Although Amazon Prime Video has the most subscribers in the streaming wars, it releases less original content than many competitors and, usually, that content is of lesser quality. Nonetheless, it was also the first streaming service to win an Emmy with Transparent and still has a formidable library of original shows. Some of the more notable recent investments include The Boys, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Fallout, and two popular shows that recently returned for their third seasons.
This month’s update sees Kevin Bacon’s The Bondsman join the list, as well as new seasons from Reacher and Wheel of Time. Read on for the best Amazon Prime Video original series available now.
We’ve also rounded up the best new shows to stream, the best shows on Amazon Prime Video, the best Netflix original series, and the best Hulu original series if Prime Video doesn’t have the originals you’re looking for.

The Bondsman (2025)
In this Blumhouse fantasy horror, Kevin Bacon stars as Hub Halloran, a backwoods bounty hunter who has gained a second chance at life, love, and his musical career. However, there’s a twist: Hub is still a bounty hunter, but he’s now hunting demons on behalf of the Devil. Along the way, Hub learns the sins he committed that condemned him to Hell in the first place.
Reacher (2022)
Based on Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels, Reacher stars Alan Ritchson as the titular retired Military Police Officer. In the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds himself arrested for a murder he didn’t commit, falling down a rabbit hole of dirty cops, scheming politicians, and conspiratorial businessmen.
Three seasons in, Reacher’s still reaping the consequences from that backwater.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Once considered “unadaptable,” Amazon Prime Video has brought Robert Jordan’s epic fantasy series to the small screen. In a mythical country, the world’s most powerful magicians believe the Dragon may have been reincarnated. Prophecy foretells that this individual will have the power to save the world or destroy it.
Narrowing down her search to five young people, Aes Sedai Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) takes them on a journey to the Eye of the World to determine who is the Dragon, knowing full well most of them will not survive.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (2018)
Tom Clancy’s fan-favorite hero, Jack Ryan, has the distinction of being played on the big screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine. However, it was John Krasinski’s take on the character that made Amazon’s Jack Ryan such a compelling show. Think of it as Jack Ryan Begins. This series follows Jack early in his career when he was simply an analyst for the CIA. Regardless, Jack’s ability to make connections and follow the money convinced the CIA to put him into the field long before he was truly ready for it.
Regardless of his lack of field experience, Jack grew into the role and personally took down a terrorist plot. Unfortunately, Jack’s personal life has suffered along the way. Thankfully, the series never disappoints when it comes to thrilling action scenes. Amazon has confirmed that a third season is on the way, which means Jack Ryan will be back in the near future.
Daisy Jones & the Six (2023)
A fictionalized tell-all about a rock band that abruptly called it quits, Daisy Jones & The Six is a creative examination of the real music and culture of the 1970s. In 1977, Daisy Jones & The Six — led by Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) — had risen from obscurity to fame. They seemed poised for superstardom.
And then, after a sold-out show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, they disbanded. The limited series picks up decades later as the band members recount the true story of why it all fell apart.
The Power (2023)
The Consultant (2023)
The Peripheral (2022)

Her skills earn her notoriety and soon, a company sends her a new video game system to test. But the strange system transports her to an incredibly lifelike, futuristic London that seems to tap into all of her dreams of finding a purpose, romance, and fame. But it also carries very real danger.
