- Netflix is adding 15 new shows, movies, and specials on the week of October 4th.
- New originals coming this week include Hubie Halloween and The Haunting of Bly Manor.
- Netflix isn’t losing anything of value, as the absolutely atrocious Avatar movie, The Last Airbender, is mercifully being removed from the service. Hopefully forever.
We have somehow made it to October, against all odds, and in order to celebrate, we can hide from the cold and the pandemic and everything else by staying inside and watching Netflix. The biggest addition this week is The Haunting of Bly Manor, which is a sequel to The Haunting of Hill House in a new location with a new story. And Adam Sandler fans will be happy to know that he is back once again with a Netflix original film, this one about Halloween.
