Killer Cakes | 8 October
Love Is It Cake and Bake Off? Then you're sure to think Killer Cakes is to die for as Prime Video launches its own version of a spectacular baking contest.
Horror production company Blumhouse have teamed up with the creators of Cake Boss for this new contest that sees keen bakers work with Hollywood horror special effects artists to make some scarily good cakes like nothing you've seen before.
The Office (Australia) | 18 October
If you thought Ricky Gervais' original sitcom and the long-running US take on it were as much Office as you ever needed in your life, think again - the Australian version is here.
This time, the cringy boss is Hannah Howard, played by Felicity Ward who is the first woman ever to take on the iconic lead role. In this updated Aussie reboot, the office in question is being closed to shift all of its staff to work from home and managing director Hannah is making plenty of outlandish promises she has no hope of keeping.
Gervais' original sitcom launched on the BBC 23 years ago and this series marks the 13th version worldwide. It joins the likes of France, India and Poland, as well as the recently-announced South African take on the show.
The Devil's Hour season 2 | 18 October
No one does a brooding crime thriller quite like Peter Capaldi, and his Prime Video series The Devil's Hour returns for season two this month with more instalments to the mind-bending plot.
Playing with time yet again, season two is both a sequel and a prequel to the first run as Jessica Raine's character Lucy Chambers has to join forces with serial killer Gideon (Capaldi) in order to prevent a recurring tragedy, and hunt down an elusive monster.
Nautilus | 25 October
Inspired by Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, this new ten-part series tells the origin story of Captain Nemo: an Indian Prince robbed of his birthright and family, joining him as he steals a formidable prototype submarine and escapes into the Indian Ocean with a ragtag crew, determined to enact revenge against the ruthless East India Mercantile Company. Starring Shazad Latif as Nemo, this looks like top-tier autumnal fare.
