Top Picks for October 2026

'VisionQuest'

Marvel enthusiasts have a massive month ahead with the premiere of 'VisionQuest' on Disney+ starting October 14. Serving as the final chapter in the trilogy that began with 'WandaVision' and continued through 'Agatha All Along,' the series follows the rebooted White Vision as he attempts to find a new purpose. Complicating his journey of self-discovery is the return of James Spader as Ultron, buried deep within his programming.

'American Horror Story: 13'

FX's legendary horror anthology hits a major milestone with its 13th season on Hulu. Embracing the unluckiest number, this season brings back an all-star cast to reprise fan-favorite roles, teasing a massive reunion and plenty of surprises for longtime fans of the franchise.

'Clown Panic'

For true-crime and documentary buffs, the Hulu Original 'Clown Panic' explores the real-life wave of creepy clown sightings that terrorized small towns and sparked a national media frenzy back in 2016. Using archival footage and witness interviews, it sets a darkly humorous and chilling mood just in time for Halloween.
