October brings two major crime-drama returns to Paramount+, a new trip into the Avatar universe and a busy CBS premiere week. Sylvester Stallone is back as Dwight Manfredi when Tulsa King Season 4 arrives October 16. Michael C. Hall follows on October 30 with Season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection, giving the month a fittingly dark finish just before Halloween.
Between those premieres, Avatar: Seven Havens launches October 9. The new animated series takes place in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and introduces another generation to the franchise. Part 2 of the final season of All the Queen’s Men arrives October 21.
See what arrived last month in our September 2026 Paramount+ guide, and get a closer look at the October premieres in our Dexter and Avatar New York Comic Con preview.
