Prime Video is preparing a packed October 2026 lineup for Canadian subscribers, combining major film and television premieres with an expanding slate of live sports programming.
The month’s schedule includes Mike Flanagan’s new adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, thriller Kill Jackie, post-apocalyptic sequel Apocalypse Z: New World, and several films arriving after appearances at the Toronto International Film Festival. Prime Video will also strengthen its sports offering in Canada with NHL and NBA coverage during the month.
October Lineup Opens With ‘Kill Jackie’ and ‘Red Queen’
The October schedule begins Oct. 2 with Kill Jackie, an action thriller centred on Jackie Price, a wealthy former international drug smuggler who has spent two decades attempting to remain anonymous.
Her past catches up with her when a group of assassins known as The Seven Demons is hired to kill her, forcing Jackie to revive skills from her former life while attempting to discover who ordered the attack.
Red Queen Season 2 also arrives Oct. 2. The Madrid-set thriller follows Antonia Scott, whose exceptional intelligence led her into a secret experimental police project, and police officer Jon Gutiérrez.
On Oct. 5, Prime Video adds Tuner, the first narrative feature from Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher. Leo Woodall plays a talented piano tuner whose extraordinary hearing attracts criminals interested in using his abilities to open safes. Survival thriller The Bay arrives the same day.
‘Carrie’ Follows TIFF World Premiere
One of Prime Video’s major October releases arrives Oct. 7 with Carrie, Mike Flanagan’s reimagining of Stephen King’s story.
The new adaptation places Carrie White in a contemporary high-school environment where she faces bullying, social-media pressure and the emergence of telekinetic abilities. The project follows its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, giving the title an additional Canadian connection ahead of its streaming debut.
The Death of Robin Hood follows Oct. 9, depicting the legendary outlaw confronting his violent past after suffering serious injuries in battle.
Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day arrives Oct. 10. Directed by Spielberg from a screenplay by David Koepp, the film features Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo in a story built around humanity confronting evidence that it is not alone.
Series and Films Fill Out Second Half of October
Prime Video’s mid-month programming includes Helluva Boss Season 3 on Oct. 14 and Hayley Kiyoko’s Girls Like Girls on Oct. 17.
Love in Disguise follows Oct. 19. Based on the web novel Why Don’t You Know It’s a Girl?, which has accumulated more than 8.15 million views on Kakao Webtoon, the series follows former special forces officer and police detective Kang Jae-hee as she goes undercover to investigate conglomerate heir Yoon Yi-jun.
Horror film Leviticus debuts Oct. 20, followed by The Terminal List Season 2 on Oct. 21. The latter draws from Jack Carr’s novel True Believer and expands the story of James Reece into an international espionage thriller spanning Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Indian Ocean.
Other scheduled titles include I Love Boosters, Tony, Minions & Monsters, Love Of Your Life and Apocalypse Z: New World.
Prime Video Expands Canadian Live Sports Offering
Sports will also play a larger role in Prime Video’s October programming.
NHL coverage continues through weekly Wednesday Night Hockey, giving Canadian viewers another destination for regular-season games as the 2026-27 campaign gets underway.
Prime Video is also scheduled to launch NBA on Prime coverage in Canada beginning Oct. 23. The arrival adds professional basketball to a growing live-sports portfolio and comes as the new NBA season begins.
The National Women’s Soccer League will remain part of the schedule as well, with the NWSL regular season entering its closing stages during October.
Prime Video Builds Broad Fall Entertainment Schedule
The October slate reflects Prime Video’s strategy of combining original films and series, established franchises, festival titles and live sports within a single subscription platform.
For Canadian audiences, the schedule carries particular relevance through titles emerging from TIFF alongside expanded access to NHL and NBA programming. With horror releases positioned around the Halloween season and several high-profile films and series spread throughout the month, October is set to be one of Prime Video Canada’s busiest programming periods of the fall.
