Amazon Prime Video: the best shows to stream in 2026
The Boys ended, Rings of Power is back, and Reacher is still punching. Prime Video has an outstanding 2026 line-up — here's what to queue up.
Amazon Prime Video had a landmark 2025 and is continuing that momentum into 2026. The platform's strategy of investing in prestige long-form content is clearly paying off.
The Rings of Power — Season 3 — The most expensive TV production ever made returned for its third season in early 2026. The story of the forging of the Rings is finally reaching its dramatic climax, with Sauron fully emerging from the shadows. Critics who were lukewarm on Season 1 have called Season 3 a triumphant redemption arc for the show.
Reacher — Season 3 — Jack Reacher is back, and this time he's investigating a cold case in rural Montana that turns out to be anything but cold. Season 3 is bigger, brawnier, and more plot-driven than ever.
The Boys — A Legacy — Following the explosive conclusion of The Boys in 2025, Amazon has commissioned a documentary series going behind the scenes of one of the most culturally impactful superhero shows ever made. Essential viewing for fans.
Cross — Based on James Patterson's Alex Cross novels, this thriller series starring Aldis Hodge has found a loyal audience and returns for its second season in mid-2026.
Secret Level — Season 2 — The acclaimed animated anthology series exploring the worlds of popular video games returns with even more acclaimed game universes and jaw-dropping animation.
Don't forget: Amazon Prime Video is included in your Prime membership. If you're not a member yet, the 30-day free trial is a no-brainer.
