What’s Leaving Netflix on October 2nd

What to Watch First on Netflix in October, 2026

October is looking pretty stacked, so if you're staring at this massive list wondering what to actually watch first, these are the titles I'd put on my radar.

  • The Diplomat Season 4: Keri Russell returns as Kate Wyler for another round of international crises and political drama. If you've been following the series, this is an obvious addition to the October watchlist.
  • Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2: The first Cyberpunk: Edgerunners became a massive hit with anime and Cyberpunk 2077 fans, so returning to Night City is easily one of the month's biggest anime releases.
  • Nobody Wants This Season 3: Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are back for another season of the relationship comedy. If you've already made it through the first two seasons, this one should be near the top of your list.
  • East of Eden: Florence Pugh leads this adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic novel. If you prefer prestige drama over another franchise sequel, this is one to keep an eye on.
  • The Way Home Season 4: The Hallmark time-travel mystery returns for its final season, giving fans one last chance to follow the Landry family's complicated story.
  • Gladiator and Gladiator II: Netflix is adding both movies this month, making October a great time for a back-to-back watch. And if you've somehow never watched the original Gladiator, what are you waiting for?
  • 8 Mile: Eminem's acting debut is one of those movies that remains instantly recognizable. Plus, you get the legendary soundtrack along with it.
  • The Devil Wears Prada: This is one of those comfort movies that somehow keeps finding its way back onto everyone's watchlist. Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly is reason enough to give it another spin.
  • The Prestige: Christopher Nolan's magician-versus-magician thriller is perfect if you want something that rewards you for paying attention. Just don't Google the ending before watching it.
  • The Menu: Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy headline this darkly funny thriller about an exclusive restaurant where the evening takes a very unexpected turn.
  • Heat: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Michael Mann. That's pretty much the entire pitch.
  • Transformers One: If you want something lighter after all the crime thrillers and dramas, Transformers One gives you an animated origin story focused on Optimus Prime and Megatron.
  • Cocaine Bear: Sometimes you don't need complicated cinema. Sometimes you just need to watch a bear accidentally become a terrifying cocaine-fueled killing machine.

October 2026 is shaping up to be another huge month for Netflix, with a surprisingly wide mix of new Originals, returning series, anime, documentaries, live events, blockbuster movies, and older classics. I'll keep updating this list as Netflix announces more titles or changes release dates, so bookmark this page if you want to keep track of everything coming and leaving Netflix in October 2026.
