Believe it or not, we only have a few months of the year left to go. With fall’s arrival, there’s a fresh slate of movies and TV shows that are new on Hulu in October 2023. Hulu is rife with a great mix of new original films and series to tune into throughout the month.
October’s selection features the Hulu original movies Appendage as well as The Mill, both of which look quite terrifying in completely different ways. You can also check out the new original series Living for the Dead, which shines a light on some of the country’s most haunted locations. And if you’re not feeling all of that, you can crack open a cold Puppers and get some laughs in with season 2 of Letterkenny spinoff Shoresy.
Read on to see what you and the whole family can shriek over on Hulu this October 2023.
New on Hulu in October 2023: Top picks
Appendage
This spine-tingling Hulu original follows Hannah (Hadley Robinson), a budding fashion designer who, beneath the glitz and glamor, finds herself struggling with her own insecurities. Her inner demons soon materialize as the "Appendage", an entity that thrives on her deepest fears, driving her to the brink of madness. As the Appendage continues to grow, it saps more of Hannah's health while manifesting some of her worst fears and forcing her to live through them -- and we don't mean missing out on Taylor Swift tickets.
Premieres Oct. 2 on Hulu
The Mill
Need some dystopian fiction in your life, or are you good with living it on the daily? Get your fix with Hulu's sci-fi thriller The Mill. In this hyper-capitalistic rendition of the U.S., we meet Joe (Lil Rel Howery), an ambitious executive at a behemoth corporation called Mallard. His world is upended when he finds himself in an open-air prison overshadowed by a grim, ancient grist mill. With no idea how he got there, Joe races to break free before his son is born. While looking for a way out, he happens upon a slew of revelations about Mallard and the bizarre situation he finds himself in.
Premieres Oct. 9 on Hulu
Goosebumps
Goosebumps is back … with a vengeance. This reboot of the classic horror series from R.L. Stine is making its Hulu debut with five full episodes to get you started. It’s taking a decidedly different path than its predecessor, as it won’t be an anthology series anymore, but instead a new adventure that follows five high schoolers who unwittingly unleash supernatural forces upon their entire town. It’s all par for the course when it comes to spooky TV as the group unravels secrets about their parents and where they live as well as a host of other mysteries. And at the end of it all is a race against the clock as they desperately try to protect their home, family, and friends from the forces of evil. How’s it related to the old Goosebumps world? Slappy the Dummy is the only O.G. set to make an appearance so far, but we’re sure there are more surprises to come.
Premieres Oct. 13 on Hulu
Living for the Dead
If you don't want to be scared but want to see others being spooked, this one is for you. Produced by Kristen Stewart, Living for the Dead is equal parts spine-chilling and heartwarming. Journey alongside a vibrant team of five queer ghost hunters as they explore America's most haunted locales, shedding light on untold stories of the overlooked and misunderstood spirits that can be found there. Beyond the eerie encounters, the series captures the team's mission to bridge the gap between the living and the dead. healing souls and offering solace. It's also quite funny at times, because if you're dealing in death, you've got to be able to laugh about it sometimes.
Premieres Oct. 18 on Hulu
Shoresy season 2
Step back onto the ice with Shoresy, the spinoff of Canadian sitcom Letterkenny that follows the titular foul-mouthed hockey player. Jared Keeso plays the plucky member of Sudbury's down-and-out hockey team, the Bulldogs. Shoresy previously worked to revive the team's tarnished reputation as tensions hit a fever pitch in season 1's cliffhanger against the Soo Cyclones. With the fate of the Bulldogs hanging in the balance after a high-stakes bet, Season 2 is poised to answer pressing questions: What's next for the Bulldogs? And can Shoresy navigate the challenges ahead to keep the team intact? We don’t know, but you can bet he’s gonna curse at someone. Multiple times.
