Your Ultimate Streaming Guide: Disney Plus and Hulu in October 2025
Can you feel it? That little chill in the air is back, the leaves are thinking about changing colors, and all you want to do is curl up on the couch with a good show. Well, get ready, because October 2025 is shaping up to be a huge month for anyone with a Disney Plus and Hulu subscription.
Streaming services know that as the weather gets cooler, we all spend a little more time indoors. That means they save some of their best releases for this time of year! So, grab your favorite blanket and a snack, because we’re diving into everything you can expect to watch next month.
The Disney Plus and Hulu Power Combo
First things first, let’s talk about how Disney Plus and Hulu work together. With the bundle, you get a massive library of content all in one place. Think of it like a giant buffet. Disney Plus has all the comfort food—Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar—while Hulu brings the spicy, exciting new dishes you can’t wait to try.
October is the perfect month to have both, as you’ll be switching between family-friendly Halloween fun and more grown-up, scary thrillers.
Spooky Season Hits Disney Plus
October means one thing for Disney: Halloween! You can bet they are gearing up to deliver all the spooky, but not-too-scary, content you love.
Family-Friendly Frights
Get ready for the whole family to enjoy the Halloween spirit. While you can always count on classics like Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas, we’re expecting Disney to drop a brand-new Halloween special or two. This is often the time we see fun, holiday-themed episodes of popular kids’ shows or even a new animated short film. It’s the perfect content for a fun movie night with the little ones.
Marvel’s Darker Side
Remember how cool Werewolf by Night was? October is the ideal time for Marvel Studios to release another “Special Presentation.” These one-off stories let them explore darker, more mysterious corners of the Marvel universe without committing to a full series. Could we see a Ghost Rider or Blade special? We can only hope!
Hulu Brings the Prestige and Thrills
While Disney Plus handles the family fun, Hulu is where you’ll find the more intense, edge-of-your-seat entertainment. Hulu has a reputation for award-winning dramas and genuinely scary horror, and this October should be no different.
Must-See New Shows
Fall is traditionally a huge season for television, and Hulu is a major player. Expect to see either the return of a beloved original series or the premiere of a brand-new drama that will have everyone talking. Keep an eye out for a new limited series that you can binge over a weekend.
The “Huluween” Collection
Hulu always goes all-out for its “Huluween” event. This is a specially curated collection of horror movies, psychological thrillers, and scary TV shows. We’re predicting they will add a mix of classic horror films you may have missed and at least one brand-new, terrifying Hulu original movie. If you’re a horror fan, your October watchlist is about to get very, very long.
What We’re Most Excited For
While we don’t have the exact list just yet, here are a few things we’re hoping to see pop up on Disney Plus and Hulu in October 2025:
- The streaming debut of a major summer blockbuster that you missed in theaters.
- A stunning new nature documentary from National Geographic, perfect for a cozy afternoon.
- The season finale of a hit Hulu original that finally answers all our burning questions.
- A surprise collection of classic animated shorts on Disney Plus, just for nostalgia’s sake.
October is looking packed, and there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for a superhero adventure, a scary movie, or a compelling drama, you won’t have to look far.
