The New Movies And TV Shows You Need To Add To Your October Watchlist
21 October 2022, 11:45
There’s a lot of new TV shows and movies to get excited about this autumn on NOW.
The dark October evenings gives us the perfect excuse to turn to addictive dramas like The White Lotus season two and nail-biting shows like A Friend of the Family.
Capital’s Sian Welby is sharing her top recommendations currently on NOW, which obviously includes an epic new horror movie, Scream (2022) perfect for Halloween.
The White Lotus season 2
There’s a reason The White Lotus scooped a massive 10 Emmys in September, which saw the iconic Jennifer Coolidge go viral on the night for her hilarious speech for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
As well as an award-winning cast, it’s got a storyline we can’t get enough of.
Here’s what Sian had to say about it:
It’s the show all your mates are telling you to watch, and with season two coming out at the end of October there’s still time to catch up on the hype and watch all of season one!
Season one was set In Hawaii at The White Lotus Hotel, where it’s supposed to be paradise, but with every day, the vibe gets darker and stranger.
We loved Jennifer Coolidge as Stifler’s mum in American Pie and you’ll love her even more as the troubled Tanya McQuoid! The epic cast and mysterious deaths really make this series so addictive to watch! I couldn’t be more excited for season two at the end of the month.
Stream The White Lotus season two weekly from 31 October.
Scream (2022)
One of the best Halloween movie franchises to date, if the latest movie in the series isn’t on your October watchlist, it’s time to add it.
We’ll let Sian convince you…
‘HELLO SYDNEY…..’ It wouldn’t be Halloween without a classic scary movie! This will take you back to the sleepover at that mate’s house who had an older brother who rented this horror movie from Blockbuster and you sneakily watched it in the living room under duvets after everyone had gone to bed!
SCREAM 2022! Set twenty-five years after the original Woodsboro murders (I know, makes me feel old too) the ghost face killer strikes again! You’ll get pure nostalgia seeing Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox back together…and after reliving the 90’s shock fest you’ll jump every time the phone rings!
Scream 1-3 are also available to stream on NOW.
The Lost City
Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum are the feel-good dynamic duo we never knew we needed in our lives.
They find themselves in the middle of a life-threatening jungle adventure, but with all the comedy you’d expect from this amazing cast.
Need help with getting over summer blues? How about Channing Tatum in the jungle? The Lost City is a huge must for your next Friday night in. Be prepared for serious lols watching the rescue of Sandra Bullock with the help of Brad Pitt, do I really need to explain more?
It’s giving Jumanji meets rom-com plus, with this A-list cast, it’s top of my watch list! Keep your plans free on the 28th October and invite the girls round as this is one not to be missed!
The Lost City is available to stream on NOW from 28 October.
We told you it was a month of gripping TV! And there’s even more must-see entertainment coming your way on NOW.
Here’s what else to keep an eye out for this October…
A Friend of the Family

The TV show, based on a true story, has been produced by the victim and her mum themselves. This is a truly shocking story and a must-watch show.
