New to Prime Video in October

September 25, 2025 0 Comments

October is a blockbuster month on Prime Video, with live streaming of NBA basketball and the entire James Bond catalogue (except Never Say Never Again) in 4K-UHD.

A number of other movie franchises also can be streamed from October 1, from Ghoulies and Barbershop to Hotel Transylvania and The Mummy (1999), as well as an acclaimed documentary about comedian John Candy.

There’s also a slew of original movies and TV series, including the Mark Wahlberg thriller Play Dirty and Harlan Coben’s Lazarus.

Based on an original story idea, and written by Coben and BAFTA-winner Danny Brocklehurst, the latter follows Joel Lazarus (Sam Claflin) as he returns home after his father Dr. Jonathan Lazarus (Bill Nighy) dies by suicide.

Disturbing experiences that can’t be explained lead to his entanglement in a series of cold-case murders as he grapples with the mystery of his father’s death and his sister’s murder 25 years ago.

In writer/director Nia DaCosta’s provocative, modern reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play, Hedda, Tessa Thompson’s heroine finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life.

Over the course of one charged night, long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt — pulling her and everyone around her into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal.

Imogen Poots, Tom Bateman, Nicholas Pinnock and Nina Hoss co-star (view the trailer here).

Stolen Girl stars Kate Beckinsale as an American who spends more than 10 years tracking down her daughter after she was abducted and taken to the Middle East by the child’s father. (View the trailer here.)

In Maintenance Required, the fiercely independent owner of an all-female mechanic shop has to reevaluate her future when a flashy corporate competitor moves in across the street.

Seeking comfort, she turns to an anonymous online confidant – unaware she’s confiding in the very rival threatening her business. (View the trailer here.)

John Candy: I Like Me explores the troubled life of the Canadian comedic icon through never-before-seen home videos, intimate access to his family, and candid recollections from collaborators.

“Although a somewhat conventional portrait, the film works best as a lament for a talented actor who struggled to reach his full potential before passing away far too young,” said Screen International.

Colin Hanks directs (view the trailer here).

As of this month, basketball fans can live stream 66 regular-season NBA games, including the Emirates NBA Cup and the NBA Playoffs, as well as regular and post-season WNBA games beginning in 2026.

They can also subscribe to an add-on NBA League Pass for packages starting from just $21.99/month AUD.

The season opens with a double-header: Boston Celtics v New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves v Los Angeles Lakers.
