Between Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Peacock, the platforms are practically overflowing with quality streaming options for the first week of October.
Fans of crime and mystery will be delighted to dig into Season 1 of Wayward, while history nerds may get a kick out of House of Guinness. And if you’re looking for a new movie to watch, All of You is a romance that’s sure to bring on the waterworks.
‘Wayward’ Season 1
When an expecting couple moves to the town of Tall Pines to start their family, they quickly realize that things are not quite what they seem in the sleepy little community. In particular, the local academy for troubled teens and its charismatic leader, Evelyn Wade (Toni Collette), begins to raise some suspicion when one such wayward child attempts to make their escape. Police officer Alex (Mae Martin) teams up with two teens to uncover the secrets of the Tall Pines Academy and the town itself.
Wayward is Netflix’s new chilling limited series that really packs a narrative punch, keeping you hooked until, before you know it, you’ve already barreled through all eight episodes. Collette shines as the persuasive and overly friendly Wade, a woman who is more like a cult leader than a head teacher. The series has been praised for its eerie atmosphere, impressive performances and mysteries that keep you hooked.

‘All of You ‘(2025)
This romantic drama stars Imogen Poots and Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso) as two college best friends who find their friendship tested by a newfangled system that pairs up soulmates. A weepy tearjerker with a gripping sci-fi angle, the film has been praised for the memorable chemistry between its leads and a sharp script (cowritten by Goldstein) that elevates material which might be made more rote in the wrong hands. Across the board, however, it’s clear — All of You is sure to leave you a puddle of tears.
The narrative follows Simon (Goldstein) and Laura (Poots) as they find themselves at odds with a test that purports to scientifically match people with their one true love. When Laura is matched up with another man who isn’t Simon, it sets in motion an emotionally devastating sequence of events that changes the course of both their lives. Though it’s hard to argue with science, Simon and Laura feel compelled to question whether they made the right choices.

‘Hotel Costiera’ Season 1
Starring Grey’s Anatomy’s Jesse Williams, Hotel Costiera follows Williams’ character Daniel “DD” De Luca, a former Marine who travels to Positano, Italy, to work as a fixer at a luxury hotel. His job requires that he clean up the messes and solve problems for the wealthy elite who stay there, a job that seems cushy but has its own host of difficulties. But things become far more troubled for De Luca when the owner’s daughter disappears, and it is suddenly up to him to find her.
That might sound like the premise for an exciting crime thriller, but the draw of Hotel Costiera is that it goes down easy. Though things may be difficult for De Luca, his show is a relaxing, breezy slice of mystery-comedy, and with only six episodes in this first season, it’ll be hard for you not to blow through them all in one sitting. For fans of cozy crime capers, you should be sure to snuggle up with Hotel Costiera.

‘Knock at the Cabin’ (2023)
From horror maestro M. Night Shyamalan comes a claustrophobic thriller of apocalyptic proportions, when a group of seemingly unconnected strangers crash an idyllic family vacation by purporting to be harbingers of doom. Knock at the Cabin stars Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint and Jonathan Groff in a captivating, character-driven take on the end of the world. Upon release, critics praised Knock at the Cabin for its philosophical commentary, tense atmosphere, lush visuals and fantastic performances, particularly from Bautista.
When Eric (Groff) and Andrew (Ben Aldridge) take their daughter to a woodland getaway, they receive a visit from four mysterious interlopers. The menacing group takes the innocent family hostage and asks them to do one thing — the family must sacrifice one of their own to save the world. Scared and bewildered, the strangers attempt to convince the family of the impending apocalypse at stake, as time may or may not be running out.

‘House of Guinness’ Season 1
Imagine if Succession took place in the late 18th and early 19th century and focused on a beer-brewing dynasty instead of an international media conglomerate. Well, you might get something similar to House of Guinness, which takes a highly fictionalized look at the real family behind the world-renowned beer company. The series focuses on the four adult children of the Guinness family in the wake of the death of patriarch Benjamin, who passes away with no clear heir to the family fortune.
This period drama from the minds behind Peaky Blinders is lax on the historical accuracy, but it makes up for it through compelling character drama and narrative intrigue. It’s entertaining watching the different family members showcase their different dynamics with one another, and the cast (which includes Jack Gleeson of Game of Thrones fame) is totally magnetic.
