We’re sure the folks at Amazon want everyone talking about the new season of The Rings of Power and yet we’re far more intrigued with the upcoming Office reboot. It takes place right here in Australia and stars Felicity Ward as the managing director of a fledgling packaging company. We’ll reserve judgment until we watch a few episodes, but suffice it to say, she has some fairly major shoes to fill. You can catch that series and other brand-new releases this October. Here’s everything coming your way on Amazon Prime Video.

Best New Series on Amazon Prime Video
When it comes to series, Prime Video has something for everyone this October. That includes new seasons of fan favourites and at least one series premiere. Here are the best new series on Prime Video for this month.
The Office Australia
Release Date: 18 October 2024
Australian packaging company Flinley Craddick is on the brink of going under in this brand-new iteration of The Office. Determined to keep her work family together, managing director Hannah Howard (Felicity Ward) enacts a variety of hilarious schemes. Both the original British series and its American counterpart are still in heavy rotation so the bar is pretty freaking high for this latest adaptation. Tune in to see if it can deliver the comedy goods!
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2
Release Date: 18 October 2024
The second season of this expensive fantasy series expands upon the world of Middle Earth and the eccentric characters therein. Darkness is rising and disaster lurks as we bear continuing witness to the fight between good and evil. All the fans out there can let us know if it’s worth a watch because we stopped caring about Lord of the Rings around the time of the first Hobbit prequel.
Citadel Diana
Release Date: 10 October 2024
The action series Citadel wasn’t exactly a critical darling but that didn’t stop legions of people from watching it. You can thank those very same viewers for this futuristic spin-off, which takes place in Milan (circa 2030) and follows the adventures of undercover agent Diana Cavalieri (Matilda De Angelis). Operating as a mole inside rival spy agency Manticore, Cavalieri must put her trust in unexpected allies if she wants to make it out alive.
The Legend of Vox Machina
Release Date: 3 October 2024
Rooted in Dungeons & Dragons lore, this acclaimed animated series was brought to life after a successful crowdfunding campaign. It takes us into the fantasy world of Exandria and centres around the adventure team Vox Machina. In season 3, the team squares off against powerful dragons and other destructive forces, with the fate of Exandria hanging in the balance.
Best New Movies on Prime Video
If you didn’t catch movies like Challengers in theatres, you’ll have the chance to stream them on Prime Video this October. A number of other titles will also be available to rent or buy. Here are the highlights.
Challengers
Release Date: 1 October 2024
Romantic tension and athletic rivalry make for a winning formula in this recent dramedy from director Luca Guadagnino. Actors Mike Faist, Josh O’Connor, and Zendaya bring their A-game to the story, which chronicles the ongoing conflict between two tennis pros (Faist and O’Connor) and a former prodigy (Zendaya). Come for the interpersonal drama and top-notch performances, stay for the thrilling tennis sequences.
Canary Black
Release Date: 24 October 2024
From the director of beloved action flicks like Taken and District B13 comes this international spy thriller. Kate Beckinsale plays CIA Agent Avery Graves, whose husband is kidnapped by terrorists. If she wants him back alive, she must betray her own government by providing the terrorists with confidential information. Decisions, decisions…
House of Spoils
Release Date: 3 October 2024
We’re suckers for culinary-themed movies but not necessarily prepared for this one, which injects a supernatural twist. It tells the story of a talented chef (Ariana DeBose), who opens her first restaurant and grapples with a slew of dilemmas. As if the kitchen chaos and cloying investor weren’t bad enough, there’s a spirit haunting the property that’s determined to see her fail. It sounds to us like the stuff of comedy but the filmmakers appear to be playing it straight. We’ll wait to see the general reaction before giving this one a go.
Afraid
Release Date: Available to rent or buy in October 2024
Given the current technological climate—and the success of 2022’s M3gan—this new Blumhouse thriller seems more or less inevitable. It introduces a loving family to an experimental smart assistant known as AIA, which takes its responsibilities to dangerous extremes. Okay, this sounds a bit too much like M3gan so here’s hoping it offers a few unexpected twists.
Speak No Evil
Release Date: Available to rent or buy in October 2024
This recent American thriller has apparently pulled off the impossible feat of justifying its existence. A patriarch (James McAvoy) and his clan invite another family over for a relaxing weekend, only to reveal their sinister intentions. We’re still recovering from the Danish original so we’ll catch this adaptation after a few more therapy sessions!
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Release Date: Available to rent or buy in October 2024
The 36 years it took to deliver this comedy sequel might seem like a long time to the living. To the dead? Not so much. Featuring both original cast members and fresh faces, the story brings the Deetz family back to the sleepy town of Winter River. A grown-up Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) is still getting over Beetlejuice when her rebellious teen daughter (Jenna Ortega) kicks open a portal to the afterlife. He’s back, baby!
Bad Boys For Life
Release Date: 15 October 2024
The third Bad Boys movie pits Miami detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) against a pair of ruthless cartel kingpins. Bullets and zingers fly at a breakneck pace but what else were you expecting?
Best New Documentaries and Events on Prime Video
