There's a new week of streaming television upon us, and it might be the week some fans have been waiting for all year. Not just because it's officially the week before Halloween, which means it's the perfect time to get deeper into spooky season binge-watches and movie marathons, but because there are four shows premiering that are some of the year's most highly anticipated.
The week of Oct. 20 brings a number of exciting new thrillers, like Anne Rice's Talamasca: The Secret Order on AMC. The six-episode series debuts on Oct. 26 and makes for a must-watch right now since it's a horror series closely related to Interview with the Vampire. But it's not the only horror series coming this week, and it's not the only show that will deliver chills and thrills.
While most Netflix fans will be watching the new season of the streamer's breakout Emmy Award-nominated romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This, the week also offers a new Harlan Coben series, the latest season of a Taylor Sheridan hit, and a prequel series based on one of the most beloved Stephen King horror stories. Find out what should be on your watch list!
