Netflix is dropping a ton of fresh content on the TV side this month. Kicking things off is a moving adaptation of a New York Times best-selling novel starring Margaret Qualley before Penn Badgley returns to play the serial stalker and sometimes-murderer in Netflix’s You. Colin Kaepernick drops his limited series with Ava DuVernay towards the end of the month, but there are some returning gems and new animated comedies in between that look like they’re worth a watch. Here are the best new originals coming to Netflix this October. (For the best new movies coming to Netflix this month, head here.) Margaret Qualley stars in this adaptation of The New York Times best-selling novel of the same name. Qualley plays Alex, a young mother fleeing an abusive relationship who attempts to start over by taking a job as a housecleaner. The comedic moments come from her time on the job, but there’s enough emotional depth in her fight to protect her daughter and free herself from her past to keep you invested long past the lighter moments.
