During the week of October 6-12, 2025, Netflix viewers in the U.S. enjoyed a diverse range of content, including true crime shows, reality competitions, spooky documentaries, educational programs for kids, and a live sports-entertainment event. This variety highlights the start of fall and the arrival of several highly anticipated new releases.

10. ‘Black Rabbit’ (2025)

“Black Rabbit” is a short, intense crime thriller centered around two brothers in New York whose restaurant gets caught up in a dangerous financial crisis. Starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman, who also executive produce the series, it was created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman. Cleopatra Coleman also stars in this limited series on Netflix.

9. ‘Ms. Rachel’ (2025– )

Ms. Rachel is back with new lessons for young children! She uses catchy songs, lots of repetition, and speaks directly to viewers to help them learn to talk and build their vocabulary. You can find two seasons on Netflix, created by Ms. Rachel and Aron Accurso. Each episode focuses on things like letters, numbers, colors, and basic social skills, making it easy and enjoyable for parents and caregivers to use with their little ones.

8. ‘Ms. Rachel’ (2025– )

The first season of the show on Netflix focuses on helping toddlers learn to communicate through carefully researched methods. Hosted by Rachel Griffin-Accurso, each episode uses interactive techniques like asking questions and getting responses, naming objects, and singing familiar nursery rhymes. Rachel and Aron Accurso are both credited as the show’s creators.

7. ‘Boots’ (2025)

‘Boots’ is a dramedy set in the early 1990s, during the time of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. The show follows Cameron Cope, a Marine recruit who keeps his sexuality a secret, as he goes through boot camp and forms close bonds with others. It’s based on Greg Cope White’s memoir, ‘The Pink Marine,’ and stars Miles Heizer. The first season, with eight episodes, is now available to stream. Production took place in New Orleans.

6. ‘Raw’ (1993– )

WWE’s weekly show, ‘Raw,’ aired live on October 6, 2025, streaming on Netflix in the U.S. The episode included major stars like Roman Reigns, CM Punk, LA Knight, and The Usos, and saw an increase in viewers compared to the previous week. ‘Raw’ continues to build ongoing storylines through wrestling matches, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage.

5. ‘Wayward’ (2025)

“Wayward” is a suspenseful, limited-run series created by and starring Mae Martin. It centers on a police officer in a small town who begins to suspect something isn’t right at a school for troubled teenagers, particularly with its charismatic headmaster. Starring Toni Collette and Sarah Gadon, the show, planned for release in 2025, combines a compelling mystery with in-depth character development.

4. ‘True Haunting’ (2025– )

Okay, so I just got a sneak peek at ‘True Haunting,’ and it’s a five-part documentary series from James Wan – yeah, *that* James Wan. It’s a really interesting approach to ghost stories; they present these alleged paranormal events through interviews with people who experienced them, and then they *show* you what happened with these dramatic reenactments. What I liked is they don’t just throw the spooky stuff at you; they walk you through everything chronologically, from the first weird thing happening to the full investigation. It’s a Raw TV and Atomic Monster production, and they really lean into the eyewitness accounts and any recorded evidence they could find. It’s set to premiere on Netflix on October 7th, 2025, and honestly, it’s a pretty compelling way to explore these kinds of stories.

3. ‘Love Is Blind’ (2020– )

Love Is Blind features couples who get engaged without ever seeing each other, then navigate life as a couple in the real world. Season 9 follows the same format—dating in pods, moving in together, and ultimately deciding if they’ll get married—with Nick and Vanessa Lachey guiding the process. The reunion show will be available on Netflix on October 29, 2025.

2. ‘Is It Cake? Halloween’ (2025)

“Is It Cake? Halloween” is a four-part special of the popular cake-illusion show hosted by Mikey Day. It’s designed as a family-friendly reality series on Netflix, featuring celebrity judges and challenges centered around creating incredibly realistic Halloween-themed objects that look like cakes. The new season will premiere on October 8, 2025.

1. ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ (2025)

The third season of the Netflix anthology series, created by Ian Brennan, is titled ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story.’ It tells the true story of Ed Gein, a murderer and grave robber from Wisconsin in the 1950s. Charlie Hunnam stars as Gein, with Laurie Metcalf and Suzanna Son also featured in the eight-episode season. The series follows the investigation into Gein’s crimes, his arrest, and the lasting impact the case had on popular culture.
