While the start of the month often brings new titles to popular streaming services like Netflix, the end of the month will just as often see the departure of movies and shows from the platform. Such is the case for October 2021, with more than a dozen movies (and some TV shows) that will no longer be streaming on Netflix as the month draws to a close. On the bright side, there’s still time to watch them before they leave.

New Netflix Originals Arriving At The End Of October

While we’re seeing numerous movies and TV shows departing Netflix at the end of October, the streaming platform will also be bringing in some new content for subscribers later this month. This includes Hypnotic, a new Netflix original film about a woman who seeks the help of a hypnotist, which leads to deadly consequences (premiering October 27, 2021). Nobody Sleeps In the Woods Part 2 (a followup to the Polish slasher film) also arrives on October 27. We’ll also be getting new seasons of Brazilian drama Sintonia (Season 2 arrives October 27) and the biographical TV show Luis Miguel - The Series (Season 3 hits the streamer on October 28). And on October 29, the Army of the Dead prequel Army of Thieves arrives. 

And if you're a fan of the suspenseful drama series You, you won't need to wait very long for the next installment to arrive, as You Season 3 is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on October 15. Meanwhile, Season 2 of Locke & Key will arrive on Netflix on October 22, 2021.

Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
