Best Amazon Prime Video Series 2026: 11 Must-Watch Hits

10 massive hits are hitting your screen. While Netflix focuses on volume, Amazon Prime Video is doubling down on high-quality IP and cinematic storytelling. Navigating the service's menus might be a pain, but these shows make the effort worth it. Here's our definitive guide to the best Amazon Prime Video series 2026 edition.

Best Amazon Prime Video Series 2026: The Heavy Hitters

Leading the charge is Fallout, which returns for a second season. The show remains a grisly delight, brilliantly adapting the video game's mix of B-movie schlock and sharp satire. Watching Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) head toward New Vegas is the high-octane adventure fans have been waiting for.

For action junkies, Reacher is back for Season 3. Based on the novel 'Persuader', this season pits Alan Ritchson against an even bigger physical threat—the 7′2″ Paulie. It's a pulpy, hard-hitting procedural that knows exactly what its audience wants.

• 1st: Fallout (Season 2 return with high critical acclaim)
• 2nd: Invincible (Season 3 exploring darker superhero themes)
• 3rd: Reacher (Adapting the 7th novel in the series)
• 4th: The Mighty Nein (Premium 45-minute animated episodes)
• 5th: Butterfly (Spy thriller starring Daniel Dae Kim)

Animation Evolution: From Critical Role to Gundam

Prime Video is also winning the animation game. The Mighty Nein expands the world of Vox Machina with more mature themes, while Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX brings the iconic mecha franchise to the platform via Studio Khara. These aren't just cartoons; they're prestige dramas that happen to be animated.
