Here Are All the Movies Coming to Netflix This Week, Including ‘Caramelo’

October is packed with fresh thrills, literary adaptations, and a full sci-fi trilogy drop—plus a couple of international gems you might’ve missed the first time around. From a Shirley Jackson chiller to a Ruth Ware yacht mystery, and from Brazilian heart-warmers to a Japanese dark comedy about a very messy family reunion, there’s a lot to queue up.

Below, you’ll find every title arriving between Monday 10/6 and Sunday 10/12, with a quick download on what each project is about and who’s involved. Dates in each entry reflect when the title lands this week so you can jump straight in.

‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’ (2019)

Based on Shirley Jackson’s 1962 novel, this gothic mystery follows sisters Merricat Blackwood and Constance, who live in isolation with their Uncle Julian after a family tragedy—and a small town’s lingering suspicion. When their cousin Charles turns up, the fragile peace shatters as buried secrets surface. Stacie Passon directs, with a screenplay by Mark Kruger. The cast includes Taissa Farmiga (Merricat), Alexandra Daddario (Constance), Crispin Glover (Julian), and Sebastian Stan (Charles). It arrives on Tuesday, 10/7.

Shot by cinematographer Piers McGrail with a nervy score from Andrew Hewitt, the film leans into the novel’s claustrophobia and unreliable narration. The story’s central conflict—outsiders versus the haunted Blackwoods—plays out as a slow-burn about control and survival. Producer credits include Jared Ian Goldman, Robert Mitas, and Kieran Corrigan; the runtime is 96 minutes.

‘Caramelo’ (2025)

This Brazilian drama follows a promising chef whose life is upended by a diagnosis—then unexpectedly brightened by a caramel-colored stray dog who barrels into his world. Directed by Diego Freitas (‘Beyond the Universe’), and written by Freitas with Rod Azevedo and Carolina Castro, it stars Rafael Vitti alongside Ademara Barros, Roger Gobeth, Noemia Oliveira, and Carolina Ferraz. It lands on Wednesday, 10/8.

Inspired by Brazil’s beloved “vira-lata caramelo” street dogs, the film blends personal struggle with a larger cultural moment that has seen these mixed-breed pups celebrated nationwide. Behind the camera, Iafa Britz produces, with Kauê Zilli as cinematographer and contributions from Carolina Castro and Rod Azevedo on the script; the story emphasizes companionship, resilience, and second chances.

‘Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials’ (2015)

The second installment in the YA dystopian saga picks up as Thomas and the Gladers flee WCKD’s facility and cross a ruined, desert-blasted world known as the Scorch, seeking a resistance group called the Right Arm. Wes Ball directs from a screenplay by T.S. Nowlin, adapting James Dashner’s novel; the cast features Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, Giancarlo Esposito, Aidan Gillen, Barry Pepper, Lili Taylor, and Patricia Clarkson. It arrives on Thursday, 10/9.

Shot by Gyula Pados with music by John Paesano, the film expands the series’ worldbuilding with infected “Cranks,” abandoned cities, and rogue outposts. Producers include Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, Lee Stollman, and Joe Hartwick Jr.; editor Dan Zimmerman returns from the first film, keeping the chase-driven pacing tight across a 131-minute runtime.

‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ (2018)

The trilogy finale sends Thomas and the remaining Gladers on their most dangerous mission—breaking into the Last City to rescue friends and confront WCKD once and for all. Wes Ball again directs, with T.S. Nowlin scripting from James Dashner’s book. The returning ensemble includes Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, Patricia Clarkson, and adds Nathalie Emmanuel, Walton Goggins, and others. It lands on Thursday, 10/9.

Cinematographer Gyula Pados and composer John Paesano round out the series’ consistent creative team, with producers Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, Joe Hartwick Jr., Wes Ball, and Lee Stollman. The production famously paused after O’Brien’s on-set injury before resuming and completing the 143-minute finale.

