Premieres Coming To Disney+ UK & STAR In October 2021

Disney has released their full list of upcoming premieres for October on Disney+ and Star in the UK, as the streaming service leans into the spookiest month of the year! Here is a breakdown of all the premieres landing on the streaming service next month.

Disney+ & STAR Originals October Highlights

Lego Star Wars: Terrifying Tales – 1st October 2021

After the events of “The Rise of Skywalker,” Poe and BB-8 must make an emergency landing on the volcanic planet Mustafar where they meet the greedy and conniving Graballa the Hutt who has purchased Darth Vader’s castle and is renovating it into the galaxy’s first all-inclusive Sith-inspired luxury hotel. While waiting for his X-wing to be repaired, Poe, BB-8, Graballa, and Dean (a plucky and courageous young boy who works as Graballa’s mechanic) venture deep into the mysterious castle with Vader’s loyal servant, Vaneé. Along the way, Vaneé shares three creepy stories linked to ancient artefacts and iconic villains from across all eras of Star Wars. As Vaneé spins his tales and lures our heroes deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the castle, a sinister plan emerges. With the help of Dean, Poe and BB-8 will have to face their fears, stop an ancient evil from rising, and escape to make it back to their friends.

Among the Stars – 6th October 2021

‘Among The Stars’ is a six-part docuseries with “fly on the wall” access into the wider world of NASA, with cameras on Earth and in space. NASA astronaut Captain Chris Cassidy is on a quest to get back in his spacesuit for one last mission. This series follows Chris and the wider team who take on missions that risk life, limb and reputation for the greater good of humankind. Join them as their missions unfold.

Hip Hop Uncovered – 6th October 2021

‘Hip Hop Uncovered’ reveals the untold story of how America’s streets helped shape hip hop culture from an expression of survival and defiance into music’s most dominant genre. The documentary series takes a deep dive into the paradox of America’s criminalisation of the genre and its fascination with the street culture that created it and still exists within.

Muppets Haunted Mansion – 8th October 2021

In ‘Muppets Haunted Mansion’, the world-famous daredevil The Great Gonzo takes on the greatest challenge of his life by spending the night in the scariest place on Earth: the Haunted Mansion. Teamed with his friend Pepé the King Prawn, this musical comedy reunites Kermit and the entire Muppets gang, who portray the beloved grim grinning ghosts of the Haunted Mansion in this star-studded, frightfully funny Muppets adventure.

Reservation Dogs – 13th October 2021

From Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, ‘Reservation Dogs’ is a half-hour comedy series that follows the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob and save in order to get to the exotic, faraway land of California. The show’s first-of-its-kind Indigenous creative team invites audiences into a surprisingly familiar and funny world. The series stars D’Pharoah Woon-A-Ta, Devery Jacobs, Paulina Alexis and Lane Factor.

Just Beyond – 13th October 2021

Inspired by the writings of R.L. Stine (‘Goosebumps’, ‘Fear Street’), ‘Just Beyond’ is an eight-episode anthology series that tells astonishing and thought-provoking stories of a reality just beyond the one we know. Each episode introduces viewers to a new cast of characters who must go on a surprising journey of self-discovery in a supernatural world of witches, aliens, ghosts and parallel universes.

American Horror Story: Double Feature – 20th October 2021

In ‘American Horror Story: Double Feature’, a struggling writer, his pregnant wife, and their daughter move to an isolated beach town for the winter. As they settle in, the town’s true residents make themselves known. This season is the 10th instalment of the award-winning anthology series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

Other Notable October Launches On Disney+ UK & Star

Alongside the various “Originals”, there are some interesting boxsets and films being added to the streaming service for you to rewatch, or see for the first time.

On the film side, ‘Black Widow’ will get its general release for all on Disney+ (as opposed to the “premium” access where you have to pay extra) from the 6th October. If you’re looking for something a little… different, the original 1975 cult classic ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ will land on the streaming service from 1st October. Historical drama ‘Hidden Figures’ also lands on the service this month, alongside the last outing (for now…) of Hugh Jackman as ‘Logan’.

With the box-sets, ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Seasons 1 and 2 land via Star On Disney+ for you catch up enjoyment. Both seasons of espionage thriller ‘Deep State’, which starred Mark Strong (Season 1) and Walton Goggins (Season 2), also join the service this month. All six seasons of beloved procedural ‘White Collar’ also comes to Star On Disney+, starring Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay and the sadly recently passed Willie Garson. Also coming are Season 1-3 of the political drama ‘Tyrant’, and all 3 Season (including a premiere for Season 3) of Australian black comedy-crime drama ‘Mr InBetween’.
