New Amazon Prime Video Shows and Movies (October 2023)

This Halloween, you can expect a granola bar or an onion when you go trick-or-treating at Amazon Prime Video's house, because the streaming service just doesn't seem big on spooky season this year. Unlike other streamers, there are barely any new horror movies or shows to watch on Prime Video, except for one: the time-traveling horror-comedy Totally Killer, starring Kiernan Shipka as a teen who goes back to 1987 to save her mom and her friends from a murderer. What's wrong, Jeff Bezos? Did someone egg your house because you passed out Mounds? Other highlights include the third season of Upload, and over on Freevee, Season 2 of Bosch: Legacy walks the beat.

Below, you'll find our picks for the best shows and movies to watch on Amazon Prime Video in October, as well as the full list of everything coming to Prime Video and Freevee, the free service that's accessible through Prime Video but doesn't require Prime membership.

The best new movies and shows on Prime Video in October

Totally Killer (Oct. 6, Prime Video)

October is the month when streaming services put out a bunch of horror films, and every year we all get excited for them only to be disappointed when the films end up being bad. It happens every time without fail, no matter how often we delude ourselves into thinking that maybe this is the year it will change. But (Tobias Funke voice) maybe this year will be different. This Blumhouse comedy-horror film stars Kiernan Shipka as Jamie, a teen who travels back in time to 1987 to stop a murderous rampage before it happens. And it actually looks kind of good! As a bonus, this one also stars the great Olivia Holt as Jamie's teenage mom. [Trailer]

Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe (Oct. 10, Prime Video)

I bleed red, white, and blue, so for me, there's no other classic children's program host like Fred Rogers, the creator of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. But for our maple syrup-sucking pals up north, there was Ernie Coombs and Mr. Dressup, which actually began its 30-year run in 1967, one year before Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Coombs was an understudy of Rogers, and his influence on Canadian children was every bit as profound as Rogers' effect in the States. This documentary film, which won the audience award for best documentary at the Toronto Film Festival, recounts Coombs' legacy, with plenty of Canadian celebs (multiple Kids in the Hall!) talking about his impact. [Trailer]

Upload Season 3 (Oct. 20, Prime Video)

Greg Daniels' sci-fi comedy about a man who gets sent to a digital afterlife returns for Season 3 with extra work for star Robbie Amell. With Nathan (Amell) downloaded back into the world of the living, a tech at Horizen notices Nathan missing and re-uploads a digital copy of him into the afterlife, meaning that his former beau Ingrid (Allegra Edwards) has another shot at him, while Nora (Andy Allo) ponders what two Nathans would be like (do you blame her?). This season is going to get complicated. [Trailer]

Bosch: Legacy Season 2 (Oct. 20, Freevee)

Get Bosched! The spin-off of the Prime Video series returns to the world of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), who has ditched his cop badge for a private investigator license. Once again, foe-turned-frenemy Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers) teams up with Bosch, and Bosch's daughter Maddie (Madison Lintz) starts doing her own Boschin' as a new police officer. Here's everything we know about Bosch: Legacy Season 2. [Trailer]
