A big batch of new TV shows is coming our way in October 2020 for us to watch while we cozy up under blankets with pumpkin spice lattes. The Mandalorian season 2 (or The Baby Yoda Show, as we call it) headlines the returning streaming series, while This Is Us is among the network favorites that are coming back.
Netflix's new TV shows in October include The Haunting of Bly Manor, a different take on the anthology series that started with Hill House. And there are a ton of movies coming to streaming and cable, like the Borat sequel.
