yacht, a journalist witnesses a passenger go overboard. But when no one believes her, she tries to uncover the truth — even if the search turns deadly. Keira Knightley stars.

The Perfect Neighbor (Avail. 10/17/25)

Using bodycam footage from a bevy of police visits, this gripping documentary follows a tight-knit community navigating a neighbor’s relentless harassment. But her aggression takes a sinister turn when a fatal crime occurs.

Nobody Wants This: Season 2 (Avail. 10/23/25)

Joanne and Noah’s whirlwind romance encounters some turbulence as they deal with family drama, career struggles and one very big looming question. This hit show stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.

Selling Sunset: Season 9 (Avail. 10/29/25)

The O Group agents are back for a sizzling new season: New faces bring broiling feuds, and as the pressure turns up in their personal and professional lives, some might not have what it takes to keep their seat at the brokerage. The landscape in Los Angeles is swiftly changing, and everyone will have to adapt to a new reality.
