Wondering what's new on Netflix in October 2021? Locke and Key season 2, You season 3 and Army of the Dead spin-off Army of Thieves are three of the Originals highlights landing on Netflix US this October, as the streamer finally starts to catch up on its bigger productions following the pandemic break.

The big news, of course, is that Netflix lands Seinfeld this month – all nine seasons of the classic sitcom about nothing will be available from October 1. That's a binge watch waiting to happen, and you can look out for our pick of the best Seinfeld episodes next week.

Netflix US also gets a slew of older movies this month, including As Good as it Gets, Observe and Report, Desperado, the Spy Kids trilogy, Titanic and Gladiator. David Fincher's extraordinary crime drama Zodiac is also returning to the streamer, too, which you'll no doubt see on our best Netflix movies list soon enough.
