Prime Video's hit mystery series continues its triumphant streaming run with a major milestone. Prime Video's lineup of TV shows in September includes new episodes for fan-favorite series and the debut of exciting new shows. When it comes to the former, Alan Ritchson's Reacher season 4 will conclude soon. As for the latter, the first Reacher spinoff series, Neagley, which is centered on Maria Sten's Frances Neagley and will feature Ritchson as Jack Reacher in a guest role, will debut on the streaming service this month. That said, 2026 has really been Prime Video's year for coming-of-age shows so far. The streaming service has had multiple hits with that as their basis. One of those is Off Campus, which adapts Elle Kennedy's 13-novel romance franchise. Another popular coming-of-age romance series on Prime Video is Every Year After. The show also adapts a popular book franchise, being based on Carley Fortune's novels. Joining them among Prime Video's big genre hits in 2026 is Sterling Point, which differs from those two shows in the sense that it is an original series, not based on any books. After debuting on the streamer on August 5, Sterling Point has passed a major streaming milestone on Prime Video. Why Sterling Point Can't Be Stopped In Latest Streaming Milestone Sterling Point proved itself an instant streaming sensation for Prime Video, and it has reaped the rewards that solid launch set it up for, as the mystery series has crossed the 30-day mark on Prime Video's Top 10 TV Shows chart in the United States. To be more exact, Sterling Point is currently at 32 days on the coveted Prime Video chart. Better than the fact that it has been trending on Prime Video from the moment it was released is the fact that Sterling Point is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Sterling Point is currently Prime Video's 2nd most-watched TV show in the United States, only losing to Ritchson's Reacher. The Prime Video mystery series also boasts the 5th longest run on the streamer's Top 10 TV Shows chart in the US right now, with the longest belonging to the action thriller series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. Sterling Point's streaming success and new milestone can be attributed to its overwhelmingly positive reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, Sterling Point stands at a near-perfect 91% critics' score based on 43 reviews. It also boasts a stellar 84% audience score, making it a fan-favorite. The Show Is So Good It's Already Renewed For Season 2 After its release on the streamer on August 5, it would only take a couple of weeks for Prime Video to officially renew Sterling Point for season 2, which happened on August 20. As such, it joined the fellow coming-of-age debuts on Prime Video in 2026, Off Campus and Every Year After, on the list of new series getting second seasons on the streamer. In ScreenRant's Sterling Point season 1 review, Rianna de Bono-Smith called the show's first eight episodes messy, but claimed that Sterling Point found its footing throughout the season. Now that it has been renewed for season 2, Sterling Point can be even better.
