What’s new on Disney+ and Hulu in October?

The month of October brings with it plenty of content designed to spook, startle and scare. Disney+ and Hulu and investing big in the season, welcoming new series, movies, and specials along with older titles designed to get everyone in the spirit of the season (of the witch). Agatha All Along continues towards Halloween, while Selena Gomez returns as one of the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, while the vampires of What We Do in the Shadows kicks off a sixth season.

Still, there are lots of new stories coming to Disney+ and Hulu in October to satisfy all genre interests. Music fans can enjoy a live broadcast of the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame ceremony as well as a Bruce Springsteen documentary, while fans of one of the sweet and funniest comedies on TV can enjoy the latest season of Abbott Elementary. Here’s everything come to Disney+ and Hulu this October, as well as a few titles you don’t want to miss.

Two heavyweight stars lead this boxing drama

I am here for just about anything Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal want to do, and if they want to star in something together, then I’m all in. The pair of sterling actors take to the small screen in a limtied series about a boxer and his manager. The story follows a once impressive fighter who’s on the decline, both physically and mentally, as he has a go at one more shot at success. Although the premise sounds a bit familiar, the cast, which includes Eiza González, promises a series that’s far more dramatic and emotional than a rote sports story.

Hold Your Breath

Something sinister is lurking in the storm

This spooky story has a fun premise that some of the more entertaining horror stories employ, which combines real world threats with perceived, potentially paranormal, ones. Sarah Paulson stars as a mother living in 1930s Oklahoma, trying to protect her daughter from an intense dust bowl storm that seems to harbor within some dark forces. The horror thriller debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival recently, and although it might be more enjoyed on a big screen, it’s certain to scare at home.

American Horror Stories: Huluween 2024

More terrifying tales from the long-running series

While I’m not a particular fan of branded puns, I do enjoy some creepy anthology stories when Halloween comes around. I don’t need them to be great, but I do want them to be weird and at least somewhat memorable. American Horror Stories, the episodic anthology spinoff series of the popular anthology series American Horror Story (it’s confusing), presents five new tales to unnerve and scare as the streaming service celebrates Huluween. I don’t know what they are about, and I don’t need to. I’m just excited about new scary content that’s going to be very dark and super strange.
