Halloween is in full swing on Prime Video, and the platform's latest obsession is Mike Flanagan's new take on Stephen King's Carrie. The show has quickly become the most-watched title on the service, both in the U.S. and globally, and it's earning rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Collider's Nate Richard called it "definitely worth a watch for those who hold the novel near and dear to their hearts." But once you've devoured every episode, you might be wondering what to dive into next. We've got you covered with three must-watch shows available right now on Prime Video.
Hannibal: A Masterpiece of Psychological Horror
If you're still in the mood for something dark and twisted after Carrie, look no further than Hannibal. This 2013–2015 series, based on Thomas Harris's novels, is widely considered one of the best horror shows of the 21st century. It follows the intricate, unsettling relationship between FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and the brilliant psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). The chemistry between Dancy and Mikkelsen is electric, and the show's creator, Bryan Fuller, weaves a tale that's as beautiful as it is horrifying.
Over its three-season, 39-episode run, Hannibal earned critical acclaim, including a Primetime Emmy nomination and a Saturn Award for Best Network Television Series. Mikkelsen and Dancy also took home Best Actor honors for their performances. It's a show that rewards patient viewers with intricate plotting and stunning visuals. If you're a fan of sci-fi and fantasy, this is a must-watch.
12 Monkeys: A Mind-Bending Sci-Fi Adventure
For those who prefer their scares with a side of time travel, 12 Monkeys is the perfect pick. This 2015–2018 series, inspired by the 1995 film of the same name, follows James Cole (Aaron Stanford) and Dr. Cassandra Railly (Amanda Schull) as they battle the ominous "Army of the 12 Monkeys." The show was created by Terry Matalas, the showrunner behind VisionQuest, and Travis Fickett, and it's a wild ride through paradoxes and alternate timelines.
The ensemble cast, including Kirk Acevedo, Noah Bean, Barbara Sukowa, Todd Stashwick, and Emily Hampshire, brings these complex scripts to life with aplomb. If you're a fan of VisionQuest, you'll spot some familiar faces here, and the show's intricate plotting will keep you guessing until the very end. It's a great choice for anyone who loves a good puzzle.
Elle: A Feel-Good Prequel to Legally Blonde
Not everyone wants to spend their weekend on the edge of their seat. If you're in the mood for something lighter, Elle is the perfect antidote. This 2026 prequel to the iconic Legally Blonde follows a teenage Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree) as she navigates high school in 1995. It's a charming, funny, and stylish look at the origins of one of cinema's most beloved characters.
With eight episodes available to stream, Elle is a binge-worthy treat that explores the moments that shaped Elle into the Harvard Law School powerhouse we all know and love. It's a feel-good show with plenty of heart, fashion, and drama. If you're looking for something to lift your spirits this weekend, this is it.
