This October, streaming service Showmax, has various international TV shows that you can watch on the platform. They include: 1st seasons of 1923, Rain Dogs, The Rookie: Feds, Six Four, American Auto; new Chucky, Son of a Critch among others.

Some of the International TV shows that are available on Showmax this October are below;

CHUCKY S3| First on Showmax | 2 episodes on Mondays from 23 October

Chucky is headed for the White House in the third season of the cult horror franchise. It’s up to Jake, Devon, and Lexy to figure out how to stop Chucky when he’s cosied up to America’s First Family, in the most secure house in the US.

Alyvia Alyn Lind, Zackary Arthur and Björgvin Arnarson are back as Lexy, Jake and Devon, as is Oscar nominee Jennifer Tilly as Chucky’s ex and now sworn enemy, Tiffany, who’s facing a looming crisis of her own this season as the police close in on her.

1923 S1 | Binge from 16 October

The Yellowstone prequel 1923 stars Oscar winner Helen Mirren (The Queen) and Oscar nominee Harrison Ford (aka Indiana Jones) as Cara and Jacob Dutton, who head a new generation of the Dutton family in Montana during the time of western expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression.

Continuing the saga from Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan’s first Yellowstone prequel 1883, 1923 was conceived as a two-season series.

1923 was partly shot in Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania, so look out for SAFTA winner Nick Boraine (The Mating Game) as safari operator Richard Holland and Colin Moss (Warrior) as Tanganyika railroad construction supervisor Charles Hardin.

The international support cast includes the likes of the former James Bond, Timothy Dalton; BAFTA nominee Jerome Flynn (Bronn in Game of Thrones); and Robert Patrick (Peacemaker), while Isabel May reprises her 1883 role as Elsa Dutton to narrate.

RAIN DOGS S1 | Binge from 19 October

Rain Dogs stars double-BAFTA winner Daisy May Cooper (Avenue 5) as Costello Jones, a devoted mother who wants more for her precocious young daughter, Iris (Fleur Tashjian).

As she hustles to survive, Costello leans on Selby (Jack Farthing from Poldark), Iris’ pseudo father and Costello’s pseudo soulmate, and Gloria (Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo from Alex Rider and Christopher Robin), the duo’s loyal yet chaotic godmother/best friend. Together they form a dysfunctional family on the fringes of society, trying to defy a system built against them to go straight in a crooked world.

THE ROOKIE: FEDS S1 | Binge from 23 October

Niecy Nash (Dahmer, When They See Us) stars in The Rookie: Feds as Special Agent Simone Clark, the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy, who is assigned to support the Los Angeles field office.

A spin-off from Showmax favourite The Rookie, Feds was nominated as Outstanding New TV Series at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards and has an 86% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Look out for Felix Solis (Ozark), Frankie Faison (The Wire), Kevin Zegers (Transamerica) and Britt Robertson (Tomorrowland), and James Lesure (Good Girls).

SON OF A CRITCH S2 | Binge from 11 October

In Season 2 of Son of a Critch, a new school year brings new challenges for 1980s junior high-schooler Mark Critch, including his first fight, first beer, and even his first pair of jeans. But the bigger Mark’s world gets, the more complicated things become.

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (who voiced Zemeckis’ Pinocchio and stars opposite Bryan Cranston in the upcoming Everything’s Going to Be Great) stars as the young Mark, with Hollywood Walk-of-Famer Malcolm McDowell (Bombshell, A Clockwork Orange) as his grandfather, and the real Mark Critch as his dad. An award-winning Canadian actor and writer, Critch co-writes the show (which is based on his memoir), with Writers Guild of America Award nominee Tim McAuliffe (The Last Man on Earth).

Son of a Critch has already been renewed for a third season. Common Sense Media gives the family friendly show 4/5-stars, recommending the show for ages 10+.

SIX FOUR S1 | Binge from 23 October

Based on the bestselling novel by award-winning Japanese mystery writer Hideo Yokoyama, Six Four follows Glasgow police detective Chris and his wife, former undercover officer Michelle, who discover that the disappearance of their teenage daughter may be connected to a cold case.

Kevin McKidd (Dr Owen Hunt in Grey’s Anatomy and Tommy in the original Trainspotting) and Vinette Robinson star alongside the likes of Richard Coyle (Aberforth in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, and Father Faustus Blackwood in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina).

AMERICAN AUTO S1 | Binge from 2 October

From Justin Spitzer (the creator of Superstore and producer of The Office), American Auto is set at the Detroit offices of Payne Motors, where the floundering corporate execs are at a crossroads: adapt to the changing times or be sent to the junkyard. Luckily, they have a bold new CEO, whose leadership, experience, and savvy are only slightly offset by her total lack of knowledge about cars.

The hilarious ensemble cast includes Ana Gasteyer (Saturday Night Live), Jon Barinholtz (Superstore’s Marcus), Harriet Dyer (Ashley in Colin From Accounts, Emily in The Invisible Man), and X Mayo.
