Best Amazon Originals and Exclusive Content on Prime Video: The Complete Guide

Amazon Originals are shows and films produced or co-produced exclusively for Prime Video. They are not available on any other streaming platform, which means the only place to watch them is right here. What sets them apart is the sheer range. Prime Video invests in everything from prestige drama and global fantasy to experimental comedy and big-budget action, often giving creative teams the kind of freedom that results in genuinely distinctive storytelling. Multiple Amazon Originals have won Emmy, BAFTA, and Golden Globe awards, and several rank among the most-watched streaming titles globally.

Based on Bethesda's beloved video game franchise, Fallout follows vault dweller Lucy, played by Ella Purnell, as she ventures into a retro-futuristic wasteland 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse. Alongside her, Walton Goggins delivers a standout performance as a ghoul gunslinger with a mysterious past, and Aaron Moten stars as a soldier from the Brotherhood of Steel. The series is darkly funny, visually stunning, and packed with the kind of world-building detail that rewards both fans of the games and complete newcomers. Fallout became Prime Video's most-watched debut in 2024 with 65 million viewers in its first week and holds an 8.5 on IMDb. A second season has been confirmed. All episodes are available to stream now.

The Boys takes the superhero genre and turns it completely on its head. Set in a world where superheroes are managed by a powerful corporation called Vought International, the series follows a group of vigilantes led by Karl Urban's Billy Butcher who set out to expose the corrupt, narcissistic, and often terrifying truth behind the world's most powerful supes, including Antony Starr's chilling portrayal of Homelander. It is violent, satirical, razor-sharp, and unlike anything else in the genre. The Boys holds an 8.7 on IMDb, has won multiple Critics' Choice and Saturn Awards, and has spawned the spin-off Gen V. It consistently ranks among the most-watched titles on the platform. All seasons are available to stream now.

Based on Lee Child's bestselling Jack Reacher novels, this series follows the towering former military police investigator as he drifts from town to town, uncovering conspiracies and dispensing his own brand of justice along the way. Alan Ritchson brings a physicality and dry wit to the role that has made the show a massive hit with audiences worldwide. Each season adapts a different novel from the series. Reacher holds an 8.1 on IMDb and is one of Prime Video's most-watched originals globally, praised for its tight plotting, satisfying action sequences, and faithful adaptation of the source material. All three seasons are available to stream now.

Set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power is one of the most ambitious and expensive television productions ever made, with a reported investment exceeding one billion dollars. The series explores the Second Age of Middle-earth, following an ensemble cast led by Morfydd Clark as Galadriel and Charlie Vickers as Sauron across multiple storylines as the great powers of the world begin to forge the legendary rings and a long-dormant evil stirs once more. Filmed across locations in New Zealand and the UK, the series features some of the most visually spectacular sequences ever seen on television. Two seasons are currently available, with the story building towards the epic conflicts that Tolkien fans know are coming.

Adapted from Robert Jordan's iconic fantasy book series, The Wheel of Time follows Moiraine, played by Rosamund Pike, a member of the powerful Aes Sedai, as she leads a group of five young people on a journey across a vast and dangerous world, believing one of them may be the reincarnation of a figure prophesied to either save or destroy humanity. The series brings Jordan's richly detailed world to life with impressive production values and a sprawling narrative that grows in scope with each season. The Wheel of Time holds a 7.1 on IMDb. Two seasons are available now, with a third confirmed. It is a must-watch for fantasy fans looking for something to sink their teeth into after The Rings of Power.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan follows the titular CIA analyst as he is thrust from the safety of his desk into dangerous field operations that take him across the globe. What begins as intelligence work quickly escalates into full-scale geopolitical thrillers, with John Krasinski delivering a compelling and grounded performance in the lead role. The series holds an 8.0 on IMDb and is now complete across four seasons, making it a perfect binge from start to finish. It combines taut espionage plotting with blockbuster-level action set pieces and consistently ranks as one of Prime Video's top-performing originals. All seasons are available to stream now.

Set in the same universe as The Boys, Gen V shifts the focus to Godolkin University, a prestigious college exclusively for young superheroes. The series follows a group of students led by Jaz Sinclair and the late Chance Perdomo as they compete to be the top-ranked supe on campus, but as they dig deeper into the institution's secrets, they uncover something far darker than they expected. Gen V manages to stand entirely on its own while enriching the world of The Boys in surprising ways. It blends coming-of-age drama with the same biting satire and graphic superhero action that fans of the parent show love. Gen V holds a 7.5 on IMDb. The first season is available now.

Based on Jenny Han's bestselling novel trilogy, The Summer I Turned Pretty follows Belly Conklin, played by Lola Tung, as she spends another summer at Cousins Beach with her mother's best friend's family, including two brothers played by Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno. What was once a carefree childhood tradition becomes something much more complicated as relationships shift, feelings surface, and the summer takes on a bittersweet weight it never had before. The series is a beautifully shot, emotionally rich coming-of-age story that has resonated enormously with audiences. Three seasons are available, and the show has become one of Prime Video's biggest hits, particularly with younger viewers.

Chris Pratt stars as Navy SEAL Commander James Reece, who returns home after his entire platoon is ambushed during a covert mission. As conflicting evidence and memory lapses cloud his recollection of the events, Reece begins to uncover a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the battlefield, and sets out on a mission of vengeance against the powerful forces responsible. Based on Jack Carr's bestselling novel, The Terminal List is a gripping military thriller that keeps the tension ratcheted up throughout. It holds an 8.1 on IMDb.

Beyond the flagship titles, Prime Video's action and thriller catalogue runs deep.

Cross, based on James Patterson's bestselling novels, follows detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross as he hunts Washington D.C.'s most dangerous criminals. Mr. and Mrs. Smith reimagines the premise of the 2005 film as a stylish, slow-burn espionage series starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. And for fans of taut, contained thrillers, The Power explores what happens when women around the world suddenly develop the ability to generate electrical jolts from their hands, upending the global balance of power overnight.
