Movistar Plus has confirmed a wave of new film premieres for October. The lineup includes major cinema hits and direct-to-platform debuts. Several titles are timed for Halloween, expanding the streaming offer for Spanish viewers.
Movistar Plus has released its October film schedule, mixing recent box office hits with direct-to-platform exclusives. The platform has already made its lineup public, with more titles likely to be added as the month goes on.
One of the main arrivals is the action thriller Cleaner: Rescate vertical, available from 2 October after its earlier run in cinemas. The cast includes Daisy Ridley, Clive Owen, and Taz Skylar, who recently gained attention for his role in the live-action One Piece series. According to ADSLZone, Cleaner: Rescate vertical premiered in Spanish cinemas on 6 March 2026 before moving to streaming, showing Movistar Plus's approach of bringing recent theatrical releases to its platform soon after their cinema window.
The fantasy film I, Object is a direct-to-platform exclusive for Movistar Plus+, bypassing cinemas entirely and debuting online for Spanish audiences.
For Halloween, Movistar Plus is focusing on horror. Whistle: El silbido del mal, starring Dafne Keen and Nick Frost, premieres on 21 October and is a highlight of the month's horror selection. The platform is anchoring October with genre films that fit the season, while also offering action, fantasy, and drama. As ADSLZone notes, the October lineup combines exclusive releases with post-theatrical premieres, giving subscribers a varied selection.
Direct-to-platform exclusives are a key part of the schedule. I, Object, a fantasy film with Ethan Hawke, Karl Urban, and Anna Faris, skips cinemas and debuts on Movistar Plus on 11 October. The story follows a ten-year-old boy dealing with loss through imagination. This is a rare first-run exclusive for Spanish audiences and highlights Movistar Plus's effort to offer content not available elsewhere.
Other notable releases include Línea de extinción, a post-apocalyptic thriller with Anthony Mackie and Morena Baccarin, arriving on 8 October, and Outcome, the Apple TV film starring Keanu Reeves, available to Movistar Plus subscribers from 12 October. Outcome's inclusion points to ongoing collaboration between Movistar Plus and Apple TV, making previously exclusive content more widely accessible. Independent listings confirm Outcome's addition, though there has been no separate official press release for this title.
Movistar Plus+ is also launching the original crime drama series El Castillo on 8 October, with its premiere timed to coincide with the San Sebastián Film Festival. This reflects the platform's broader strategy of aligning major releases with seasonal and festival windows to maximize audience engagement.

Movistar Plus may add more films on 3, 10, 17, 23, and 24 October, keeping its programming flexible. As ADSLZone points out, this approach means new premieres are spread throughout the month, not just clustered around a few big titles.
All films will be available on both the fiber TV service and the OTT platform, accessible to subscribers of the Plan Libre Cine y Series or the Deportes package. This ensures both traditional and streaming viewers can watch the premieres without restrictions.
Movistar Plus’s October schedule is not just about quantity. The platform is focusing on films with proven box office appeal, along with select exclusives that have not appeared in Spanish cinemas. Except for I, Object, every announced title has already had a theatrical release, showing Movistar Plus’s focus on ambitious, high-quality productions for a broad audience.
In Spain’s competitive streaming market, this programming move positions Movistar Plus as a strong curator of international hits and unique debuts. The timing around Halloween, the presence of well-known actors, and the push for direct-to-platform exclusives all show a clear effort to keep and attract subscribers. For viewers, October on Movistar Plus means more choice, variety, and quick access to new films.
