RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (Weekly from October 4 )

Following the winning formula we know and love, expect high heels and even higher hair as RuPaul’s Drag Race heads to London to see if 10 Brits have got what it takes to become Queen of the runway! RuPaul and Michelle Visage are joined by Alan Carr and Graham Norton as rotating judges. There will be sequins.

Get Shorty: Season 3 (Weekly from October 7)

Season three of this comedy-drama based on the John Travolta movie hit finds mobster-turned-filmmaker Miles, played by the brilliant Chris O’Dowd, becoming even more ruthless as he continues to climb the Hollywood ladder while his washed up partner Rick (Ray Romano) deals with the FBI.

All American: Season 2 (Weekly from October 8)

Based on the real life high school years of former NFL star Spencer Paysinger, the second season of All American sees star wide receiver Spencer James (Daniel Ezra) facing a huge moral decision.

Netflix

October’s Netflix highlights are a welcome return to form. (Seriously, were there any must-watch shows in October? We can’t think of any.) Titles we’re most looking forward to this month include Peaky Blinders season 5, new episodes of Bojack Horseman, original sci-fi show Raising Dion, season 4 of Riverdale and the Stephen King horror flick In The Tall Grass.

Netflix Highlights

Peaky Blinders: Season 5 (04/10/2019)

As the Shelbys grapple with the 1929 stock market crash, Tommy confronts new threats to his power from younger family members and fascist rivals.

Raising Dion (04/10/2019)

Raising Dion follows the story of a woman named Nicole (Alisha Wainwright), who raises her son Dion (newcomer Ja’Siah Young) after the death of her husband, Mark (Michael B. Jordan). The normal dramas of raising a son as a single mom are amplified when Dion starts to manifest several mysterious, superhero-like abilities. Nicole must now keep her son’s gifts secret with the help of Mark’s best friend Pat (Jason Ritter), and protect Dion from antagonists out to exploit him while figuring out the origin of his abilities.

Riverdale: Season 4 (from 10/10/2019)

Dark teen series Riverdale returns for its fourth season, now with its teenagers getting ready for senior year.

Daybreak (24/10/2019)

Navigating a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies and Mad Max-style gangs, a teenage outcast searches for his lost love in this humorous drama series.

Bojack Horseman Season 6

It’s safe to say Horsin’ Around won’t be BoJack Horseman’s only lasting legacy. The final two-part season airs October 25 and January 31.

Goliath: Season 3 (4 October)

The unexpected death of an old friend leads Billy McBride to take a case in the drought-stricken Central Valley where he comes face-to-face with a new Goliath: a billionaire farmer and his sister and their scheme to steal California’s most valuable resource – water.

Bosch: Season 5 (18 October)

Season five of Bosch jumps forward about a year after the shocking events of season four, when Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) witnesses his ex-wife Eleanor’s (Sarah Clarke) murder in a drive-by shooting.
