Popular AMC Series ‘Parish’ and ‘NOS4A2’ arrive on Netflix in October
Popular AMC productions, brainstormed by the minds of Giancarlo Esposito in ‘Parish’ and Zachary Quinto starring in ‘NOS4A2’, are set to hit Netflix in the United States this October. These anticipated series join the October 2025 lineup on the popular streaming platform. This noteworthy occurrence comes as a result of a broadened liaison between Netflix and AMC on American soil.
The association between the television channel and streaming behemoth initiated in August 2024, where numerous AMC shows were licensed to Netflix’s vast catalogue for a single-year duration. Several of these additions were removed in August the following year; however, a select few had their stay on the platform prolonged.
As part of a subsequent expansion move in September, AMC extended its affiliation with Netflix. This strategic move brings exciting new titles to Netflix for a brief time while simultaneously refreshing already present titles with new content. However, this expansion applies exclusively to the United States and doesn’t influence the availability of these shows on AMC+.
Scheduled for a Netflix debut on October 24 is the first season of ‘Parish,’ a riveting crime drama mini-series that originally aired on AMC in 2024. The narrative arc of the series revolves around Gray Parish, a decent family man and chauffeur in New Orleans, who finds his world disintegrating in the wake of a personal tragedy.
In ‘Parish’, Giancarlo Esposito leads as Gray Parish, whose life takes a dark turn following a tragedy, which compels him to revert to his criminal roots. His entanglements with a perilous crime syndicate from Zimbabwe push him into a world fraught with danger and moral compromise. Notable figures sharing screen space with Esposito include Zackary Momoh as The Horse, Paula Malcomson as Ros, Skeet Ulrich as Colin, Bonnie Mbuli as Shamiso, and Bradley Whitford as Anton.
The mini-series, structured across six compelling episodes, scrupulously illustrates Parish’s regression into the underworld to protect his family. This tumultuous journey pins him against the harsh realities of loyalty, aggression, and treachery. Unfortunately, the promising drama has not been greenlit for a subsequent season. Currently, US viewers can access the show on AMC and AMC+.
Later in the Halloween month, precisely October 29, fans can expect the long-awaited first and second seasons of ‘NOS4A2.’ This supernatural horror series is a Netflix debutante that pulls its concept from Joe Hill’s 2013 novel. The series enjoyed a successful two-season run on AMC from 2019 to 2020.
The title ‘NOS4A2’ is a clever reconfiguration of the term Nosferatu. This choice epitomizes the essence of the series, spinning a nightmare-laden yarn about an immortal soul-harvesting entity. The story trails a gifted artist, Vic McQueen, who portrays a unique ability to locate missing entities, leading to a fateful encounter with the monstrous Charlie Manx.
Manx, portrayed by Zachary Quinto, is a sinister creature who seizes his victims and traps them in a horrific world he calls Christmasland. Among the supporting cast are Ashleigh Cummings as Vic McQueen, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Bing Partridge, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Chris McQueen, Virginia Kull as Linda McQueen, and Jahkara Smith as Maggie Leigh.
Despite its unique premise and gripping plot, ‘NOS4A2’ was unfortunately discontinued after its second season. However, the spine-chilling series retains its charm and continues to be a part of viewer’s Halloween watchlist.
This strategic move in programming by AMC reciprocates the growing demand for diverse, engaging content on Netflix. It also emphasizes the cordial relationship between AMC and Netflix, showcasing the streaming platform’s commitment to offer a mixture of different genres to cater to their wide-ranging viewer base.
It’s important to note that these additions to Netflix’s extensive roster are limited to audiences in the United States. In other regions, accessibility may vary, and it’s recommended that viewers review their respective regional settings and availability on AMC+.
In conclusion, eager Netflix users in the US have much to look forward to this Halloween season with riveting dramas like ‘Parish’ and hair-raising horror series like ‘NOS4A2.’ This union of AMC and Netflix injects new life into series that may have otherwise simmered away, providing audiences with fresh opportunities for thrilling binge-watching sessions.
