Amazon Prime Video is expanding its streaming lineup for October 2026 with a major slate of classic film franchises, new television adaptations, and original action thrillers. As the weather cools and viewers transition into the fall viewing season, the platform is rolling out an extensive selection of high-profile additions that cater to horror enthusiasts, action junkies, and prestige drama fans alike.
Beginning October 1, subscribers gain access to complete film series, including all four John Wick action features and twenty-five James Bond films following Amazon’s landmark franchise acquisition. Four Indiana Jones movies also join the catalog alongside iconic horror titles such as Candyman, Hereditary, and Midsommar, setting a spooky tone just in time for Halloween.
Headlining Original Series: Mike Flanagan’s Carrie and The Terminal List Season 2
Television releases kick off on October 7 with the debut of Carrie, an eight-episode miniseries written and directed by horror maestro Mike Flanagan. The show reimagines Stephen King’s foundational 1974 novel for Gen Z audiences, detailing the telekinetic awakening of high schooler Carrie White alongside her protective, overbearing mother, Margaret. The series incorporates contemporary elements like cyberbullying to make the classic narrative resonate with a younger generation.
Later in the month, military thriller fans can celebrate the long-awaited return of Chris Pratt in The Terminal List Season 2, launching on October 21. Based on Jack Carr’s second novel, True Believer, the new season shifts from a psychological revenge story into a globe-trotting espionage thriller. Navy SEAL Commander James Reece travels across the Indian Ocean, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe to untangle a conspiracy stretching from Moscow to Langley.
Animation and comedy fans also have plenty to look forward to, with Helluva Boss Season 3 Part 1 premiering on October 14, bringing seven episodes of dark, irreverent humor created by Vivienne Medrano.
