Amazon published the Prime Video slate for October 2026 on September 30, and the month is carried by Japanese film. The Exit 8, the live-action adaptation of KOTAKE CREATE's 2023 anomaly-spotting game, starts unlimited streaming on October 2 with a reported domestic box office of 5.17 billion yen. Sakamoto Days, the live-action film of Yuto Suzuki's manga starring Ren Meguro and directed by Yuichi Fukuda, arrives October 30. The Apothecary Diaries season 3 begins October 3, and Dragon Ball Super Beerus streams from October 12. Maronie Kingdom's Seven Knights, an adaptation of Nao Iwamoto's fantasy manga, is set for October 4. Anime titles include Aoashi, Blue Exorcist season 2, and A Sign of Affection season 2. The overseas film section carries all 25 James Bond films, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Minecraft: The Movie, which began streaming October 1.
Amazon announced the October 2026 Prime Video additions on September 30, and the lineup runs well past the handful of titles in the headline. The Japanese film section alone covers a dozen entries, among them Spy no Tsuma, Hitoyo, and Lost Care on October 1, and the mystery film Agito on October 28. The overseas film catalog is the heaviest block, led by the complete James Bond run from Dr. No through No Time to Die, all three Annabelle films, the Conjuring series, and the extended Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies.
Television is where the slate spreads out. Japanese drama additions include the Asadora Anpan special edition, Ryomaden, Saigo-don, Tokyo Tarareba Musume, and Doctor Price, while Korean drama includes Autumn in My Heart, A-TEEN and A-TEEN 2, and My Name is Kim Sam-soon. On the Original side, Prime Video lists Carrie, a series adaptation of the Stephen King novel from Mike Flanagan, Terminal List season 2, and the Mexican series Prefiero La Muerte.
