Here's your must-watch list for fall.

It's time for cozy nights in with movies and popcorn, or to escape work and school with a bit of binge-watching. On top of those motivations, we're only a little over a month out from Halloween, a.k.a. close enough to bust out the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/most-fashionable-horror-movies-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">horror flicks</a>. Streaming platforms know all these things and have slated some content that truly fits the bill. Check out our most anticipated watches for this October.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jake-gyllenhaal-age-young-photos-movies-donnie-darko" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jake Gyllenhaal</a> and Ethan Hawke team up in The Guilty, a new thriller coming to Netflix on October 1. In the film, a police detective is demoted to dispatch duty and sets out to save a caller. It is adapted from a 2018 Danish movie of the same name. Even if crime flicks aren't your thing, check it out for the handsome leading men.

Amazon Prime is making a business of music documentaries. Their latest work is Justin Bieber: Our World, a pandemic-era look at the world-famous pop star. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/justin-bieber-documentary-series-seasons-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documentary</a> follows the lead-up to his live-streamed rooftop show on New Year's Eve 2020, the singer's first concert in three years.

Packed concerts seem so distant to us now. But, before the pandemic shut down such gatherings, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/young-photos-madonna-birthday-80s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madonna</a> managed to film a number of shows on her 2019-2020 tour Madame X. Now, that footage will be released in a concert film of the same name which focuses on her performance in Lisbon, Portugal. A trailer for the film shows costumes and backup dancers galore, and announces, as Madonna herself has often done, "Artists are here to disturb the peace." Madame X will be available to stream on Paramount+ on October 8.

"Madame X"

The third season of the thriller will arrive on Netflix on October 15. Last we saw Joe, played by Penn Badgley, he was up to his usual murderous ways, but this time with a lady lover.
