What’s new on TOD in October 2026: Movies and TV shows

TOD’s October line-up features two very different movie nights. Animated sports comedy GOAT arrives on 8 October, while Cold Storage brings Liam Neeson and a dangerous fungal outbreak to the service on 15 October. One involves a small goat chasing a sporting dream; the other is considerably less wholesome.

On the television side, S.W.A.T Exiles starts the month with a new team of unpredictable recruits, and Tulsa King season 4 arrives later in October. There are also Arabic films and drama, full-season releases and a separate selection of catch-up movies and shows. Here are the highlights and release dates to help plan your watchlist. For the previous month’s line-up, see our September TOD guide.

This guide follows TOD’s supplied October 2026 release plan. The date for Alıkara remains tentative, and catch-up programming is listed separately from the main arrivals.

What are the highlights on TOD in October?

S.W.A.T Exiles: 1 October

Shemar Moore stars in this new action-crime series about a veteran brought out of retirement to lead an experimental unit. His recruits are untested, unpredictable and being given a last chance, which leaves plenty of room for trouble before anyone even gets to an assignment.

TOD lists the first season as 10 episodes released weekly, beginning on 1 October. This is one to follow through the month rather than save for a launch-weekend binge.

GOAT: 8 October

A small goat gets an unlikely opportunity to compete professionally in roarball, a full-contact sport dominated by much larger and fiercer animals. The animated comedy takes a familiar underdog story and gives its hopeful newcomer a particularly intimidating playing field.

Directed by Tyree Dillihay, with Caleb McLaughlin and Gabrielle Union among the voice cast, GOAT is listed as one of TOD’s new exclusive movies for October.

Cold Storage: 15 October

A dangerous fungus escapes from a secret laboratory, forcing a former bioterrorism agent back into action. Two young employees join the effort to contain a threat that is both difficult to see and rapidly getting out of control.

Liam Neeson features in the cast of this Jonny Campbell-directed film, which TOD categorises as comedy and horror. Its 15 October arrival makes it a timely addition to the month’s horror watchlist.

Alıkara: 15 October, to be confirmed

This TOD Studios drama follows Işık, a forensic psychologist, and Deniz, a homicide detective. Her father’s disappearance and his investigation into his niece’s suspicious death bring them together, with their professional lives becoming increasingly tangled in a developing relationship.

Miray Daner and Halit Özgür Sari star, and TOD plans to release all 10 episodes of season 1 together. However, the supplied schedule explicitly marks 15 October as TBC, so treat this as a provisional watchlist entry.

Tulsa King season 4: 17 October

Dwight is trying to make his growing empire legitimate, but new enemies, corrupt politicians and personal loss threaten that ambition. The next season puts his loyalties to the test while forcing him to confront the past he is trying to move beyond.

Sylvester Stallone returns in the crime drama, with weekly episodes scheduled to begin on 17 October. TOD has not supplied an episode count for this season.

Ab w Lakn: 20 October

A devoted father finds himself navigating court battles and restricted visits with his daughter after a family crisis. The Arabic drama-comedy centres on his struggle to remain part of her life as the circumstances around them change.

The cast includes Lolia Hisham Sultan and Muhammad Farrag. Unlike the weekly releases elsewhere in the schedule, the first season’s 15 episodes are listed as a binge release on 20 October.

When are October’s new and returning titles arriving?

The main entertainment schedule mixes new movies, returning seasons and two full-season series releases. For weekly shows, the dates below mark the scheduled start of the season on TOD, not the release date of each episode.

Beyond the headline arrivals, DOC continues Dr Amy Larsen’s story as returning memories threaten the life and career she has rebuilt. NCIS brings new cases and unfinished business for Parker’s team, while the FBI pairs Maggie with a new partner and OA with a covert assignment.

For something outside the crime-drama rotation, Shark Tank season 18 returns to business pitches, investor negotiations and entrepreneurs trying to turn an idea into a deal.

Which Arabic movies are joining TOD?

Beit El Ruby, arriving on 9 October, follows Ibrahim Al Ruby after a private family incident is leaked on social media. He retreats to a village with his wife and children, hoping to escape public attention and the pressures of modern life. The 2023 comedy-drama stars Karim Abdel Aziz and Nour.

A week later, Gawaza Toxic arrives on 16 October. This 2024 comedy-drama follows Karim as his parents travel to Hurghada to meet the family of the woman he loves. The relationship is about to become a much bigger family discussion, with Bayoumi Fouad and Laila Eloui among the cast.

Which catch-up movies and shows are listed for October?

TOD’s release plan also includes a separate “Disney Catch-up” section, organised under Star Action, Star Movies and Star World. These are catch-up listings rather than entries in the main new-and-exclusive release line-up. The selection includes films such as Silver Linings Playbook and Kill Bill: Volume 01, as well as Little Disasters and the second season of How I Met Your Mother.

What horror is TOD highlighting for October?

Alongside the dated arrival of Cold Storage, TOD is promoting a “Fear Season” selection. The collection’s release plan features titles including The Monkey, Amelia’s Children, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Elevator Game.

The Fear Season page does not provide individual arrival dates or identify every title as a new October addition. Treat it as a seasonal horror selection rather than another dated release list.

What’s new for kids on TOD?

Three Arabic-language children’s shows are listed for 1 October. When I Was Your Age and Science Voyagers appear under Jeem, while Dylan’s Playtime Adventures is listed under Baraem as preschool programming. TOD marks Science Voyagers and Dylan’s Playtime Adventures as exclusive in the supplied plan.
