As temperatures continue to drop with the fall season, Netflix is giving subscribers even more reasons to stay warm indoors. This weekend, the streamer is set to check nine more titles off its October 2024 content list , growing the existing streaming library with additions like the original series Happiness Is and the film The Man Who Loved UFOs , as well as fan-favorites like American Ninja Warrior Season 14 and Seasons 10 and 11 of Ghost Hunters .
Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.
