7 best shows on Amazon Prime right now

1. The Boys

The fifth and final season premiered on 8 April 2026 and ended on 20 May 2026, so all 40 episodes are now available. Fans can continue with the spin-off Gen V, while a prequel, Vought Rising, is listed for 2027.

2. Fleabag

Fleabag is a dark comedy drama written by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, based on her own one-woman stage show. Her character is a messy, funny Londoner who often speaks straight to the camera. It was co-produced by Amazon Studios for the BBC.

The second series, in which Andrew Scott plays the Priest, won six Emmy Awards including Outstanding Comedy Series. The show ended in 2019 after just 12 episodes, which makes it one of the easiest binges on the platform.

3. The Family Man

Created by Raj and DK, The Family Man stars Manoj Bajpayee as Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class man who secretly works for a fictional intelligence unit. The show balances tense missions with the chaos of his home life, and Priyamani plays his wife, Suchitra.

Season 3 arrived on 21 November 2025, with Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur joining the main cast. Season 3 is set against rising tensions in Northeast India, and it is a good pick for viewers who want a Hindi series.

4. Jack Ryan

Based on Tom Clancy’s novels, Jack Ryan stars John Krasinski as a CIA analyst pulled into field operations against global threats. Over four seasons he rises through the agency while chasing international threats.

The series ended with its fourth season in July 2023, after 30 episodes. The story continues in the film Jack Ryan: Ghost War, which Wikipedia lists as a Prime Video release in 2026.

5. The Summer I Turned Pretty

Based on Jenny Han’s novels, the show follows Belly, played by Lola Tung, and her feelings for brothers Conrad and Jeremiah over several summers at a beach house. Its soundtrack, packed with Taylor Swift songs, became a big part of its appeal.

The third and final season ended on 17 September 2025. On the same day, a feature film continuing the story was announced, with Jenny Han set to write and direct.

6. The Devil’s Hour

This British psychological thriller, created by Tom Moran, stars Jessica Raine as Lucy, a woman who wakes every night between 3 and 4 am after vivid nightmares. Her life grows stranger when she is linked to a string of murders, and Peter Capaldi plays the mysterious Gideon.

Series 1 came out in October 2022 and series 2 in October 2024. The show was renewed for a third series, but no release date had been listed at the time of writing.

7. I’m a Virgo

Created and directed by Boots Riley, I’m a Virgo stars Jharrel Jerome as Cootie, a 13-foot-tall young man who finally steps out into the world. The show uses practical effects, including miniatures and puppets, for many of its scenes.

It has one season of seven episodes, released in June 2023. In May 2026, Riley said there were no plans for a second season, so treat it as a complete, offbeat watch.

Two more worth adding to your watchlist

• Panchayat: TVF’s gentle Hindi comedy about an engineering graduate who becomes a village panchayat secretary in Phulera, Uttar Pradesh. It has four seasons and has been renewed for a fifth.
• The Horror of Dolores Roach: a horror comedy starring Justina Machado, based on a podcast. Amazon cancelled it after one season, but its eight episodes still make a tidy weekend watch.

How to choose what to watch first

If you want something short, start with Fleabag or I’m a Virgo. If you want a long binge with a proper ending, The Boys and The Summer I Turned Pretty are now complete. For an Indian story, The Family Man and Panchayat are the safest picks.