‘The Maze Runner’ (2014)

The origin story introduces Thomas, who wakes in the Glade with no memory and joins a community of boys trying to survive—and escape—a shifting labyrinth patrolled by lethal Grievers. Wes Ball makes his feature debut, directing from a screenplay by Noah Oppenheim, Grant Pierce Myers, and T.S. Nowlin, based on James Dashner’s novel. Stars include Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Will Poulter, Ki Hong Lee, and Patricia Clarkson. It arrives on Thursday, 10/9.

Backed by Temple Hill and Gotham Group, the film’s tight, mystery-forward structure set up the series’ bigger conspiracy around WCKD and the Flare virus. John Paesano composed the score, Enrique Chediak handled cinematography, and Dan Zimmerman edited; the film runs 113 minutes and launched the franchise worldwide.

‘Swim to Me’ (2025)

Set over a turbulent summer in Chile, this drama centers on Estela, a young domestic worker who relocates to Santiago and forms an intense bond with the girl she cares for—until social divides force a reckoning. The film features María Paz Grandjean, Rosa Puga Vittini, and Ignacia Baeza. It arrives on Friday, 10/10.

Framed as a social-issue drama and adapted from literature, the story tracks class, care, and coming-of-age tensions with an intimate focus on two lives crossing under unequal terms. The project is listed under Chilean drama and “Movies Based on Books,” with a feature runtime and a trailer already available.

‘Nouvelle Vague’ (2025)

Richard Linklater’s French-language, black-and-white homage dramatizes the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s 1959 landmark ‘À bout de souffle’ (‘Breathless’). Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard, Zoey Deutch portrays Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin appears as Jean-Paul Belmondo, with the film recreating the breakneck, rule-shattering production that helped ignite the French New Wave. It lands on Friday, 10/10.

The screenplay credits include Holly Gent and Vincent Palmo with Linklater, and the film premiered in competition at Cannes 2025 before a fall U.S. rollout. Across festival coverage and official materials, the project is positioned as a cinephile love letter that doubles as a behind-the-scenes chronicle of producer Georges de Beauregard, DP Raoul Coutard, and the circle around Godard and Truffaut.

‘The Woman in Cabin 10’ (2025)

Adapted from Ruth Ware’s bestseller, this psychological thriller follows travel journalist Laura “Lo” Blacklock, who believes she witnesses a woman thrown overboard during a luxury voyage—only to be told all passengers are accounted for. Simon Stone directs; the cast includes Keira Knightley as Lo, with Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, Kaya Scodelario, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Art Malik, and Daniel Ings. It arrives on Friday, 10/10.

Stone co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse; recent coverage from the film’s special screening highlights Ware’s involvement and Knightley’s take on Lo’s anxious resolve. Credits include cinematography by Ben Davis and music by Benjamin Wallfisch.

‘My Father, the BTK Killer’ (2025)

This feature documentary examines Dennis Rader—known as the BTK Killer—through the perspective of his daughter, Kerri Rawson, interweaving archival material and new interviews to trace the double life of a scout leader and family man who terrorized Wichita for years. Directed by Skye Borgman (‘Abducted in Plain Sight’), the film is produced by Campfire Studios’ Ross M. Dinerstein and Rebecca Evans. It arrives on Friday, 10/10.

The documentary sets out the timeline of the BTK murders, Rader’s communications with media, and the eventual unmasking that stunned his family and community. Additional details confirm a 93-minute runtime and Netflix as distributor, with Borgman shaping the narrative focus on Rawson’s experience.

‘Typhoon Family’ (2019)

Masahide Ichii’s darkly comic crime drama (also known as ‘The Stormy Family’ / ‘Taifu Kazoku’) follows four adult siblings who reunite years after their bank-robber parents vanished—ostensibly to settle an inheritance and stage a funeral—and end up sifting through old resentments and long-buried truths. The ensemble includes Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Machiko Ono, Tomoya Nakamura, Rumi Sakakibara, Mahiru Koda, and Hirofumi Arai. It arrives on Saturday, 10/11.

Ichii writes and directs, blending family melodrama with caper elements; production details list a 108-minute runtime and release via Kino Films in Japan. Festival databases and film guides note the film’s mix of crime, comedy, and drama as the siblings navigate fallout from their parents’ heist and a decade of absence.
