There are some exciting new Disney+ shows on the streaming service this October. If you want to beat the endless scrolling and get straight to the good stuff, I’ve got five recommendations for you.
Whether you want the latest Star Wars show or you’re in the mood for some themed Halloween baking, there’s plenty to enjoy on one of the best streaming services this month.
Here are four titles I’m really looking forward to, and when you can stream them this month. For more recommendations, check out our list of the best Disney+ shows.
Halloween Baking Championship
When: Streaming now
Where: US only
Now that the weather is getting colder for many of us, it’s the perfect time to snuggle up and watch some comforting TV. If you want to bring the spooky atmosphere too, don’t miss Halloween Baking Championship now that three seasons have been added to Disney+.
In this Halloween-themed bake-off, seven bakers prepare seasonal treats to win a $25,000 cash prize. You’ll marvel at some of the inventive and mouthwatering creations, and I really don’t recommend watching this on an empty stomach. Trust me, you’ll regret it.
Murdaugh: Death in the Family
When: Streaming now
Where: Worldwide
Hulu’s new drama Murdaugh: Death in the Family just dropped its three-episode premiere, if you want a true crime binge watch this month.
In this thrilling story, Patricia Arquette plays Maggie Murdaugh, the wife of a prominent attorney. This series follows the rise and fall of South Carolina’s Murdaugh dynasty, as the couple’s son, Paul, is involved in a deadly boat crash, giving them a test unlike any they’ve ever encountered.
There’ll be weekly episodes throughout October, and hopefully it’ll keep you gripped enough to want to come back.
The Murky Stream
When: Streaming now
Where: Worldwide
The Murky Stream has already received positive reviews from audiences, with its IMDb score sitting at 8.1/10 at the time of writing. K-Drama fans definitely won’t want to miss this one.
The plot centers on the intertwined lives of three people in a lawless Joseon-era setting. There’s a man named Si-yool, a gangster hiding his past; Choi Eun, daughter of a wealthy merchant; and Jung Cheon, an official who dreams of being honest.
The entire seven-episode season is streaming now; whether you binge it or savor it is up to you.
Star Wars: Visions (Volume 3)
When: October 29
Where: Worldwide
Star Wars: Visions returns for a third season at the end of the month, and I’m so excited to see what’s in store this time.
If you haven’t seen the first two, this anthology series is a collection of animated short films presented “through the lens of the world’s best anime creators”, where it offers a new animated perspective on Star Wars.
You can catch up on Disney+ now in time for the season three premiere on October 29. Trust me, if you’re a Star Wars fan, you won’t want to miss it.
