Between an action-packed Reacher spinoff and the long-awaited return of Chris Pratt's gripping military thriller, there are no better new series to binge-watch this week on Prime Video than these ones. Right now, there's something worth checking out on Prime Video for everyone, as the streamer has all sorts of great new releases ranging from drama to comedy and everything in between. Looking ahead, Prime Video is set to drop the new drama series Love in Disguise this Wednesday, October 21, as well as the new sports docuseries The Greatest based on the life of Muhammad Ali in early November. Until then, these five series are worth binge-watching on Prime Video. The Rainmaker The Rainmaker is one of the most-watched shows on Prime Video now that season 2 officially premiered last Friday, October 16, on USA Network. The Rainmaker is based on a celebrated novel of the same name, which follows a young and eager lawyer named Rudy Baylor, played by Milo Callaghan, who takes on a corrupt insurance company in an unlikely legal battle. The legal crime thriller has been in Prime Video's U.S. Top 10 for most of October and is worth checking out for fans of shows like Suits, Goliath, and The Lincoln Lawyer. Neagley Neagley has easily become one of Prime Video's most successful new series of 2026, still raking in viewership after it premiered over a month ago on September 16. The Reacher spinoff series has proven that it can stand on its own as a well-crafted action mystery series led by Maria Sten's Frances Neagley, a private investigator in Chicago who looks into the mysterious death of her childhood friend. Neagley earned a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and still ranks #2 on Prime Video's viewership chart. If you can't get enough of Reacher, Neagley is a must-watch that lives up to its original series. Helluva Boss Season 3 of Helluva Boss continues its rollout on Prime Video this week after premiering on Wednesday, October 14. The genre-blending adult animated series is also one of the most popular in the United States, ranking in the Top 10 Prime Video series once again this week. Helluva Boss follows a group of demon assassins sent from Hell, collectively known as the Immediate Murder Professionals. Helluva Boss premiered back in 2021 and has since become one of Prime Video's most reliable animated series, especially during the Halloween season. New episodes of Helluva Boss season 3 arrive on Wednesdays throughout October. Carrie Carrie is a certified global smash hit on Prime Video, holding the streamer's #1 worldwide viewership spot for another consecutive week following its October 7 premiere. The latest series from Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) is also another Stephen King adaptation, joining other Flanagan-led modern adaptations such as Doctor Sleep and The Life of Chuck. Carrie retells the classic story of Carrie White, a high school student in a small town in Maine with psychic powers who gets bullied by her peers. Part horror and part coming-of-age drama, Carrie is simply one of the best new series on any streaming service to watch this spooky season. The Terminal List The best new Prime Video series to watch this week is season 2 of The Terminal List, which finally premieres this Wednesday, October 21, roughly four years after its explosive first season. Based on the novels by Jack Carr, The Terminal List follows James Reece, played by Chris Pratt, a former Navy SEAL officer who is thrown into a massive conspiracy after suffering a series of unthinkable tragedies, both on duty and at home. The Terminal List season 2 is set to pick up not long after season 1 left off, taking James on a new adventure to clear his name for good. If you love military action thrillers like Taylor Sheridan's Lioness, The Terminal List is the best new show on Prime Video for you this week.
