JustWatch Streaming Charts: October 2025

Movie and TV show fans have never had it so good when it comes to the content options available for the consumer market: there are currently more than a dozen different streaming services delivering all kinds of movies or series straight to their TV sets, literally at the touch of a button. With that amount of new content being released every month, though, which films or TV shows are more likely to be worth each viewer’s precious time? Which movies or series are most people interested in knowing about?

That’s where JustWatch comes in. It’s a Web service designed to collect and present information on every film or TV show featured in practically all streaming services operating around the world today, in one place. Visitors can create a free account, pick their country of residence – content is often different in various regions – select the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet so as to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot on every streaming platform.

Based on user interest – as dictated by searches and recommendations – JustWatch is able to put together Top Ten charts of movies and TV shows across all streaming services operating in each country, every month. These are the films that consumers in the United States have been more interested in over the past few weeks.

Based on the same information, these are the TV shows that consumers in the United States have shown the most interest in over the same period of time.

It’s fair to say that the Top Ten Movies chart looks exactly as expected for an October, the Month of Scares: no less than half of the available spots are claimed by horror films or thrillers with Weapons leading the charge. The Naked Gun seems to be the outlier here, actually, as even the rest of the spots are claimed by intense dramas. Last but not least: how did The Substance manage to – yet again – sneak into these charts a whole year after it was first released? There’s just something eerily scary about that film’s endurance, isn’t there?

When it comes to TV shows variety was the name of the game in October. There was bound to be a lot of interest in the new seasons of Diplomat, Slow Horses or Peacemaker, along with the notable new entry of The Chair Company, but Task or The Paper are decidedly different to all of the above – and to one another – making for a colorful TV Show Top Ten. Great great to see that interest in Only Murders in the Building or Alien Earth has not yet waned since last month too. There’s a number of hyped new TV shows riding the November train currently, so it will be interesting to see which ones attracted the most attention leading up to Thanksgiving. Bets, anyone?
