The dating experiment that asks whether you can fall in love without ever seeing someone's face is back, and this time, the singles are heading to Boston. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the eleventh season follows a new group of hopeful romantics as they date through the infamous pods, get engaged sight unseen and eventually discover whether their emotional connection survives the real world.

Love of Your Life

Release date: October 13

Where to watch: Prime Video

Starring Margaret Qualley as Maya and Gabriel Basso as Charlie, this romantic drama looks beyond the meet-cute to explore what happens when life refuses to follow the plan. An unexpected encounter sets Maya on a new emotional course, challenging her ideas about love, loss and the future she thought she had figured out. Directed by Rachel Morrison, the film promises a more vulnerable, complicated take on romance than your usual happily-ever-after. Keep the tissues handy.

Carrie

Release date: October 7

Where to watch: Prime Video

Halloween season calls for a little psychological horror, and Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of Stephen King's debut novel is ready to deliver. Summer H. Howell plays Carrie White, a socially isolated teenager whose telekinetic powers become increasingly terrifying as she struggles with bullying, social pressure and her deeply controlling mother, played by Samantha Sloyan. Reimagined for an era of online harassment and relentless schoolyard scrutiny, this eight-episode series revisits a horror classic while giving its characters and their traumas room to breathe. All eight episodes are available to stream, so consider your spooky-season binge sorted.

Make room in your calendar, charge your headphones and perhaps resist the temptation to check your phone halfway through an episode. October's streaming slate has something for every mood.
