Amazon hit the stage for its Upfront presentation on Monday and announced a whole new slate of original series in development, and some set to debut on Prime Video in 2026 and 2027.
We got noteworthy updates on hit titles on the platform — Aaron Paul is joining season 3 of Fallout, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power now has a season 3 premiere date. From espionage and titles of the sultry variety to a lot more, Prime Video’s event day was full of noteworthy entries to keep an eye on.
Amazon also gave a few updates on previously announced projects, such as the live-action Voltron movie, Delphi, The Greatest (about Muhammad Ali), Reacher spin-off Neagley, Clashing Through the Snow and its new Barbershop TV series. Plugs for the upcoming Carrie TV show, the Arnold Schwarzenegger holiday film, The Man with the Bag and the adaptation of the dragon-rider Fourth Wing book series were part of the event, too.
Back to the new stuff: Do you want to see Brett Goldstein play an escort? How about Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer as besties, who also do the spy thing? But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Below are titles in the works or premiering soon for Prime Video that we’re going to keep an eye on — and you probably should, too.
Ride or Die
Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham star in this new action comedy series as besties Debbie and Judith, who think they know each other inside and out. But Judith has been keeping a big secret: She’s an international assassin. A person from her past forces Judith and Debbie to go on the run and delve into the spy life throughout Europe. The series premieres on Prime Video on July 15.
Escorted
Brett Goldstein steps into the role of a divorced dad who falls into the Manhattan world of male escorts in this new romantic comedy. “I’m so excited to bring a wholesome show about condoms, co-parenting and cosplay to Amazon — the place where I actually buy my condoms, so it feels like a real full circle moment,” Goldstein said in a statement.
Sex Criminals
This upcoming series stars Imogen Poots and John Reynolds as Suze and Jon, two people who can freeze time during sex. So, they decide to rob banks. Sex Criminals is based on the acclaimed comic book run by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky and co-created by Emily V. Gordon, Kumail Nanjiani and Tze Chun.
Rose Hill
Rose Hill is based on Elsie Silver’s bestselling romance novels and follows friends and neighbors, West Belmont — a rancher with relationship problems — and tortured record label owner Ford Grant, who has feelings for West’s sister, Rosie. Add in a country pop star named Skylar Stone to heat up this small mountain town.
Reality Retreat
Prime Video’s new competition reality series pits 11 reality stars against each other in a high-stakes wellness retreat. The series’ ensemble cast includes Housewives stars Kenya Moore, Margaret Josephs and Kim Zolciak; Bachelorette fan-favorites Kaitlyn Bristowe, Jenn Tran, and Julie and Savannah Chrisley; and other standouts Christine Quinn, Brittany Cartwright, Tamar Braxton and Hilaria Baldwin.
