BINGE October 2026 highlights

BINGE October 2026 highlights – A major new supernatural thriller, returning reality favourites, prestige drama, comedy, horror movies and a busy live sport calendar headline the October line-up on BINGE.

The month’s biggest new arrival is Yaga, a contemporary reimagining of the Baba Yaga legend starring Hudson Williams, Carrie-Anne Moss and Noah Reid. It launches with a double episode on 23 October.

For Australian viewers, October is unusually broad. BINGE is balancing a new scripted tentpole with returning franchises including Below Deck, Chicago P.D. and The Great British Bake Off, while AFLW, international cricket, surfing and netball add regular live appointments across the month.

Yaga leads BINGE’s October premieres

Yaga blends supernatural horror, police procedural and thriller elements in a modern take on the Baba Yaga mythology. The series stars Hudson Williams, Carrie-Anne Moss and Noah Reid and premieres with two episodes on Friday, 23 October.

The series gives BINGE a new genre launch late in the month, alongside a collection of Halloween viewing and factual titles dealing with crime, mystery and the supernatural.

Returning television highlights

Animal Control season five begins on 28 September, with Joel McHale returning for weekly episodes of the workplace comedy.

Saturday Night Live season 52 also begins on 28 September. The opening episode is hosted by New York Knicks captain Jalen Brunson, with KATSEYE appearing as musical guest.

Below Deck season 13 premieres on 13 October. Captain Kerry Titheradge takes the crew of motor yacht Azul V to Phuket for another season of demanding charters and crew drama.

Nigella Lawson joins The Great British Bake Off

The Great British Bake Off season 17 premieres on 20 October, with weekly episodes. Nigella Lawson joins Paul Hollywood on the judging panel, while Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding return as hosts.

Lawson’s arrival is the headline change for the long-running baking competition and gives the new season a fresh dynamic without changing its familiar weekly format.
