Five October releases to add to your list
Carrie — Prime Video, October 7
If you’re in the mood for: a horror series with a Stephen King connection. About Amazon says this is the first television-series adaptation of King’s novel. The new version follows Carrie White through high school bullying and the emergence of her telekinetic powers. It may appeal to viewers who want a serialized take on the story or are curious about how the novel is adapted for television. See About Amazon’s October Prime Video schedule.
Matchbox: The Movie — Apple TV, October 9
If you’re in the mood for: an action feature. CinemaBlend’s October streaming guide lists the film, starring John Cena, for Apple TV on October 9. The cited schedule is an editorial guide rather than an official Apple release listing, so check Apple TV for the current date and title details. Check CinemaBlend’s updated streaming guide.

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger — Hulu and Disney+, October 9
If you’re in the mood for: a music documentary. The Associated Press reports that the documentary chronicles Oasis’s 2025 reunion tour and lists it for Hulu and Disney+ on October 9. It’s a natural pick for fans of the band, the reunion or the culture around devoted music fandom. Read AP’s October streaming report.
Masterplan — Prime Video, October 16
If you’re in the mood for: a comic heist story. About Amazon describes Stanley Tucci as a legendary thief who recruits two young specialists to steal the Mona Lisa, then reveals that the recruits are his children.
