Nurse Jackie

All 7 seasons of the classic Showtime dark comedy series Nurse Jackie will hit Netflix on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. The series consists of 8 episodes, making it a great option for fans of vintage premium television. The series won 5 Emmys while it was on the air from 2009 to 2015, including Best Actress in a Comedy Series for star Edie Falco.

You might recognize Falco from her legendary role as Carmela on The Sopranos or her upcoming role in Taylor Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingstown, which premieres on Paramount+ later this month. In the same vein as House, Nurse Jackie is centered around a medical professional getting high on their own supply and offers plenty of commentary about the U.S. healthcare system.

True Haunting

True Haunting is a new 5-part docuseries from prolific horror director James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring). The series, which premieres in full on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, combines real-life interviews of people who claim to have paranormal encounters with cinematic dramatizations of the alleged ghostly events.

At just five episodes long, this series should be one of the easiest ones to binge on Netflix this week, especially if you’re looking for an original “spooky season” streaming choice. If you’re looking for something scary but not too over-the-top like some other Netflix horror shows, then True Haunting should be a great option this week.

Boots

One of the biggest new Netflix releases this week is Boots, a coming-of-age comedy series set in a Marine Corps boot camp. The entire 8-episode first season will drop on October 9, 2025. The series follows a bullied teen named Cameron who joins the Marines with his best friend without fully understanding the assignment and the realities of such a pursuit.

Cameron is played by Miles Heizer, who was a member of the ensemble cast of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why. It marks his first TV project since 2023’s The Sisters. Boots is created by Andy Parker, best known for series like Pantheon and Imposters. It also features a performance from Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (pictured in the featured image), best known for films like The Departed and shows like Bates Motel.

The series is set during the 1990s, which adds extra complications to Cameron’s life as a military recruit because he is gay. Back then, it was illegal for gay persons to be enlisted in the U.S. military under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Boots featured an unexpected genre collision of coming-of-age and military drama, making it one of the most unique new shows on Netflix to stream this week.

The Resurrected

The Resurrected is a new Taiwanese crime thriller series that will also be released on Netflix on Thursday, October 9. It follows two desperate mothers who resurrect a deceased ringleader of a fraud scheme that resulted in the kidnapping of their daughters. Looking for revenge and answers, they begin to unravel a dark web of secrets that will test their alliance.

The Resurrected consists of 9 episodes that will all release at the same time on Thursday. The official synopsis reads, “Set in the fictional city of Benkha. With help from a mysterious goddess, [the two mothers] revive the deceased ringleader of the fraud scheme to punish him. Yet, despite inflicting relentless pain, their fury remains unquenched.”

Interview With The Vampire

If you’re into supernatural horror, one of the best series you could watch on Netflix is Interview with the Vampire, which currently has 2 seasons with a third on the way in 2026. Anne Rice, who wrote the novels that inspired the classic Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt movie, was an executive producer on the series, so you know it has her personal stamp of approval.

Originally an AMC+ original series, Interview with the Vampire was nominated for 2 Emmys and earned a near-perfect 99% Rotten Tomatoes score for its first two seasons. The Chicago Tribune called it “so richly written, so thrillingly inhabited by its cast, so effortlessly funny.” With 15 hour-long episodes to sink your teeth into, it’s one of the best series to binge-watch this week, exclusively on Netflix.
