For U.S. viewers, the strongest subscription-streaming arrivals during the week of Oct. 27–Nov. 2, 2025 are The Witcher Season 4 on Netflix, Jurassic World Rebirth on Peacock, Hedda on Prime Video, Down Cemetery Road on Apple TV, Sorry, Baby on HBO Max, and new seasons of Hazbin Hotel and Star Wars: Visions. Halloween night itself is quieter for major premieres, but Shudder’s scheduled pairing of Halloween (1978) and Deadstream gives horror viewers a ready-made double feature.
This is an editorial selection of notable arrivals, not a complete catalog-refresh list. Dates refer to the U.S. schedules reported for that week; exact release times, plan eligibility and later availability can vary by service.
The week’s best bets
1. The Witcher Season 4 — Netflix, Oct. 30
Netflix’s returning fantasy series is the week’s biggest binge-oriented premiere. It is a new season rather than a new show, so viewers should catch up before starting. The Netflix schedule lists the season for Oct. 30. Netflix schedule
2. Jurassic World Rebirth — Peacock, Oct. 30
The franchise film makes its subscription-streaming debut on Peacock, making it the clearest choice for a large-scale, low-commitment movie night. The Associated Press identified it as a Peacock arrival after its theatrical run. Associated Press

What arrives on Halloween, Friday Oct. 31?
Halloween is not the week’s main premiere day; the largest concentration lands Oct. 29–30. The most useful Oct. 31 plan is Shudder’s 9 p.m. ET double feature of Halloween (1978) and Deadstream. Because the schedule is service-specific and may be delivered through a channel add-on, check the Shudder listing in your subscription interface before the event.

Subscription decisions for this week
Choose based on the title you will actually watch rather than assuming every service has equivalent access. Netflix is the logical short-term choice for The Witcher or several film and library options; Prime Video covers both Hedda and Hazbin Hotel Season 2; Peacock is focused here on the weekend movie value of Jurassic World Rebirth and The Fall Guy; Apple TV suits viewers willing to follow a weekly mystery; Disney+ serves animation and franchise households; Hulu is more attractive if you also use its television and reality catalog; HBO Max targets prestige-film viewers; Shudder is a particularly focused Halloween purchase; and MGM+ is mainly a consideration for Robin Hood.
Some titles may be reached through bundles or channel add-ons rather than a direct base subscription. Plan names, prices and promotional terms change, so verify the service’s current U.S. signup page before subscribing.
The Bottom Line
Quick verdict: Pick Hedda or Jurassic World Rebirth for one movie, The Witcher Season 4 for a binge, Down Cemetery Road for a weekly mystery, Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 for animation, and Shudder’s Halloween/Deadstream pairing for Oct. 31.
