Paramount+ Announces October 2026 Lineup Featuring Brad Pitt and Returning Hit Series

October 2026 brings a varied slate of theatrical releases, from crime dramas, satires and romances to survival thrillers, though horror offerings are relatively limited. One highlighted film is Heart of the Beast, starring Brad Pitt as a retired Special Forces veteran stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with his combat dog; a review praises the pair’s emotional bond, the dog’s performance and the film’s stark landscapes. Other films featured in September previews include A Break in the Rain and a fantasy story about two girls transported to a mysterious island, while a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility is also reviewed. Paramount+’s October lineup mixes returning series such as Tulsa King and Dexter: Resurrection with the animated Avatar: Seven Havens, a Halloween horror collection and live sports.
In the fantasy film about Jo and Raissa, the girls’ time on the island of Nakali comes at a cost: they risk losing their memories and forgetting each other.
A Break in the Rain follows Jake Watson, grieving the deaths of his wife and son from cancer, as he returns to the family home he left amid conflict and tries to find a way forward.
The Heart of the Beast review notes that combat dog Odin has a prosthetic leg and says the film explores trauma suffered by service dogs through flashbacks; the dog was played by German Shepherd Uber and his three sons.
Paramount+’s CBS Premiere Week starts October 4, with returning shows including Marshals, Tracker and NCIS, alongside new series Cupertino, NCIS: New York and Eternally Yours.
