New on Disney Plus in October 2021: All the new movies and shows

As October rolls around, that can only mean one thing – it's officially spooky season, and Disney Plus is certainly getting into the festive spirit this month. As can be expected from the House of Mouse, there's plenty of family-friendly fare here if you want to avoid a blood and guts fest – the Muppets, LEGO Star Wars, and even Mickey himself are back with Halloween specials. Over on Star in the UK, there are horror movies like The Hills Have Eyes remake (and its sequel), as well as supernatural TV shows American Horror Story and What We Do in the Shadows if you're in the mood for a seasonal binge watch. 

Not into Halloween? You can now catch Black Widow for no additional charge, as well as the finale of Marvel's What If…? Plus, in the UK, there are new weekly episodes of The Walking Dead and Only Murders in the Building. That's only the start of it, too – scroll down to discover everything coming to Disney Plus this October, in both the US and the UK, with three of our highlights at the top.

Black Widow – October 6

If you missed Black Widow in theaters or on Premier Access, now's your chance to see Scarlett Johansson's Marvel swan song. Set after the events of Captain America: Civil War, the movie sees Scarlett Johansson take one final turn as Natasha Romanoff (AKA Black Widow) – the character, along with Tony Stark, met a fateful end in Avengers: Endgame, so this is likely to be the last time we see her on screen.  

Muppets Haunted Mansion – October 8

Get spooky (in a family-friendly manner, of course) with the Muppets Haunted Mansion, a new movie featuring everyone's favorite puppets. The movie has an A-list human cast including Will Arnett, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Darren Criss and follows Gonzo as he spends a night in the Haunted Mansion. Kirk Thatcher, who previously helmed other Muppet flicks including It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and co-wrote Muppet Treasure Island, wrote and directed the movie. 

Marvel Studios: Assembled – The Making of What If…? –October 27

After the animated series comes to an end, you can go behind the scenes of Marvel's What If…? with this new episode of Marvel Studios: Assembled. The anthology series asks a not-so-simple question: what if certain pivotal events in the MCU had gone down a little differently? Previous episodes of Marvel Studios: Assembled have included exclusive interviews with cast members and exclusive peeks behind the camera, so it's likely we can expect the same from this episode.
