Netflix Australia 26 Oct–1 Nov 2026: Matthew Perry and Minimum Wage – Netflix Australia’s 26 October to 1 November line-up brings a new Matthew Perry documentary series, the teen workplace comedy Minimum Wage, a substantial Conjuring horror collection and a live darts challenge into one busy week.

The mix gives Australian viewers several ways into the week: new series early on, six linked horror films in time for Halloween, and a Sunday film refresh spanning family animation, fantasy and a true-crime drama. The dates below reflect Netflix’s Australian programming advice; this is a selection of highlights, not a claim to list every catalogue addition.

Monday 26 October: Minimum Wage

Minimum Wage follows a group of teenagers tasked with keeping their local pizzeria running while navigating school and a manic boss. The series expands on social-media shorts and features Aidan Micho, Grace Reiter, Hyde Healy, Julia Dicesare, Luke Burke, Ryan Micho, Tommy Armstrong and Randall Park. For viewers after something lighter amid the week’s thrillers and horror, it is the first new series on this line-up.

Tuesday 27 October: The One About Matthew Perry

The One About Matthew Perry examines the life of the Friends star through the perspective of people close to him. The documentary series covers his rise to Hollywood fame, his struggles with addiction and his death. It promises a more personal account than a simple career retrospective, with his inner circle central to the telling.

Wednesday 28 October: The Conjuring and Annabelle films

Halloween viewing gets a sizeable franchise package on Wednesday. Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation and Annabelle Comes Home arrive alongside The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2 and The Nun. That makes it possible to move between the haunted-doll story and the wider supernatural universe without waiting for the films to be added separately.

The original Annabelle centres on a couple terrorised by a vintage porcelain doll. Annabelle: Creation moves to a dollmaker and his wife, whose decision to welcome orphaned girls into their home sets the stage for another encounter with the doll. Annabelle Comes Home is the third film in the spin-off series. The two main Conjuring features and The Nun round out the six-film arrival.

Friday 30 October: Collision Course and Dead-End Job

Spanish thriller Collision Course follows the fallout from a bank robbery and getaway crash as secrets and betrayals come to light among the thieves. Daniel Sánchez Arévalo directs, with a cast including Laia Costa, Karra Elejalde, Luis Zahera, Tamar Novas, Álvaro Cervantes and Lluís Homar.

Also arriving Friday is Korean horror series Dead-End Job. Its debt-ridden young protagonist accepts unusually lucrative part-time work from a mysterious agency, only to discover that the job comes with more than he bargained for. Lee Jae-wook, Ko Min-si, Kim Min-ha and Lee Hee-jun lead the cast. Together, the two titles take the week from supernatural franchise films into newer international suspense.

Saturday 31 October: Beat Luke Littler live

Beat Luke Littler streams live at 6.00am AEDT on Saturday 31 October. Twenty amateur players each face world number one Luke Littler in a one-leg darts challenge, with a £501,000 prize at stake. The early Australian start time is important: this is a live event, rather than a Saturday-evening programme in local time.

Sunday 1 November: Dead Man’s Wire, Sing and The Hobbit

Dead Man’s Wire is a crime thriller based on a true hostage case. The ensemble includes Bill Skarsgård, Australian actor Dacre Montgomery, Cary Elwes, Myha’la, Colman Domingo, Al Pacino, John Robinson and Kelly Lynch. Its inclusion gives the November 1 additions a very different tone from the week’s family titles.

For younger viewers and musical-animation fans, Sing and Sing 2 join Netflix together. The voice ensembles include Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson, with the films following a theatrical song contest and its expanding ambitions.

Fantasy fans can also revisit all three Hobbit films from Sunday: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Martin Freeman plays Bilbo Baggins and Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf across the trilogy.

WWE continues through the week

Netflix’s regular live WWE line-up continues alongside those new arrivals. Raw is listed for Tuesday at noon AEDT, NXT for Wednesday at noon AEDT and SmackDown for Saturday at noon AEDT. Viewers following the weekly shows therefore have three scheduled live sessions as well as the new films, series and darts special.
