Here we go, October on Binge is stacked — and we’ve pulled together the complete schedule plus all the trailers available so you can jump straight from reading to watching.

True-crime fans get a marquee drop with Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy (limited series, 16 Oct) — a chilling, victim-centred look at one of history’s most notorious killers, led by a transformative turn from Michael Chernus.

Film-wise, October flexes from prestige to pulse-pounders: Steven Soderbergh’s slick spy play Black Bag (2025) (4 Oct), Aussie survival shocker Dangerous Animals (2025) (23 Oct), Valentine’s Day slasher-romp Heart Eyes (2025) (2 Oct), and acclaimed outback thriller High Ground (2025) (2 Oct). Add in the Mr. Mercedes (Seasons 1–3) box set drop (perfect for a binge of moody crime drama) and a fresh run for Chicago P.D.: Season 13 (2 Oct), and your nights are sorted.

Comedy and late-night lovers are sorted as Saturday Night Live: Season 51 (6 Oct) launches a new era with refreshed energy and five new featured players joining Kenan, Bowen, Chloe, Jost and Che. Reality staples return too: Below Deck Mediterranean: Season 10 toasts a decade on the high seas with Captain Sandy and Chief Stew Aesha back at the helm, while The Real Housewives of Potomac: Season 10 (6 Oct) celebrates a landmark season with OGs, new faces and a cameo that’ll get the blogs buzzing.

There’s plenty for doco and lifestyle watchers as well. The Great Entertainer (20 Oct) honours the late Brian Walsh, charting the vision that helped shape modern Australian TV. Baking tents are back with The Great American Bake Off: Season 7 (7 Oct) and the celeb-packed Great Celebrity Bake Off: Season 8 (13 Oct), and home hunters get their weekly fix with Love It or List It Australia: Season 6 (1 Oct).
