The following is a U.S.-oriented guide to Amazon’s announced October 2025 schedule. Dates describe the planned Prime Video release or addition listed by Amazon, but catalog availability can change.

October 5
The Boogeyman is listed among the later film additions. It is a horror title suited to viewers looking for a darker October watch. Check the current Prime Video listing for its maturity rating and availability mode.
October 8
Maintenance Required
This romantic comedy follows Charlie, the independent owner of an all-female mechanic shop. Her future becomes more complicated when a corporate competitor opens nearby. It is the month’s relationship-focused option for viewers who prefer a workplace or small-business conflict wrapped in a comedy.
October 9
Saquon
This feature documentary follows Saquon Barkley’s route to Super Bowl success with the Philadelphia Eagles. Amazon’s description also points to the obstacles surrounding his career, including injury and contract challenges. Sports-documentary viewers can pair it with October’s live football schedule, although the film and the games are separate offerings.
October 10
John Candy: I Like Me
Directed by Colin Hanks and produced by Ryan Reynolds, this documentary looks at John Candy through archival material and interviews with people who knew him. It is the clearest October choice for viewers interested in comedy history, celebrity profiles and behind-the-scenes accounts of a performer’s career.

This British musical dramedy is also listed for October 10. TheWrap independently places the film on the same date in its release-calendar coverage.

Dracula Untold
Amazon’s later-additions list also includes Dracula Untold on October 16. As with the other catalog entries, the listing should be checked to determine whether it is included with Prime Video or available through a separate rental or purchase option.
October 17
The Chosen Adventures
This animated, family-oriented series follows Abby and Joshua in ancient Capernaum after they encounter Jesus of Nazareth and a talking sheep. Parents should check the current regional maturity information before choosing it for younger viewers.
Hollywood Hustler: Glitz, Glam, Scam
This three-part documentary exposé examines Zach Horwitz and a major financial fraud. Its limited-series format makes it a natural choice for viewers who prefer a focused true-crime or financial-crime story rather than a single feature-length film.
October 18
Companion
Companion is listed as an October 18 film addition. It belongs on the watchlist of viewers seeking a thriller, but the precise availability and current content information should be confirmed on Prime Video before publication or viewing.
October 22
Harlan Coben’s Lazarus

Amazon’s list also includes the horror film Host on October 23. Check the live listing for the current maturity rating and whether the film is included, rentable or available to buy.
October 24
- Migration: An animated family film listed among the October 24 additions.
- The Beast Within: A darker film addition for viewers looking for a horror or thriller selection.
Selected NBA games are also listed for October 24. Game availability, tip-off times and local presentation can change, so basketball viewers should use the current Prime Video sports schedule rather than relying only on the monthly announcement.

Hazbin Hotel Season 2
Vivienne Medrano’s adult animated series returns with a second season. It follows Charlie, the princess of Hell, as she tries to rehabilitate demons and reduce Hell’s overpopulation.

Hedda
Hedda is Nia DaCosta’s modern reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s play, starring Tessa Thompson as a woman caught between a past love and the pressures of her present life. It is the month’s most prominent literary adaptation and contemporary drama among the listed premieres.

How to watch
Prime Video is the relevant streaming service for this schedule, but the exact access method depends on the title and territory. Before assuming a film is included, open its current Prime Video page and look for whether it is part of the subscription catalog or instead requires a channel, rental or purchase. The October 2025 announcement is a historical release schedule; it does not guarantee that every listed title remains available now.
If you want a dedicated device for streaming this lineup, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is one option. You do not need a Fire TV device to use Prime Video; access depends on the compatible devices and apps you already own. Verify the current model, price, stock and local product page before buying.
If you do not currently have access, check the live Prime Video or Amazon Prime offer for your country. Pricing, eligibility and any trial offer can change, so this guide does not promise a free trial or a particular subscription price.
Important regional and availability note
This guide is for the United States. Prime Video release dates, included titles, sports rights, languages and maturity ratings can differ elsewhere. Even in the U.S., licensing can change after the monthly announcement. Use the current Prime Video listing as the final check, particularly for catalog films and titles identified as later additions rather than headline Amazon Originals.
