All the best TV shows and movies coming to Netflix this month - that will keep you up all night.

It’s October and you know what that means – Halloween Stranger Things Season Two comes out.

If you’re not counting the sleeps until October 27, then you must not have watched the first season, (which we highly recommend you do right now.)

The second season of the sci-fi masterpiece that is Stranger Things is not the only thing dropping in our Netflix libraries this month.

Here, we take a look at the best TV shows, movies and documentaries coming to Netflix this month. (Don’t worry, no spoilers here.)

Dynasty

Launch: Thursday, October 12. New episodes weekly.

If you haven't heard of Dynasty, then you're probably under 35, so we'll make this succinct. It was an iconic 1980s US soap opera which followed the feud of two very wealthy families, the Carringtons, and the Colbys.

This month audiences will be introduced to the reboot. The show begins as heiress Fallon Carrington finds out her father Blake Carrington is about to marry half-his-age Cristal.

The first episode will arrive on Netflix on Thursday, October 12, with new episodes following weekly.

You don't need to know anything about the older version to enjoy this show. In fact, all you really need to know is that its producers include Josh Schwartz, who helped bring Gossip Girl to life. And if you are a fan of the original series, you'll be comforted to know creators of the original series Esther and Richard Shapiro are also working as producers.

Stranger Things, Season 2

Launch: Friday, October 27.

As discussed, the much anticipated second season of Stranger Things will air just in time for Halloween. Click here for a fan's dissection of the trailer.  This season will kick off where the previous let off, and why are we even still talking? You know you want to watch it.

Riverdale, Season 2

Launch: Thursday, October 12. New episodes weekly.

In the first season of this American teen drama we were introduced to the seemingly perfect town and inhabitants of Riverdale - and quickly learned there was a slimy underbelly lurking underneath.

This time, another person is killed and there's more fun, mystery and gossip to follow.

Listen: The Binge team discuss Riverdale and other teen dramas.

The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)

Launch: Friday, October 13.

Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller star as waring half-brothers who, along with their sister, return to New York to helps support their sculptor father, played by Dustin Hoffman. It's a realistic look at dysfunctional families and has been getting rave reviews.

The Babysitter

Launch: Friday, October 13.

We're accustomed to the cliche of a pre-teen boy crushing on his "hot" teenaged babysitter. But what if that babysitter had a dark secret or was actually a homicidal maniac? That's what this original Netflix film explores. Expect a fun horror-comedy flick.

Joan Didion: The Centre Will Not Hold

Launch: Friday, October 27.

This is a film about the life of acclaimed US author and literary journalist Joan Didion, who formerly wrote for Vogue. It's lovingly made by her nephew Griffin Dunne.

Expect to hear about 'Aunt Joan' partying with Janis Joplin in a house full of LA rockers; hanging in a recording studio with Jim Morrison; and cooking dinner for one of Charles Manson’s women for a magazine story.
