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

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 streaming service backed by Paramount that offers a traditional cable-like channel surfing experience. The service offers hundreds of free round-the-clock channels, including classics like “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “The Price is Right.”

…

Rather than attempting to carry expensive local broadcast affiliates or high-profile live sports leagues, the lineup leans heavily into curated thematic programming. You will find dedicated channels cycling non-stop episodes of many classic TV shows, alongside niche feeds for anime, true crime, classic sitcoms, and live headline news loops from outlets like CBS News. Alongside the live grid, there is also a hefty on-demand vault filled with older Hollywood catalog films, cult classics, and complete archived series.

Because Pluto TV mirrors linear broadcast television, you cannot pause or fast-forward through commercial breaks, nor is there a cloud DVR feature to record airings for later viewing. That said, it’s a great alternative for those looking for a wide range of channels without subscription fees.
