Thrills and chills are in store thanks to the fresh movies and shows that are new on Peacock in October 2023. The streaming service is welcoming a wave of additions to stand beside their existing catalog of Universal films and shows from NBC, Bravo, Syfy and other brands. 

With spooky season in full swing, Peacock's new arrivals include two titles that fit the bill. Blumhouse turns the terrifying horror game phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy's into a cinematic event that may haunt your nightmares. Meanwhile, Wolf Like Me season 2 leans more toward the comedic side of creatures. 

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

New on Peacock in October 2023: Top picks

Wolf Like Me season 2

Navigating the trials of a budding relationship is one thing, but when there's a pregnancy with supernatural implications on the line, things get a little...hairy. As Gary (Josh Gad) and Mary (Isla Fisher) grapple with their unborn child's destiny, they soon find their love and feelings for one another tested. And when Mary's old professor Anton (Edgar Ramirez), enters the mix, that only complicates things further. His sudden reappearance threatens to reveal some pretty dangerous secrets that Mary would have preferred to have left hidden. Obviously, that's the least of the couple's worries, though, with a potential wolf-human hybrid on the way. 

Premieres Oct. 19 on Peacock

Five Nights at Freddy's

In this film adaptation of the hit game series Five Nights At Freddy's, working the night shift at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza takes a sinister turn. As Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) starts his seemingly routine job, he's soon plunged into a nightmare where animatronic mascots turn into terrifying killers after midnight. Mike isn't just struggling to save himself, but also racing against time to save his younger sister Abby (Piper Rubio) from Freddy and the gang. As the night wears on, Mike uncovers some unsavory secrets about the pizza joint that hint these animatronics might be more than just simple machines.
