In short: Klara and the Sun is the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, written and directed by Taika Waititi, with Jenna Ortega as Klara, an Artificial Friend designed to keep a teenager company. It reaches cinemas on 22 October, according to Cinemex. It is a slow, intimate story about loneliness. My take: it wraps around you slowly and does not let go until the end, and Ortega is the best part of it.

In short: The fourth season of The Diplomat arrives complete on Netflix on 15 October, with eight episodes, according to Netflix Tudum. It picks up where it left off: Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) discovers that her husband, Hal, and President Grace Penn are involved in the theft of a Russian weapon. My take: it is not only politics, it is a drama about two marriages on the edge of collapse, and this season is more intense, twisted and thrilling than the earlier ones.

In short: Carrie is the new adaptation of Stephen King's novel that Mike Flanagan releases on Prime Video on 7 October, with all eight episodes available at once, according to EntertainmentNow. Summer H. Howell plays Carrie White. It has less horror than you might expect and, in exchange, a sharp social portrait of bullying in the social media age. My take: the wait was worth it.

In short: Toy Story 5, directed by Andrew Stanton, was released on 19 June 2026 and appears in the list of films showing in Panama. Woody, Buzz and Jessie face Lilypad, a tablet with ideas of its own, in a clash between handmade play and technology. Critics are mostly positive: Deadline celebrates it as a return to form for Pixar, and more nuanced reviews, such as Otros Cines's, see a somewhat repeated approach offset by prodigious animation and action and comedy scenes among the best in the saga.

Update, 16 October 2026: the concerts on 6 October (Apocalyptica), 11 October (Stratovarius) and 15 October (Greeicy) have already taken place. The table keeps those dates as a record; the rest are still ahead. In short: Between October 6 and December 26, 2026, Panama has at least 16 concerts with a verified date, venue and ticket seller. Estadio Rommel Fernández hosts two: the Mother's Day tribute show with Marc Anthony and Wisin (December 7) and Rawayana (December 10). Beéle plays Plaza Figali on November 27.

In short: Verity, directed by Michael Showalter and based on Colleen Hoover's novel, has been showing in Panama since 1 October, according to the Cinemark listings. It stars Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. International critics have received it coolly: Variety calls it a limp thriller and The Hollywood Reporter a dumb mystery, although Gold Derby notes that some critics see it as the best Hoover adaptation so far.

In short: Digger is Alejandro González Iñárritu's new film, with Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an oil magnate whose empire faces a global environmental disaster. It has been in Panama's cinemas since 1 October, according to the Cinemark listings. It is a strange, uncomfortable climate satire. My take: it is not a rounded film, but it takes a risk, and I prefer that to one that risks nothing.
