Your weekend streaming plans just got a major upgrade. While The Boys and Invincible continue to dominate Prime Video's charts, a new contender has finally muscled its way into the spotlight. Citadel, the globe-trotting spy thriller starring Stanley Tucci, Richard Madden, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, has returned for a second season — and all seven episodes dropped on Wednesday, May 6. That makes it the perfect time to catch up on the entire series.
If you haven't yet dived into Citadel, here's the setup: Madden and Chopra Jonas play two elite spies caught in the collapse of a global intelligence agency. Tucci's character, Bernard, adds a layer of cunning and wit that elevates the show beyond typical action fare. The first season premiered three years ago, but the franchise has kept busy with international spin-offs like Diana and Honey Bunny. Still, nothing beats the original — and Season 2 promises even higher stakes.
For fans of sci-fi TV that demands a binge, Citadel delivers pulse-pounding sequences and twisty espionage. But it's not the only show worth your time this weekend. Here are three Prime Video series you should add to your queue.
1. Citadel (Season 2)
Rotten Tomatoes: 51% | IMDb: 6.2/10
The main event. Citadel Season 2 brings back the core cast for a new mission that picks up after the shocking events of the first season. With all episodes available at once, you can power through the entire season in a single weekend. The show's international scope and high-octane action make it a standout in Prime Video's spy genre. If you're looking for a miniseries that delivers pure perfection, this isn't quite that — but it's close, and the cliffhangers will keep you hooked.
2. Criminal Minds (2005–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 82% | IMDb: 8.1/10
With 18 seasons and counting, Criminal Minds might seem intimidating, but it's the perfect procedural to dip into. The show follows FBI profilers in the Behavioral Analysis Unit as they tackle some of the most twisted cases imaginable. Each episode is self-contained enough to jump in anywhere, yet the character arcs reward long-time viewers. The series was canceled in 2019, but fan outcry led to a revival in 2022 — proof of its enduring appeal. With a new season returning later this month, now is the ideal time to start binging.
3. The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022–2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 79% | IMDb: 7.2/10
If you need a break from spies and serial killers, this YA romance is the perfect palate cleanser. Based on Jenny Han's beloved books, the series follows Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) as she navigates a love triangle with brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalengo). Set against the idyllic backdrop of Cousins Beach, the show evolves from sweet to tense across its three seasons. A feature-length continuation was recently confirmed to be in production, so catching up now will prepare you for what's next.
Whether you're in the mood for espionage, crime-solving, or teenage drama, Prime Video has you covered this weekend. And if you finish all three, check out Denzel Washington's The Equalizer trilogy for more action-packed bingeing.
