🎃 HELLO, OCTOBER! (Patreon)

October is officially here, and this month’s rotation could change a lot over the next few weeks. 👀

We’re heading into the month with SEVEN shows approaching the end of their seasons, a new round of recommendations and voting starting today, and another new show about to earn its way into the rotation.

Lanterns will keep its protected spot from September for just a little longer, but once October’s New Show Poll winner is selected, that show will take over the protected position and join the rotation.

And because it’s October, you already know we’re excited for all things spooky season around here. 🎃👻

Here’s where everything stands!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏆 OCTOBER’S CURRENT TOP 10

This is our priority rotation as we head into the month:

🥇 Lanterns 🛡️

🥈 Abbott Elementary

🥉 Taskmaster

4️⃣ The Pitt

5️⃣ Gravity Falls Season 2

6️⃣ X-Men '97

7️⃣ Shrinking

8️⃣ Criminal Minds

9️⃣ Paradise

🔟 Shameless

🛡️ Lanterns is temporarily holding the protected #1 position after winning September’s New Show Poll.

Once October’s New Show Poll winner is selected, that new show will take over the protected spot and receive priority placement in the rotation.

Everything else reflects your September Pulse Test votes!

And with another Pulse Test coming October 10, there’s plenty of opportunity for this ranking to move again.

📊 We’ll also share the full rankings for anyone who wants to see where everything currently stands outside the Top 10.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎬 SEVEN SHOWS ARE NEARING THE FINISH LINE!

Yep. SEVEN. 😂

We have a LOT getting close to the end right now.

These shows are currently outside the Top 10, but because they have fewer than five episodes remaining, we’ll continue working through them at a slower pace until they’re completed:

✅ Fallout Season 2 • 1 episode left

✅ One Piece Season 2 • 1 episode left

✅ The Rookie • 2 episodes left

✅ The Crown • 2 episodes left

✅ Doctor Who • 3 episodes left

✅ Veronica Mars • 3 episodes left

✅ The Handmaid’s Tale • 3 episodes left

And for the first time in a while, we currently have NO shows sitting in slower rotation with more than five episodes remaining.

That means there aren’t any shows immediately at risk of being removed from the active rotation going into this month’s Pulse Test.

But with seven seasons nearing completion, we could have a lot of space opening up very soon, which makes the next few rounds of voting especially interesting. 👀
