Now that 2025 is underway, it’s the perfect time to take stock of everything coming down the pike on the movie calendar. There are plenty of big releases hitting theaters this year, but streaming has also become a pretty competitive part of the movie landscape.

Amazon is among the studios that still invest in new movies, and while many of these movies hit theaters before arriving on streaming, they’re ultimately part of a broader streaming play. We’ve taken a look at the company’s slate for 2025 and determined that these five movies are the ones worth looking forward to most in the year ahead.

5. A Working Man (March 28, 2025)

A Working Man | Official Trailer

Jason Statham gets a lot of heat for playing the same character in every movie he’s in, and you know what? That’s fair. Directed by David Ayer, a veteran of action moviemaking, and working from a script co-written by Sylvester Stallone, A Working Man stars Statham as a former black ops agent who is pulled out of retirement when his boss’s daughter gets kidnapped.

As he searches for her, he discovers a conspiracy that threatens to upend his entire way of life and bring him back into a world he thought he’d left behind. A Working Man doesn’t offer anything new, but what it does promise is Statham knocking heads together and being his usual badass self. Sometimes, that’s all you need in a movie, especially an Amazon one.

4. You’re Cordially Invited (January 30, 2025)

You're Cordially Invited - Official Trailer | Prime Video

Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon’s combined star power should be enough to make You’re Cordially Invited worth a watch. The movie tells the story of the sister of a bride-to-be and the father of a bride who find that their luxury resort has been double booked.

When they decide to share the room, various forms of hilarity ensue. You’re Cordially Invited is the kind of romantic comedy we don’t get much of anymore, and while its premise is relatively convoluted, Ferrell and Witherspoon could sell just about anything.

3. Mercy (August 15, 2025)

We don’t know much about Mercy beyond its cast and a general premise, but the cast is enough to get us excited. This sci-fi movie follows a detective who has to go on the run after he’s accused of a crime he didn’t commit.

Starring Chris Pratt as the detective, the movie also stars Rebecca Ferguson and will be directed by Timur Bekmambetov, a tried-and-true hand in both Russia and the U.S. Mercy may or may not be an action masterpiece, but it definitely has enough star power to be one.

2. The Accountant 2 (April 25, 2025)

Upon its release a full decade ago, The Accountant was widely ridiculed, in part because it starred Ben Affleck playing an autistic man who was really good at killing people. As the years have passed, though, The Accountant has become widely beloved in part because the movie is so silly.

Now, we’re getting a sequel that will feature much of the original film’s principal cast, including Affleck and Jon Bernthal. Gavin O’Connor is returning as director, so if you liked the silly fun of The Accountant, you’ll probably also like the sillier fun of this follow-up.

1. G20 (April 10, 2025)

What could be better than Viola Davis playing the president in an action thriller? G20 follows Davis’s president as she must protect her family, her fellow world leaders, and her country when the event is taken over by terrorists.

Directed by Patricia Riggen, G20 could be a fairly classy affair, or it could be pretty silly, but either way, Davis’ gravitas seems guaranteed to elevate the proceedings and turn this into one of Amazon’s most riveting releases of the year. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait until December to get it, either.

Amazon Prime Video has many great TV shows you can watch with a subscription, from originals like Reacher and Cross to older network shows like Elementary and Chuck, and even old classics like Columbo. But if you dig deeper through the content library, you’ll find some hidden gems, too.
These three underrated shows on Amazon Prime Video in February 2025 are probably ones you haven’t heard of, or at least didn’t consider watching. But you might find that they are exactly what you need when you’re scrolling through the endless library and seemingly can’t find anything else to watch.

On Call (2025)
On Call - Official Trailer | Prime Video
How many police procedurals can you watch? Do you really need another one in your life? You might! On Call is a brand-new Amazon original created by Dick Wolf, the man behind some of the biggest police procedurals ever to grace the small screen, like Law & Order and the Chicago franchise. Set in Long Beach, Traci Harmon (Troian Bellisario) is a veteran training officer, and Alex Diaz (Brandon Larracuente) is her rookie partner. Each episode follows their investigations into local emergency calls, all while grieving the loss of another officer.
There’s a massive discrepancy in how critics and audiences view this show, according to Rotten Tomatoes, with a 50% versus 90% score. This may have deterred some potential viewers from watching. But considering the positive audience reception, many praised how the show is “believable,” it’s one of those “watch and make a call for yourself” types of shows. Give On Call a few half-hour episodes and go from there.

2025 is going to be a great year for sci-fi television. Fans can look forward to the return of hit shows like Foundation, Andor, and The Last of Us, and they’ll also be getting some excellent new series as well. It should be noted though that 2025 won’t see much hardcore, “traditional” sci-fi. There’s a chance that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy might premiere this year, but nothing has been confirmed, and it could be pushed to 2026.

Still, major streamers like Netflix, Hulu, and Max will all be premiering new shows that are either proper sci-fi or have sci-fi elements in 2025 — including a few highly anticipated prequel series. If you’re a sci-fi fan, check out these five shows you’ll want to watch in 2025, ranked by how anticipated they are.
