It’s only fitting that the spooky shows are thriving this October. Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie has locked in a second season at Prime Video, proving that the telekinetic teen really is too powerful to be stopped. Plus, FX has broken out the ouija board and summoned another season of TV’s most famous horror series, American Horror Story. The anthology show will return for a 14th season, which was confirmed shortly after the Season 13 premiere became creator Ryan Murphy’s biggest streaming premiere on Hulu ever. Not to be outdone, Disney+’s YA witch school drama Coven Academy has also been renewed.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
But it’s not just horror. It turns out that in October, crime also pays. Some of the month’s biggest renewals are at least crime adjacent, including Paramount+’s fish-out-of-water mob show Tulsa King, Apple TV’s murder mystery thriller\u00a0Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, the soapy thrillers The Hunting Wives\u00a0(at Netflix) and\u00a0Imperfect Women\u00a0(at Apple TV), and Prime Video’s\u00a0Reacher spin-off Neagley. But not all crime-heavy shows are seeing new life: The next season of Paramount+’s\u00a0Criminal Minds: Evolution is going to be its last.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other renewals this month include CBS’s reality stalwart\u00a0Big Brother, Netflix’s political thriller\u00a0The Diplomat and sitcom revival\u00a0A Different World, and Paramount+’s Avatar: Seven Havens. <\/p>\n
