56 New Movies & TV Series on Netflix US: October 1st, 2020

56 new TV series and movies touched down on Netflix in the United States for October 1st, 2020. Below, we’ll take a look at the stats of today’s new releases plus a full-text list of the full list of what’s new on Netflix for the first of the month. Plus, as always, we’ll look at what’s trending in the United States for the first too. 

If 56 new titles don’t seem like much to you, that’s because it’s not. It’s much lower than the 76 titles added in 2019 or the 68 the year before that. Also, when you consider that over 100 movies and TV series departed Netflix today, it’s a relatively poor day in a purely numbers sense.

Bad Teacher remains up top with Ratched top in the TV series list. The Good Place has had a gradual rise as people are slowly figuring out the final season was added last Sunday.
