The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premiered back in 2022 and instantly became one of Prime Video's most-watched series of all time, even though audiences and critics have been split on the show's overall quality. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 finally promises to tell the story of how Sauron forges the One Ring in Mount Doom in Mordor, which provides the original source event that sparked the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. With The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 4 already in development, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 is surely going to be one of the biggest streaming events on Prime Video for the remainder of 2026. Carrie Prime Video's Carrie has been one of the streamer's top-performing series for the entire month of October 2026 and is one of the best series to watch this weekend if you're looking for something scary. Mike Flanagan brings Stephen King's debut horror novel to life over 8 episodes, set in a small town in Maine where a bullied high school student with supernatural powers named Carrie White ends up having a disastrous and blood-soaked prom night. Since it was released on October 7, Carrie has been a massive streaming success for Prime Video, prompting a quick season 2 renewal that will tie into a larger Stephen King streaming universe. Carrie earned an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score and offers an immersive combination of both supernatural horror and coming-of-age genres, somewhat similar to Netflix's massive hit series Stranger Things. Carrie is undoubtedly at the top of our list for the best horror shows to watch on Prime Video this Halloween weekend. The Terminal List The Terminal List is the #1 most-watched series on Prime Video in the world heading into its second consecutive weekend after its season 2 premiere last week. Chris Pratt returns as former Navy SEAL officer James Reece, who embarks on a dangerous story of revenge in season 1 against the people who killed his military unit and his family. The Terminal List remains critically panned but holds a strong 93% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. While The Terminal List season 2 served as a conspiracy action thriller, The Terminal List season 2 deals with the aftermath of the conspiracy as James Reece cuts a deal with the CIA to hunt down a new terrorist threat in exchange for his name being cleared. If you enjoy military-themed action thrillers like Taylor Sheridan's Lioness, The Terminal List should be at the very top of your streaming watchlist on Prime Video this weekend.
