The 10 Best Series to Watch on Prime Video Right Now (July 2026)

Fallout

Step aside, The Last of Us — the best video game adaptation ever made for TV is called Fallout. Brilliantly capturing the biting humor that made the franchise iconic, as well as the unpredictability of its over-the-top post-apocalyptic setting, the series starring Ella Purnell found the perfect balance between embodying the spirit of the game and telling an addictive story of its own. Not to mention that Walton Goggins’ Ghoul is one of the most charismatic presences on television right now.

Spider-Noir

Nicolas Cage brings his Ben Reilly from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse straight into this spin-off series, which proves to be a delightful visual exercise (although Prime gives you the option to watch the series in color, we recommend black and white!), and a surprisingly engaging detective story. Excellent supporting performances, which reimagine key characters from Spider-Man lore for this noir universe, help carry the production’s eight episodes.

Interview with the Vampire

There you have it—maybe Prime Video really is the right home for great literary horror adaptations, because this new and sublime version of Interview with the Vampire fits the platform’s catalog like a glove. With two excellent seasons so far, the series starring Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson expands on the story of the romantic vampires woven by Anne Rice to incorporate social issues and unexpected contexts, without ever forgetting the dark heart that drives it: the story of an abusive relationship.

Invincible

Not content with having one of the most successful franchises in TV history with The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman teamed up with Prime to turn his subversive take on superhero stories, Invincible, into an animated series that stays true to the violent spirit—while also being remarkably generous to its characters—that defined the comics. Now heading into its fourth season, Invincible boasts a stellar voice cast (Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, J.K. Simmons, Gillian Jacobs, and many more) and still has plenty of story left to tell.

The Legend of Vox Machina

Speaking of Prime animation, The Legend of Vox Machina is the perfect pick for fantasy fans who haven’t been feeling represented by the genre’s live-action series in recent years. Adapted from the Dungeons & Dragons campaigns of one of the most famous troupes on the planet, Critical Role, the series knows when to take itself seriously and when to lean into silliness—and it does both very well. It’s another production that, already on its way to a fourth season, shows no signs of slowing down.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

On the other hand… if there’s a live-action fantasy production that deserves your attention right now, it’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Although it’s not a unanimous favorite among the fanbase, the Prime series - now heading into its third season - has proven appropriately grand in both production values and themes, honoring the legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien. In the process, it has also revived an idealism that should be part of every fantasy story worth its salt.

Jury Duty

It was the most brilliant idea TV has had in decades: build an entire sitcom set behind the scenes of a trial, and invite an unsuspecting regular guy to walk right into the middle of it. Jury Duty became a sensation in 2023 by placing construction worker Ronald Gladden among a cast of skilled comedians playing eccentric characters caught up in progressively more absurd situations. The series, already quite funny in its scripted moments, proved impossible to stop watching whenever it started to blur the line with a reality show.

Scarpetta

Scarpetta shows, from its very first episodes, the ambition to bring something more sophisticated to this vein of literary-based streaming crime series. Starting with its age rating – 18 and over –, made explicit in the opening sequences of the first episode, in which director David Gordon Green (of the new Halloween trilogy) unabashedly shows the naked body of a dead woman abandoned by the side of a railroad, later revisited in fragmented flashes of violence.

Nine Perfect Strangers

With Nicole Kidman playing a wellness guru devoted to dubious methods for “unlocking” her wealthy clients, this 2021 series recently returned for an unexpected — and much better! — second season. Always bringing in an all-star supporting cast (Christine Baranski! Melissa McCarthy! Dolly De Leon! Michael Shannon! Murray Bartlett!) to balance Kidman’s performance, which fully embraces camp, the show comes close to The White Lotus formula without seeming to repeat it — there’s an extra dash of paranoia and comedy of errors here, which only makes the recipe even tastier.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The magic of Amy Sherman-Palladino’s fast-paced writing carried the charming premise of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel through five great seasons, while also launching the career of the excellent Rachel Brosnahan before she was cast as the DCU’s Lois Lane. With an outstanding sense of comic timing, production values unmatched for a comedy, and characters who only grow deeper and more lovable (or lovably detestable) as the episodes go by, Mrs. Maisel won the hearts of everyone who cared enough to hit play. Will you be next?
