Which new series should you start first?
Tip Toe is the most urgent October start. It is a five-part psychological thriller by Russell T Davies starring Alan Cumming and David Morrissey as feuding Manchester neighbors. It premiered Oct. 2, 2026 on Starz with weekly episodes through Oct.
30, according to The Streamable in its how to watch Tip Toe guide. The weekly format suits viewers who like one tense episode at a time. Start with episode one now, then stay current through the Oct. 30 finale. The short run also makes it easy to catch up without a long backlog.
What is airing weekly for Outlander fans?
Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 is streaming weekly on Starz on Fridays. Episode 3, "Rabbits Don't Swim," arrived Oct. 2, 2026, with Episode 4 scheduled for Oct.
9, 2026, according to the Radio Times in its full Season 2 release schedule. This is a prequel centered on earlier generations of the Outlander family story. Watch it week to week if you want to avoid spoilers. If you prefer binges, wait until the weekly run finishes.
Which Power saga is ready to binge?
All four completed Power universe series remain streaming on Starz in the U.S. The titles are Power, Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force. They concurrently ranked in Starz's Top 10 in early October 2026, according to Screen Rant in its Power streaming milestone report. Power Book III: Raising Kanan is now a complete story.
Its fifth and final season premiered June 12, 2026 and ended Aug. 7, 2026, making the full 1990s Kanan Stark origin story available to binge, according to the Starz press release via The Futon Critic in its final-season announcement. New viewers can begin with flagship Power, then follow Ghost, Raising Kanan, and Force. Returning viewers can rewatch one completed branch without waiting for new episodes.
What should you watch before December?
Spartacus: House of Ashur arrives with two episodes on Dec. 5, 2026. The new chapter stars Nick Tarabay as Ashur, now owner of the former House of Batiatus.
BroadwayWorld reported the date and premise. October is a good window to stream the original Spartacus now. Add Black Sails and Ash vs Evil Dead for related action, horror, and pirate drama. That gives viewers about eight weeks to finish older seasons before the new premiere.
How do you watch these October episodes?
Starz's October 2026 slate added library films Oct. 1 alongside weekly Friday original episodes. Vital Thrills reports the shows are available through the Starz app and on-demand platforms. Viewers need an active Starz subscription directly or as an add-on.
Starz remains the primary U.S. home for all Power spinoffs. Men's Journal reports that Lionsgate's non-exclusive Netflix deal mainly adds the shows internationally, with flagship Power moving to U.S. Netflix in November 2026, excluding Canada and upcoming Power: Origins and Legacy.
