Cancel Your Plans: Everything New on Netflix Oct 20–26, 2025
Netflix stacks October 20–26, 2025 with heavy hitters: The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 lands October 21, joined by Nobody Wants This Season 2, Parish, and A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE.
Netflix is loading up the week of October 20-26 with a zombie road trip through France, a steamy podcaster-meets-rabbi romance, a grim crime spiral, and an all-caps missile thriller. A little something for everyone, including the sickos who watched every Walking Dead spinoff. No judgment. Much.
The big swings
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 hits Netflix on Tuesday, October 21. This one keeps Daryl overseas, trying to figure out how on earth he ended up in France and how to get back home. Along the way, he collects new allies, new enemies, and a fresh stack of problems because of course he does. If you drifted away from the main show, this spinoff has a different vibe and a clearer lane: one stubborn survivor pushing across a strange new map.
Nobody Wants This Season 2 lands Thursday. The premise still rules: Joanne, a sex podcaster, and Noah Roklov, a newly single rabbi, are very into each other and constantly sandblasted by everything working against them — clashing beliefs, nosy families, and all the little frictions that come with mixing two very different lives. Expect the romance to stay messy, sharp, and very human.
Parish arrives Friday. It is a straight shot of crime-drama bleak: Gray is still haunted by his child’s murder when he gets pulled deep into the underworld with zero exits and danger waiting down every hallway. It’s the kind of setup where one bad decision at the top of the pilot turns into an avalanche by the finale.
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE also drops Friday and yes, the title is yelling for a reason. The hook is simple and intense: someone launches an unattributed missile inside the United States. Cue the race-against-the-clock investigation to track the culprit and stop whatever comes next. It sounds like one of those shows that lives or dies on momentum, which is exactly the point.
