Paramount+ October 2026 Refresh: 72 New Additions and Our Top 3 Must-Watch Picks

Paramount+ has launched its October 2026 content slate with a massive influx of 72 new titles, providing a substantial library update for subscribers as we head into the heart of autumn. With dozens of films and series added at the start of the month, the sheer volume of choices can be daunting for any viewer. At Tom’s Guide, we have analyzed the new arrivals to curate a shortlist of the most compelling titles you should prioritize.

Top 3 Must-Watch Picks for October

1. 'When Harry Met Sally...' (1989) As we settle into the cozy fall season, there is no better choice than this iconic romantic comedy. Starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, the film explores the enduring question of whether men and women can maintain a strictly platonic friendship. With a sharp, witty script by Nora Ephron and the expert direction of Rob Reiner, it remains a definitive classic for the season.

2. 'Parasite' (2019) Bong Joon Ho’s masterpiece continues to captivate audiences years after its historic Oscar win. This genre-bending film serves as both a gripping thriller and a scathing satire of class struggle in modern society. It is a essential watch for anyone who appreciates tight storytelling, dark humor, and unpredictable plot twists.

3. 'Drag Me to Hell' (2009) For those ready to embrace the spooky atmosphere of October, director Sam Raimi delivers a perfect blend of supernatural horror and dark comedy. This cult-favorite follows a loan officer cursed by a vengeful client, resulting in a ride filled with genuine scares and the director’s signature campy, gross-out horror style.
