The month of October will bring a number of spooky series to stream for a cozy night in as the days count down to Halloween.
Among the upcoming thrillers is the return of the R.L. Stine adapted series “Goosebumps,” which first hit the screen more than 20 years ago in 1995. The new adaptation, with its new home on Disney+, will focus on a fresh crop of high schoolers as they unravel a new mystery.
Netflix is also leaning into the dark theme with its newest sci-fi murder mystery show “Bodies,” which combines the concepts of time and murder. For a touch of science, AppleTV+ will debut the show “Lessons in Chemistry,” starring Brie Larson as a 1950s woman with a TV cooking show and an ulterior motive to showcase her stunning mind.
Ahead are all of the new shows coming to Netflix, Prime Video, Max, Hulu and Disney+ in October.
