Not sure what to watch next on Prime Video? Let the Radio Times team cut through the endless scrolling and point you towards the standout series everyone should have on their watchlist.
Some words of advice. Don’t mess with Catherine Zeta-Jones. She plays an art dealer who gives her enemies more than they bargained for in Prime Video's new thriller Kill Jackie boasting many glam European locations. It zips along, but a harsh critic might note there’s more than a hint of Killing Eve about it.
If you like action series, you could try new Reacher spin-off Neagley, which follows tough and resourceful private investigator Frances Neagley as she investigates the suspicious death of a close friend. Led by Maria Sten, the eventful thriller brings a more personal mystery to the expanding Reacher universe.
Meanwhile, if you're already a Reacher fan, you'll know that season 4 is now streaming. Alan Ritchson stars as the eponymous hero from Lee Child’s bestselling novels, following the ex-military investigator as he uncovers dangerous conspiracies and delivers justice his own way.
The Grand Tour recently returned to the streamer with a fresh motoring trio taking over from Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. New presenters Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman and Thomas Holland take on globe-trotting adventures, epic road trips and outrageous automotive challenges, bringing their own chemistry while honouring the spirit of the beloved original series.
If the cast of action comedy Ride or Die wasn't starry enough with its two leads being Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer, the series also features Love Actually legend Bill Nighy in a key role. Nighy plays a character known only as The Director in the series that follows a secret assassin, Judith (Waddingham), and her relationship with her best friend Debbie (Spencer) after a hit goes wrong.
Meanwhile, off the back of shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty and Off Campus, Prime is clearly having success with adapting hit book series and Every Year After has joined that YA canon, centring on the enduring heartache of first love. When Percy (Sadie Soverall) returns back to the place she spent every summer under sobering conditions, she is also faced with plenty of familiar faces and one in particular – Sam (Matt Cornett).
Prime is also the home of epic originals including The Lord of the Rings: the Rings of Power, The Wheel of Time and The Assassin, along with hit documentary series Clarkson's Farm and comedy sensation LOL: Last One Laughing UK.
We're here to help inspire you, highlighting the best shows from Prime Video's vast library for your convenience. We update this list with new entries regularly, meaning you'll never miss the good stuff. So read on and enjoy...
