Did you know we’re just about to head into November? Yeah, believe it. Prime Video is closing out October with a stacked week, bringing a major movie, a true-crime shocker and the return of its biggest animated hit.
First, on Oct. 29, the long-awaited second season of “Hazbin Hotel” premieres with its first two episodes. Following the battle with Heaven, Charlie’s hotel is rebuilt and booming, but she now faces a new problem: sinners are checking in to gain power, not redemption, while the sinister Vees’ plot to capitalize on how crazy everything is.

Then, just in time for Halloween, the Brazilian true-crime docuseries “Tremembé” takes viewers inside the infamous São Paulo prison that houses some of Brazil’s most notorious and high-profile criminals.
