October brings a mix of throwbacks and fresh premieres to Netflix. Nineties fans will be thrilled to see the Austin Powers trilogy streaming on Oct. 1, Time reports. Mike Myers’ spy spoof may be outrageous, but it remains one of the most quotable franchises of that decade. Adding to the retro mood, Victoria Beckham arrives Oct. 9. The documentary spotlights Posh Spice and the lasting cultural mark of the Spice Girls, making it essential viewing for anyone who lived through the “girl power” wave.

Meanwhile, The Diplomat returns Oct. 16 with Bradley Whitford and Alison Janney reuniting for its third season. The timing is perfect for fans of political drama since the show has earned praise for its sharp writing and tense storylines. On the same day, basketball fans get a treat with Season 2 of Starting 5. This installment goes inside the 2024–25 NBA season with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Jaylen Brown. With SGA and Haliburton fresh off a Finals run, the behind-the-scenes storytelling promises plenty of intrigue.

A star turn for Colin Farrell

Toward the end of the month, acclaimed filmmaker Edward Berger returns with Ballad of a Small Player, streaming Oct. 29. The film adapts Lawrence Osborne’s novel about a desperate gambler in Macau, starring Colin Farrell in a performance already drawing strong praise after its Telluride debut. With Tilda Swinton, Fala Chen, Deanie Ip, and Alex Jennings rounding out the cast, this drama looks set to close out Netflix’s October slate on a powerful note.
