What’s Coming to Pluto TV in October 2022, Including ‘The Godfather’ Trilogy, ‘Hannibal’ Franchise, ‘Blair Witch Project’

Paramount’s free streaming service Pluto TV is making viewers an offer they can’t refuse: Streaming all three movies of the iconic “Godfather” saga. The story of the Corleone crime family has captivated moviegoers for decades. The first film, starring Marlon Brando, James Caan, Al Pacino, John Cazale, and Diane Keaton, remains an extraordinary cinematic experience.

Many of the lines have become part of the zeitgeist, such as: “Leave the gun, take the cannolis.” And the score is one of the most memorable and haunting.

“The Godfather, Part II,” which added Robert DeNiro to the stellar cast, is equally compelling, as it expands the story of Vito Corleone, while aligning criminal and political corruption in the U.S. While more maligned than the first two, “The Godfather, Part III” welcomed Andy Garcia and Bridget Fonda to the franchise and contains one of Hollywood’s most famous lines: “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”

Also coming to Pluto TV in October is the “Hannibal” franchise of films and TV series. Though not the first film to feature serial killer Hannibal Lecter, “The Silence of the Lambs” introduced Anthony Hopkins’ terrifying killer to a wider audience. The psychological horror film introduced FBI agent Clarise Starling (Jodie Foster) as a profiler trying to use Lecter’s evil tendencies to catch another killer.

The sequel, “Hannibal,” returns Hopkins to the role as his lone surviving victim is out to get him. Also included in Pluto’s October releases is the TV prequel series “Hannibal.” The show centers on the relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) before the latter’s cannibalistic tendencies were known.

In addition, the free streaming service is celebrating the spooky season with 31 Nights of Horror Movies, including films such as “The Blair Witch Project,” “The Evil Dead,” “The Grudge,” and more.

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free live TV streaming service that provides more than 350 channels of live TV and thousands of on demand movies and TV shows.

Most of what you’ll find on Pluto TV qualifies as “background television.” It’s fine to keep on while you’re scrolling on your phone or cooking something in the kitchen.

Because these aren’t traditional live TV channels, it’s not a great option for live events, news, or sports, but it’s a solid choice for cord cutters who want to supplement their other services with some “comfort food” TV. You’ll find channels dedicated to “Star Trek,” “CSI,” “Jersey Shore,” “Survivor,” and “The Amazing Race.”
