A fresh round of movies and shows are new on Paramount Plus in October 2023. The additions join the streaming service that has a library already filled to the brim with classic Paramount films, CBS dramas and comedies and originals.

This month brings the Frasier revival, which sees Kelsey Grammer reprise his role as the psychiatrist-turned-radio personality. Frasier Crane is moving back to Boston, where he'll contend with generational differences between him and his son. Also coming soon is the Stephen King adaptation prequel Pet Sematary: Bloodlines.

Here's everything that's new on Paramount Plus in October 2023, led by our top picks. 

New on Paramount Plus in October 2023: Top picks

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines

Travel back to 1969, half a century before the events of the original Pet Sematary in Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. This prequel follows a young Jud Crandall (Jackson White) who yearns to leave his hometown of Ludlow, Maine. Soon, however, he finds himself ensnares him in a web of ancient evil and haunting family secrets. The darkness that lurks throughout Ludlow and its cursed grounds threatens his family and friends. If Jud wants to fight back, he'll have to band together with all his childhood friends before everything is obliterated. And perhaps most importantly, this movie explores why Jud stayed behind in the town he wanted to leave for so many years. 

Premieres Oct. 6 on Paramount Plus

Frasier

After nearly two decades, Frasier is finally back in the building. Kelsey Grammer reprises his role as Dr. Frasier Crane in this return to the classic sitcom. This new chapter of his life finds him returning to Boston, where we'll learn a bit more about the time he spent in Chicago following the original show's run. There, he'll also reconnect with family and friends — and we'll also see some new faces as well, like Frasier's son Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) and old college buddy Alan Cornwall (Nicholas Lyndhurst). And after all this time, he still has no idea what to do with that tossed salad and scrambled eggs. But we're glad Frasier is calling again. 

Premieres Oct. 12 on Paramount Plus
