What are the biggest TV shows and web series coming to streaming in October 2023? Leading the pack this month are two returning fan-favourite shows that deal with multiverse-hopping shenanigans. First up, we'll see Netflix in India.

A new chapter of Mumbai Diaries fires things up on the local end, pitting the emotionally broken doctors at the BGH (Bombay General Hospital) against the cruel calamity of the Mumbai floods, as they struggle to save lives and fight their personal battles. The medical drama brings back its ensemble cast from the Amazon Prime Video. Then, Netflix has a survival drama lined up for us — on the glistening shores of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where a group of visitors get trapped and forced into cooperating with each other, only for the social order to start crumbling. Kaala Paani is out October 18.

Everything Now 2d1g25

When: October 6
Where: Netflix

Netflix is back with another cheeky high-school British show with a dash of teenage angst. This time, we follow 16-year-old Mia Polanco — played by Talk To Me's Sophia Wilde — who returns home after a lengthy battle with anorexia and is immediately thrust into the chaotic world of sixth form. Panic sets in when she realises that while she continued recovering in some dingy room, all her friends had moved on with their teen lives, gaining experiences that she could've shared. Fearing that her childhood is racing by too fast, she creates an ever-evolving bucket list of things to try and make up for all the time she lost.

Hand-in-hand with her three best mates — William (Noah Thomas), Becca (Lauryn Ajufo), and Cam (Harry Cadby) — Mia cleans up and dives headfirst into the world of neon-lit parties to get drunk, have her first kiss, break the law, karaoke, and confess feelings for her newfound crush (Jessie Mae Alonzo). It appears as though Stephen Fry (A Bit of Fry & Laurie) as Mia's doctor.

All eight episodes of Everything Now will be available to stream October 6 on Netflix.

The Owen Wilson), Loki must now navigate through an ever-expanding multiverse to be reunited with his old team.

A version of Sylvie is working at McDonald's now, Hunter B-15 (Ke Huy Quan as OB, a TVA agent archivist who also supplies our heroes with equipment for both time and multiversal travel. Some of it is broken, but it's nothing some duct tape won't fix! Unlike the movies, it's also cool to finally see Loki using his full potential from sparkly magic blasts to creating horned mirror images of himself.

Loki season 2 debuts October 6 on Disney+ Hotstar. It will then follow a weekly release schedule, with new episodes coming out every Friday until November 10.

Mumbai Diaries season 2 6n4c3i

When: October 6
Where: Amazon Prime Video

Nine months after the events of the 26/11 terrorist attacks, the crew at Bombay General Hospital face their next big challenge: a series of unprecedented torrential rainfalls that flood the entirety of Mumbai and bring the city to a standstill. As victims of the disaster keep getting rushed into the emergency rooms, our team of doctors led by trauma surgeon Dr. Kaushik Oberoi (Mohit Raina) and Chitra Das (Konkana Sen Sharma), face an identity crisis. Mumbai Diaries season 2 is largely focused on the resilience these doctors show in such times of crisis, despite limited resources and leaky ceilings, all the while worrying about their own families' wellbeing at the back of their minds.

It's also suggested that characters like Chitra will undergo more development in this chapter, delving into her past to reveal what made her the hard-boiled worker she is. Nikhil Advani returns as the director, with an ensemble cast comprising Tina Desai as Oberoi's wife Ananya, who gets stuck in traffic as the water level continues to rise, while Natasha Bharadwaj returns as the first-year resident Dr. Diya Parekh.

All episodes of Mumbai Diaries season 2 will be up for streaming October 6 on Amazon Prime Video.

The Fall of the House of Usher 4q3g46

When: October 12
Where: Netflix

The Fall of the House of Usher. After buying Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, ruthless siblings Madeline (Mary McDonnell) and Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood) have turned it into a vast, wealthy corporate empire at the cost of some controversial practices. But when a mysterious shape-shifting woman from their youth, Verna (Carla Gugino), re-enters their life, the Usher heirs start dying one-by-one in brutal fashion, forcing the patriarch to face his past secrets. But she's not the only person hellbent on overthrowing the Ushers, as the determined attorney Auguste Dupin (Carl Lumbly) has been warring with the family for over 30 years, coining them the name, ‘The Usher Crime Family.'

