New on Netflix in October 2025: Top highlights of the month

The month opens with new seasons and intriguing stories, just in time for Halloween.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story, releasing on 3 October, explores one of America’s most infamous serial killers.

It dives deep into the case that inspired countless horror films, including Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

This documentary arrives just as viewers lean into the spooky season.

From the darker corners of pop culture, My Father The BTK Killer (10 October) takes a chilling look at a daughter’s journey after discovering the truth about her father’s secret life.

Another noteworthy entry is Ballad of a Small Player (29 October), a drama set in the gambling dens of Macau, promising high stakes and emotional depth.

On the lighter side, reality TV favourites like Love Is Blind Season 9 (1 October), Selling Sunset Season 9 (29 October), and the French edition of Rhythm + Flow (31 October) provide binge-worthy entertainment.

Meanwhile, kids can tune in for Dr Seuss’s Horton on 6 October.
