New on Netflix October 21-27: Do you dare open del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities?

As usual, Netflix is adding a few new shows and movies between October 21-27th. You can also check out what’s leaving Netflix and Netflix Canada in October if you want to binge those first. Of course, being October, you can check out the Netflix Halloween “Streams & Screams” Collection for some spine-tingling movies and shows.

NOTE: Titles without a 🇺🇸 or 🇨🇦 designation after them are coming to both countries, while country-specific titles will be indicated as such. Flag symbols within the parenthesis indicate the country in which the film or series was produced.

Without further ado, let’s check out the New on Netflix October 21-27th list, which is headlined by bizarre nightmares unfolding in eight tales of terror in Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. While the teaser is below, the official trailer is age-restricted and can be viewed on YouTube.

Netflix Games

While not movies or TV shows, Netflix is back with monthly mobile game releases. Netflix Games are available on Android and iOS devices. All you need is a Netflix subscription —there are no ads, fees, or in-app purchases. Simply open your Netflix mobile app, find the ‘mobile games row’ and download to play up to 28 different mobile games – spanning from arcade, adventure, card, puzzle, racing – and plenty more to come.