Meanwhile, the Ushers have an invincible lawyer Arthur Pym (Rahul Kohli as Leo Usher, a video game patron and playboy who relies on drugs to numb the pain of his soulless reality. Then there's Henry Thomas as the eldest son Frederick, Samantha Sloyan as the more suitable heir Tamerlane Usher, Crystal Balint as former model Morella Usher, Sauriyan Sapkota as the youngest child Perry Usher. Kate Siegel's Camille L'Espanaye gets roped into the drama, running PR for the family and collecting dirt on everyone close to her.

All eight episodes of The Fall of the House of Usher are out October 12 on Netflix.

Lessons in Chemistry 221b11

When: October 13
Where: Apple TV+

Academy Award-winner Lewis Pullman) and starting a family. But like science, life's got different plans for us sometimes. And so, things fall apart, and she soon ends up a single mother and challenged by a 1960s patriarchal society when her seniors fire her from the job. All hope seems lost for former Dr. Elizabeth Zott until she's approached by Walter (Kevin Sussman) with an offer to run her own cooking show. But ‘Supper at Six' isn't just any normal show, as she takes an unconventional approach to it by often dishing out witty remarks about how women are one of the most overlooked forces in the household.

Of course, the producers aren't happy about injecting politics into kitchen activities, but the show as a whole begins to perform exceptionally well, inspiring countless housewives to work toward their dreams and understand their true worth. But at its core, Elizabeth wants to pursue science. Helping her on this crusade is Harriet Slone (Aja Naomi King), who herself struggles with running a family when the government decides to forcefully build a freeway through a black-populated neighbourhood. Lee Eisenberg — best known for the Lessons in Chemistry, drawing from the eponymous Bonnie Garmus novel.

Lessons in Chemistry is out October 13 with a two-episode premiere, after which the remaining six episodes drop weekly until November 24.

Sultan of Delhi 66z5x

Arjun Bhatia (Paavat), and Nishant Dahiya (Raat Akeli Hai).

All episodes of Sultan of Delhi will be available to stream October 13 on Disney+ Hotstar.

Rick and Morty season 7 5h1h6s

When: October 16
Where: Netflix

The alcoholic scientist Rick Sanchez plans on spending the entire Rick and Morty season will head into before debut.

The elephant in the room, of course, is co-creator Adult Swim hasn't revealed their names yet, but it seems like the pair would continue voicing the lead characters until season 10. Other cast remain the same, with Spencer Grammer returning to voice Morty's sister Summer and Sarah Chalke as his mom Beth.

Rick and Morty returns October 15 on Adult Swim and Max in the US and elsewhere. While there's no official word yet, going by past seasons, season 7 should be out on Netflix India on October 16 — with new episodes dropping every Monday.

Kaala Paani 16f2m

When: October 18
Where: Netflix

It's no secret that the walls of the Kaali Paani prison aren't made of bricks, but rather thousands of kilometres of seawater that make any plans of escape feel like a pipe dream. But when a mysterious illness spreads across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, its inhabitants, isolated from the outside world, are forced into a fight for survival as they await a cure. Netflix hasn't dropped a full trailer for this yet, but it's implied that the social order crumbles, causing some of them to venture into the wilderness for answers and uncover a weird conspiracy surrounding some bizarre symbols and tribes in the region.

It reminds me a lot of Ruben Östlund's TVF Tripling directs the survival drama series.

All episodes of Kaala Paani release October 18 on Netflix.

Pluto 1v6m60

When: October 26
Where: Netflix

From the brilliant mind of mangaka Pluto, a noirish tale set in a future where humans and robots live in harmony. That is until a string of advanced robots and their human allies are found murdered with horns attached to their heads, indicating that the crimes were committed by the same entity. Gesicht (Shinshu Fuki), a Europol robot detective whose arms can transform into cannons, picks up the task of finding the perpetrator, only to soon realise that he's on the kill list himself. It's a rather perplexing case since humans are physically incapable — and scared — of tearing robots to shreds, whereas every robot has been designed to never kill people.

For the uninitiated, Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy — more specifically, ‘The Greatest Robot on Earth' arc, with Urasawa taking its bright-coloured essence and turning it into a riveting murder mystery that often explores themes of post-war PTSD. Familiar characters like Atom/ Astro Boy will be making an appearance in the anime, alongside his sister Uran. Personally, I find the animation in this Netflix adaptation quite jarring, given the over-abundant use of CGI, but since Monster is my favourite anime of all time, I'm down to give this a try. Maybe I'll get used to it a couple of episodes in.

All episodes of Pluto will be up for streaming October 26 on Netflix.
