There’s a lot on Netflix’s October release schedule, but it’s easy to pinpoint the one that will have the biggest impact on my social media feeds: Super queer teen romance series Heartstopper, based on the graphic novel series, returns for its third season on Oct. 3.
If your taste skews a little older (but not so old that you didn’t watch Felicity in college), you may also be excited about The Diplomat season two (Oct. 31). Remember, that show where Keri Russell is, uh, a diplomat? I definitely remember when that was released and people talked about it for, like, three days. Fact I just learned: The show is from one of the producers of Homeland, which also cast an icon on teen TV (Claire Danes) as a government agent. Coming soon: A show build arount Katie Holmes as an elite sniper, probably.
From shows I forgot existed to shows I never knew existed: Netflix is also launching an animated adaptation of the Tomb Raider games, and I’ll say this: There’s no chance Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (Oct. 10) is worse than the three Tomb Raider movies.
Other highlights: A few intriguing comedy specials from the likes of Ali Wong (Oct. 8) and Rachel Bloom (Oct. 15) and the two-season run of Detroiters, starring a pre-I Think You Should Leave Tim Robinson (Oct. 15).
Here’s everything on tap for October, and everything that’s leaving.
