This month will see the continuation of many well-known TV series. Take a look for yourself: the second season of "Loki," the seventh season of "Rick and Morty," the third season of "Lupin," and the second season of "Our Flag Means Death." But there are also new premieres. Given the nature of the month, there will be plenty of horror series, including comedies. Meanwhile, while you're waiting for exciting TV series, you can spend your time here.
"The Fall of the House of Ushers" (from October 12th on Netflix)
In order to protect their fortune and future, ruthless siblings create a dynasty that begins to crumble as their heirs mysteriously die one by one. It seems that a woman from the distant past of the Ushers is to blame for everything.
This is a reinterpretation of Edgar Allan Poe's gothic horror, although the series has been relocated to the present day. In this version, the Ushers are portrayed as owners of a large pharmaceutical business. "The Fall of the House of Ushers" is another project by the prolific Mike Flanagan, known for works like "The Haunting of Hill House" and "Midnight Mass." Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars," is among the cast.
"Frasier" (from October 12th on Paramount+)
A revival of the classic sitcom of the same name, which was quite popular from 1993 to 2004. The main character is psychiatrist and salad enthusiast Frasier Crane. He moves from Seattle to Boston, where he attempts to repair his relationship with his adult son.
Fans of the original "Frasier" will be pleased with cameo appearances by some of the actors from the original series. However, the main cast consists of newcomers. While knowledge of the old "Frasier" is welcome, it's not necessary.
"Creepshow" (from October 13th on Disney+)
An adaptation of a series of children's books by R.L. Stine, written in the thriller genre. Several years ago, some of the series' works were turned into films, and now it's time for a TV series.
Five teenagers embark on a journey to investigate the tragic death of a high school student named Harold, which occurred over a quarter of a century ago. Along the way, they will have to confront dark secrets of their parents and the vengeful spirit of Harold himself.
"John Carpenter's Suburban Screams" (from October 13th on Peacock)
No, this series isn't about John Carpenter screaming somewhere in the village. Instead, it's an anthology of six episodes, each telling a "true horror story" from different American towns. Each episode includes interviews with the characters, archival footage, and artistic reconstructions of events.
So what does John Carpenter have to do with this? He serves as a producer and directed one of the episodes. John Carpenter is a master of horror, known for works like "Christine," "The Thing," and "Halloween," although he hasn't been as active in recent years.
"Chemistry Lessons" (from October 13th on Apple TV+)
A television adaptation of the eponymous bestseller set in the 1950s. Despite her ambitions, single mother Elizabeth is forced to give up her career as a scientist and becomes the host of a culinary TV show. She takes advantage of the opportunity to not only teach housewives culinary skills but also feminist ideas. Despite the displeasure of the patriarchal channel management, the show isn't in a hurry to be canceled as it breaks all records.
Lee Eisenberg, known for his recent work on "Being the Jury," is the showrunner for the series. "Chemistry Lessons" is unlikely to be a dry lecture about feminism. Expect an original exploration of the theme and plenty of clever satire.
The role of Elizabeth is played by Brie Larson, known for her portrayal of Captain Marvel in Disney-Marvel comics and who won an Oscar a few years ago for her role in "Room."
"The Bodies" (from October 19th on Netflix)
A British detective series with elements of science fiction and mystique. The series is based on a graphic novel by Si Spencer, the same person who, among other things, created Judge Dredd.
The events take place in the London district of Whitechapel in 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053. The same body is found there. The crime is investigated by four different detectives who eventually conclude that there's a conspiracy involved in everything. Netflix's teaser intrigues with the statement, "To save Britain's future, they must solve a murder that changed the course of history."
One notable star is Stephen Graham, a British actor you may have seen in the second "Venom," "The Irishman," and "Snatch."
"Burnt Girls" (from October 19th on Paramount+)
The work of the young writer S.J. Tudor is often compared to Stephen King's novels. People are closely watching her talent. Out of her five completed novels, three have already been adapted into films. "Burnt Girls" is one such adaptation of her eponymous book.
The action takes place in a remote English village. Hundreds of years ago, two Protestant martyrs were burned here. Thirty years ago, two schoolgirls disappeared, and recently, the local vicar hanged himself. In his place arrives Reverend Jack Brooks with her teenage daughter. They hope to find peace and tranquility here but will instead discover a handful of ominous secrets and suspicious villagers.
This mini-series consists of six episodes, all directed by Charles Martin, who previously worked on "A Discovery of Witches" and "His Dark Materials." Samantha Morton, known for her role as Alpha, the leader of the Whisperers in "The Walking Dead," plays the woman vicar.
"Pluto" (from October 26th on Netflix)
The future. In Switzerland, they are killing an android, while in Germany, they are defending the rights of robots as if they were humans. After seven cutting-edge robots and their human allies die one after another, android inspector Gezicht discovers that danger is also threatening him. Fortunately, a suspect is on the radar, and they are also a robot.
This is another attempt by Netflix to make a name for itself in the world of anime. This time, the company has set its sights on Naoki Urasawa's manga. It appears to be a serious spectacle, all neatly packed into just eight hourly episodes.
Talks of adapting the manga began as early as 2010. Back then, Universal Pictures wanted to turn "Pluto" into a video game movie, but that didn't materialize, and the project was shelved. Finally, it was decided to create an anime series for "Pluto," with the rights secured by ubiquitous Netflix.
