7 new movies and TV shows to watch on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and more this weekend (October 23)
Halloween 2026 is a matter of days away, but the world's best streaming services aren't getting into the spooky season spirit. Indeed, despite a plethora of new movies and TV shows hitting various platforms this week, none are remotely horrifying. Well, unless you count this year's live-action remake of Moana, which bombed at the box office, as some sort of nightmare fuel-ish flick... But, I digress.

Spooky season is officially here, so it's about time that the world's best streaming services gave us some unsettling new movies and shows to enjoy, isn't it? Thankfully, they've answered the call.

Crystal Lake is one of the biggest horror releases in October 2026, and we don't have long until we can binge watch this Friday the 13th spin-off series. I've been feeling really excited about this series, which sees Linda Cardellini stepping into the shoes of iconic villain Pamela Voorhees. Despite her being such an important character in the original Friday the 13th movie, we haven't really seen a lot of her. Crystal Lake focuses on Pamela before the events of Friday the 13th.
What is the release date for Mike Flanagan's Carrie on Prime Video?
The wait is almost over, horror fans, because Mike Flanagan's anticipated Carrie adaptation arrives on Prime Video this month. I've been excitedly counting down the days, as a long time fan of Flanagan's work. His take on Carrie is set in the modern era, meaning social media plays an important part in the bullying that our protagonist faces, eventually leading up to the iconic and deadly prom scene we all know and love.

Think you're a horror expert? Challenge yourself to my terrifyingly tricky Friday the 13th quiz ahead of Crystal Lake's premiere on Peacock
Crystal Lake is the highly anticipated Friday the 13th prequel series coming to Peacock and Sky. Horror fans around the world, including me, have been counting down the days to this one as we dive into some famous slasher lore.

The trailer for Apple TV's Being Heumann is here, and the new movie has the potential to follow in CODA's footsteps when it streams on November 13. Despite being one of the best streaming services, Apple TV is more well known for its original series like Severance, Pluribus and Widow's Bay, but historically it has been lacking when it comes to its movies. All except for CODA, which won Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars in 2022.

The Shards episode 8 is streaming on Hulu for US viewers and Disney+ internationally soon, and you won't want to miss it after last week's tense double bill. In Homecoming part 1 and 2, we saw a homecoming queen crowned (naturally), creating some tensions between Debbie and Susan. With the latter winning something again, this strained friendship group is only becoming more complicated. But with The Trawler still out there, teen drama around popularity seems irrelevant.

The final weekend of August 2026 has arrived — and, for those in the UK, that means the last bank holiday of the year is also here. You better enjoy the long weekend while you can, then. Unfortunately, there aren't many exciting new movies and shows for you to enjoy during your downtime. Sure, the world's best streaming services have released some new content in recent days, but they're all distinctly lacking in the 'must see' department. Hopefully, things will pick up again in September.
