Here's Everything Coming To Netflix In October 2017

by Megan Walsh

Every month the endless font of content that is Netflix sees certain things come and go: for every original series that pops up, one old favorite says goodbye. While it's always tragic to lose out on things to watch, the streaming service makes up for it with something new and exciting every time. If you take a look at everything come to Netflix in October 2017, then there's no way you'll be disappointed with the options made available to you — though, sadly, there are some great things going away when September ends.

Starting on Oct. 1, Netflix subscribers will have to bid adieu to beloved TV shows like 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights, as well as family-friendly fare Happy Feet and romantic classics Love Actually and Titanic. It may be tough to see them go, but all of the new things about to start streaming will make up for it. There will be fascinating documentaries and hilarious comedy specials, long-awaited new seasons of TV shows and the return of some fun romantic comedies.

All of the shows and movies coming to Netflix in October will make for a promising month of binge-watching. As the weather gets chillier and all you want to do is snuggle up on the couch, you'll always be able to find something to watch.
