Prime Video in August 2026: Top 5 new arrivals on Amazon's streamer
There are some major additions coming
We're sitting right at the very end of July, which can only mean one thing – we're about to start a whole new month of streaming. If you're a Prime Video subscriber wondering what's coming down the pike for you, you're in luck, because I've taken the time to check out everything on the way.
There are some big arrivals, too, with one of Prime Video's most popular shows returning, and more than one steamy romance arriving to ensure that you can get hot under the collar if you so choose. Check out the five highlights that you need to know about below, each with a trailer and release date for you to plan around.
Reacher Season 4
- Streaming from: 12 August
Shows don't really come any bigger than Reacher – or, should I say, characters don't. The biggest crime-solver out there is back for a fourth season, and by now the template shouldn't need much introduction. Reacher always manages to find trouble, and almost always manages to sort it out by the end of one of his stories.
He generally does so while accumulating a new coterie of locals to help him, and this season looks like no exception. When he happens upon a distressed woman on a train, his attempts to help her can't save her life. This leaves him unable to move on until he understands what she was going through, and that means he'll tug at the thread of a criminal conspiracy, as always.
Sterling Point
- Streaming from: 5 August
If you want a coming-of-age story with a few more twists and turns than the average, then Sterling Point could be ideal. It's the tale of a young woman who discovers that her grandfather and her mother had secrets she could never imagine. When she inherits a remote cabin in Sterling Point, she goes to see what it's like.
Little does she know, she'll soon encounter a half-sister, and will realise that her mother had episodes in her life that she can hardly imagine. With romance and self-discovery all blended into the mix, Sterling Point seems like a great little option if you want a heartfelt drama with plenty of intriguing plot details.
The Last Sunrise
- Streaming from: 26 August
For those in the mood for a purer slice of romance, though, the end of August will introduce The Last Sunrise, which is set on the beaches of Mallorca. Oriah is a young woman in search of a direction for her life, dealing with some difficult circumstances of her own. She goes to Mallorca with her mum, a property developer looking to build a hotel in the area.
Little does Oriah know that she'll soon meet the man of her dreams, with the only big complication being that she's not intending to stay in Mallorca beyond the summer, and that her mum is buying up his family's land for the hotel. That kicks off some broody moments, from the looks of things, as well as some seriously steamy scenes.
The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls
- Streaming from: 9 August
If you didn't know that Bear Grylls had found god, you'll know after this trailer. This show is a crossover between his usual survivalist stuff and Amazon's The Chosen, a retelling of the life of Jesus Christ. That show has been running for quite some time now, and this is clearly a way to promote it.
Grylls will take some of the core cast of The Chosen out on amazing adventures in the wilderness. They'll find their limits and in some cases push past them, to get a bit of a sense of what living in the wild could really mean. Don't be surprised if there are some themed parts, too – like Jesus living in the desert, which would be an obvious choice.
Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter
- Streaming from: 20 August
One of the greatest tennis players to ever grace the court, it's remarkable that Novak Djokovic is still playing at the highest level, even if his career is in its twilight era now. He just reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon, to underline the fact that his longevity pretty much defies belief, and this all-access doc will hopefully give some interesting insight into his psychology and journey.
We know that he's prickly, and we know that he's taken unbelievable care of himself over the last two decades and more, but getting a sense of what he's like off the court could be fascinating. These titans of sport aren't all that common, so any profile of them can be a really scintillating watch.
