5 New Hulu Shows and Movies to Watch in October 2026
October brings a fresh wave of content to Hulu, headlined by the return of a fan-favorite courtroom drama, a gripping horror thriller, and a documentary about one of rock’s most famous bands. Here are the five titles worth adding to your watchlist this month.

Reasonable Doubt Season 4
The legal drama returns for its fourth season, continuing the story of Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi), a high-profile Los Angeles defense attorney who navigates morally ambiguous cases. The season three finale ended on a hospital cliffhanger, and season four picks up the tension from there. Created by Raamla Mohamed, the series blends courtroom intrigue with personal drama, drawing comparisons to Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy in tone.
Premiere: Three-episode premiere on October 6, with new episodes each Tuesday.
Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger
This documentary chronicles the dramatic reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher, who ended more than a decade of rivalry when Oasis announced their reunion in August 2024. The film captures the build-up to the band’s comeback shows and explores the brothers’ complicated relationship that defined one of Britain’s biggest rock acts. For fans of music documentaries, it offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the band reconciled — or attempted to — after years of public feuding.
Streaming: October 9.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (Remake)
Hulu is debuting a remake of the 1992 psychological thriller, updating the story of a nanny with a hidden agenda for a new generation. The original film became a cult classic for its blend of domestic suspense and shocking twists. The remake aims to recapture that tension for modern audiences while updating the story’s themes.
Streaming: October 15.
Shadows in the Attic
A horror thriller starring a Severance alum, this film follows a family who moves into a remote estate and discovers that the previous owner’s dark history refuses to stay buried. The film leans into slow-building dread rather than jump scares, drawing on atmospheric horror traditions. It has generated early buzz among horror fans for its unsettling tone and strong central performance.
Streaming: October 22.
Frankenstein (2026)
A new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel arrives on Hulu this October, bringing a fresh cinematic take on the iconic monster story. The film joins a long lineage of Frankenstein adaptations, attempting to distinguish itself through its visual style and interpretation of the source material’s themes about creation, responsibility, and what it means to be human.
Streaming: October 29, just in time for Halloween.
With this lineup, Hulu offers a strong mix of genres to close out October — from the procedural drama of Reasonable Doubt to the seasonal horror of Shadows in the Attic and Frankenstein. The Oasis documentary adds a music-focused option for viewers looking for something different from the usual fall fare.
