Prime Video is lining up a very mixed bag for October 2025: pulpy crime, a rom-com with a messy twist, the finale of a wildly popular Spanish romance trilogy, and a prestige play adaptation for dessert. Plus two documentaries right in the middle of the month. Basically, there is something new almost every week.

Play Dirty (Oct 1)
Adapted from Donald E. Westlake's Parker books, this one puts Mark Wahlberg in the Parker role with LaKeith Stanfield as Grofield. The two are lifelong criminals who find themselves wading into the deep end: a South American dictator on one side and the world's richest man on the other. Shane Black directs, which is exactly the kind of pairing that makes you perk up if you like your crime stories sharp and pulpy. Keegan-Michael Key and Rosa Salazar are also in the mix.
Maintenance Required (Oct 8)
Rom-com time. Madelaine Petsch plays Charlie, a mechanic who runs an all-women shop that suddenly gets kneecapped by a corporate rival opening right next door. Reeling, she vents to a mysterious online confidant who seems to get her... until she discovers that person is actually the new rival owner. Jacob Scipio co-stars. Yes, that is a meet-cute with a landmine under it.
Our Fault (Oct 16)
The Culpa trilogy hits its final chapter. Based on Mercedes Ron's novels, the series started with My Fault in 2023 and continued with Your Fault in 2024. This last entry reunites Noah (Nicole Wallace) and Nick (Gabriel Guevara) after their breakup. They are both chasing their own goals, but the big question is whether they find their way back to each other. Director Domingo Gonzalez, who steered the first two films, returns to close it out.
Hedda (Oct 29)
Nia DaCosta takes on Henrik Ibsen's classic Hedda Gabler, moving the story to 1950s England. Tessa Thompson plays Hedda, a woman boxed in by social expectations and a marriage that is all duty, no spark. When she throws an event to help her husband's career, her former lover turns up, and the whole situation starts to smolder. Prestige drama in late October? Bold and a little spicy.
Also landing mid-month: documentaries
Two non-fiction titles are slotted between the scripted releases: Saquon on Oct 9 and John Candy: I Like Me on Oct 10.
If you are scrolling Prime Video this October, you are covered most weekends. Variety is the play here, and for once, the calendar actually follows through.
