Halloween is right around the corner, but Netflix is removing some notable horror films for Canadians before we hit the spooky holiday. This includes American Psycho starring Christian Bale, Jordan Peele’s Get Out, The Conjuring, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Final Destination films and multiple movies in the Saw franchise.
If you’re not a horror fan, several other beloved TV shows and movies are leaving Netflix in October. The famed film The Breakfast Club won’t be available on the streaming site after Oct. 4 and all the films in the Back to the Future trilogy are being removed from Netflix as well.
Additionally, the first three Beverly Hills Cop movies are leaving Netflix next month along with The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith and his son Jaden, the three films in The Maze Runner series, Johnny Depp’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the recently released comedy 80 for Brady starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field. The show How to Get Away With Murder is also being removed from the site.
In terms of new shows and movies to watch on Netflix, October marks the return of a lot of favourites, from Heartstopper Season 3 and The Diplomat Season 2, and the first part of Outer Banks Season 4. Additionally, a new movie starring Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth is coming our way next month.

Fan-favourite Netflix hit Heartstopper is returning for Season 3 in October, starring Kit Connor and Joe Locke.
The season begins with Charlie (Locke) ready to tell Nick (Connor) that he loves him. Moving beyond the summer holiday months, with university choices are on the horizon, these teens are getting close to adulthood.
“Season 2 ended with Nick beginning to understand the extent of Charlie’s mental health issues, and it’s this that will drive the story through Season 3,” creator and writer Alice Oseman told Netflix’s Tudum. “While Heartstopper will always celebrate the joyful and point towards hope, I’m really excited that we are allowing the tone of the show to mature alongside our beloved characters growing up.”
The Pogues are back with the premiere of Outer Banks Season 4, Part 1. Part 2 will be released in November.
After the flash-forwarded that ended the previous season, with Wes Genrette’s proposition for John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Pierce Daviss), JJ (Rudy Pankow) and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) to find Blackbeard’s treasure, we learn how the Pogues got to that moment.
Starring Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth, the film Lonely Planet from Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) is a story about a reclusive novelist who goes on a writer’s retreat in Morocco, where she meets a younger man and falls into a “life-altering love affair.”
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as Mickey Haller in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3, based on the book series by Michael Connelly.
“We see Mickey struggling with so many things at the same time — with romance, with the wives, with the cases,” Garcia-Rulfo told Tudum. “You never expect what’s going to happen, who’s going to be bad and who’s going to be guilty.”
There are four new cast members for The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3:
Merrin Dungey as Judge Regina Turner, a former public defender who’s more progressive than most judges.
Allyn Moriyon as Eddie Rojas, a fitness buff who used to babysit Mickey’s daughter, and is in need of a good lawyer.
John Pirruccello as William Forsythe, a “seemingly nonthreatening prosecutor” who goes up against Mickey.
Philip Anthony-Rodriguez as Adam Suarez, the chief deputy district attorney and “a force to reckon with.”
Closing out the month is The Diplomat Season 2, starring Keri Russell. Creator and showrunner Debora Cahn left us with quite a cliffhanger at the end of the first season, and now we’ll see the aftermath of the explosion.
As Kate (Russell) is on a path to find the truth about the attack, the relationships she’s made in London have significantly changed, and things are more critical than ever for the U.S. Ambassador.
