Another week has flown by on Prime Video, and while Alan Ritchson's Reacher continues to dominate the streaming charts with its fourth season—an adrenaline-fueled adaptation of Gone Tomorrow—there's a whole world of other gems waiting for your attention. If you're looking to switch things up this weekend, we've rounded up three standout series that deserve a spot on your watchlist. From a beloved car show's bold new era to a fantasy reimagining and a noir superhero spin-off, these picks offer something for every taste.
The Grand Tour Returns with a Fresh Lineup
After the iconic trio of Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond bid farewell to the show in 2024, The Grand Tour seemed to have reached its final destination. But Prime Video has officially rebooted the series, and the premiere of this new chapter lands this Friday. Stepping into the driving seat are James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, the duo behind the popular YouTube channel Throttle House, alongside train enthusiast Francis Bourgeois. This fresh lineup promises to bring a new dynamic to the beloved format, making it one of the most intriguing arrivals on Prime this month. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the show, this reboot is worth a look.
My Lady Jane: A Fantasy Gem Worth Saving
If high-octane car chases aren't your speed, consider diving into My Lady Jane, one of the most underrated fantasy series of the decade. Released in 2024, this clever retelling of Lady Jane Grey's story (played by Emily Bader) adds a fantastical twist, as her unexpected rise to the throne is threatened by a court full of scheming subjects. But in this world, nothing is quite as it seems, and a magical rebellion looms on the horizon. Bader, who recently charmed audiences in the Netflix rom-com People We Meet on Vacation alongside Tom Blyth, brings electric chemistry with her co-star Edward Bluemel (Lord Guildford Dudley). The show was cruelly canceled after just one season, sparking a Change.org petition with over 125,000 signatures—proof of its devoted fanbase. If you haven't experienced this delightful series yet, now's the perfect time to binge it.
Spider-Noir: A Stylish Spin-Off You Can't Miss
Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been smashing box office records, but if you're craving more web-slinging action, Spider-Noir is the perfect companion piece. This animated spin-off, which premiered earlier this year on Prime Video, stars Oscar winner Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a 1930s New York private investigator battling personal demons and street crime in the name of justice. With a stellar supporting cast including Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson, the series delivers slick, stylish storytelling that's been hailed as some of the best of the year. Cage's performance is unforgettable, adding a layer of eccentric brilliance. Sadly, Prime Video has canceled Spider-Noir after just one season, making this weekend's binge all the more essential.
