Searches such as “october 2023 releases,” “new releases october 2023” and “new music october” concern a different year or entertainment category; this roundup covers the October 2026 movie releases listed above.
Lou Ferrigno: Masters of the Universe brings Eternia home
The 2026 Masters of the Universe stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and Jared Leto as Skeletor. Its story follows Prince Adam’s return to Eternia, where he must confront Skeletor and fight for his home with the Sword of Power. Teela and Man-At-Arms join the adventure.
For buyers, the important distinction is the film’s year: this release is the new live-action adaptation, rather than the 1987 movie. The October 20 lineup includes standard Blu-ray and DVD options as well as 4K Ultra HD, giving collectors several physical editions to choose from.
One Night Only follows its digital debut with discs
Universal’s One Night Only, directed by Will Gluck, stars Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner as Allie and Owen. The romantic comedy takes place in an alternate New York City where single people are permitted to have sex only one night each year. Its central pair are looking for a genuine connection amid that unusual annual event.
The disc release follows the film’s September digital launch. Earlier announcement materials listed October 6, but updated listings moved the physical editions to October 20, 2026. Bonus material includes cast-focused and behind-the-scenes featurettes.
Lou Ferrigno: By Any Means opens its digital window
Directed by Elegance Bratton, By Any Means stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a Black FBI agent investigating killings targeting civil rights leaders in 1960s Mississippi. Mark Wahlberg plays mafia hitman Greg Scarpa, whom the agent must work alongside. Paramount identifies the thriller as inspired by a true story.
Its October 20 digital arrival precedes the announced December 15 Blu-ray and DVD release, giving viewers an earlier home-viewing option before those discs arrive.
