This October, Disney+ is getting plenty of new originals, including Marvel’s “She-Hulk: Attorney In Law”, “Star Wars: Andor” and the return of some favourite Disney+ Originals.

Here’s a look at some of the new Disney+ Originals heading to our screens in October:

Werewolf by Night

On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader.

Inspired by horror films of the 1930s and 1940s, the chilling special aims to evoke a sense of dread and the macabre, with plenty of suspense and scares along the way as we explore a new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
