Prime Video

Prime Video's October 2026 catalog leans on Japanese titles, with The Exit 8 and Sakamoto Days listed for exclusive streaming and three TV anime additions. Separately, Dan Stevens is cast as the lead in the live-action RoboCop series, which has no release date yet.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 30

Prime Video published its October 2026 lineup on September 30, 2026. The catalog pairs two Japanese films with three continuing or new TV anime. The films are The Exit 8 on October 2 and Sakamoto Days on October 30, both listed for exclusive streaming. The TV anime additions are The Apothecary Diaries season 3 on October 3, The Seven Knights of Marronnier Kingdom on October 4, and Dragon Ball Super Bills on October 12.

A month earlier, on August 28, 2026, the service's live-action RoboCop series found its lead. Dan Stevens will star as Alex Murphy in the eight-episode drama. The show follows a fallen police officer revived as a cyborg by a tech conglomerate. James Wan executive produces. No release date has been announced.

The two stories describe different parts of Prime Video's pipeline. One is a dated catalog slate built around Japanese live-action and anime. The other is a Western live-action series still in casting. The October lineup carries release dates and an exclusive streaming label; the RoboCop series carries a cast, episode count, and producer credit but no date. Nothing in the stories links the two, and neither establishes when the RoboCop series will arrive.
