Lazarus, Hedda and eight other binge-worthy titles coming to Prime Video in October 2025
1) Play Dirty: October 1, 2025
This October 2025 release stars Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield in the lead. Directed by Shane Black, it is based on Donald E. Westlake's book series. Wahlberg and Stanfield play Parker and Grofield, two highly skilled professional thieves. With the help of some other associates, they set their sights on a sunken treasure that is worth a billion dollars.
From the looks of the trailer, this October 2025 thriller seems to have its fill of clever characters, elaborate action scenes and funny gags. While it is not easy to bring popular fictional characters to life on screen, Wahlberg, with his years of experience, seems to be doing a good job of personifying Parker without straying too far from the author’s original vision.
And if the chemistry between Wahlberg and Stanfield in the trailer is just a sampler for what's about to come, viewers have enough reasons to get excited.

The tall and strong Sae stood out to Kōki, who used to be small and weak when they were kids. Kōki eventually grows up to become a tall and popular high schooler. When they cross paths again, it seems likely that their childhood friendship will evolve into something more.

Tessa Thompson plays newlywed Hedda Gabler. She convinces her husband, Tom Bateman's George, to throw a lavish party to escape the monotony of married life. Hedda uses the opportunity to amuse herself by playing mind games with her guests.
