The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Find season 2 in Apps > Prime Video from Thursday 29 August. Season 1 is available now

After season 1 became one of the biggest TV debuts in history, we’re heading back to Middle-earth’s Second Age and the ascending evil presence of Sauron (Charlie Vickers) as he continues his vengeful quest for complete power. It was quite the rug pull that the man who saved Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) from drowning would be her (and Middle-earth’s) biggest tormentor. Against a rising tide of darkness, friendships are strained, kingdoms falter and the forces of good face their greatest battle.

The Grand Tour: One For The Road

Find it in Apps > Prime Video from Friday 13 September. Seasons 1-5 available now

It’s the end of an era for petrolheads Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, as they bring their Grand Tour series to its epic conclusion with one last road trip. For their final adventure, they’re heading on the trip of a lifetime across Zimbabwe in the cars they've always dreamed of owning – a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre and a Triumph Stag. Even though the future is looking uncertain for our trio, you can expect to see the all familiar camaraderie, tomfoolery and laugh out loud moments that they’re known for.

UEFA Champions League

Watch live in Apps > Prime Video from Tuesday 17 September

For the first time in the competition’s illustrious history, you’ll be able to watch the UEFA Champions League live on Prime Video. From the all-new league stage up to and including the semi-finals, tune in on Tuesdays for the top pick of matches from Europe’s biggest club competition. Gabby Logan will be on hand alongside former Netherlands international midfielder Clarence Seedorf and pundits Daniel Sturridge, Frank Lampard, Gael Clichy, Josie Henning, Laura Georges and more. Jon Champion and Alan Shearer will be on commentary.

A Very Royal Scandal

Find it in Apps > Prime Video from Thursday 19 September

The most dramatic TV interview since David Frost met Richard Nixon features a man who has played one half of that duo in a previous movie. This time, Michael Sheen – who was Frost in Ron Howard’s Frost/Nixon – plays the interviewee not the interviewer, stepping into the sweatless shoes of Prince Andrew. Ruth Wilson plays Emily Maitlis, as this series follows the action in the lead-up to the interview, the groundbreaking event itself and the many questions left in its wake that would change their lives forever.

Premier League

Watch live in Apps > Prime Video this December

The best teams, the best managers, the best players and – notable exceptions aside – even the best kits, there’s nothing like the Premier League. Once again, you’ll be able to watch 20 live matches on Prime Video in December, including all 10 matches from the midweek round starting 3 December, and another 10 across the Boxing Day bank holiday. There’s some juicy ties on offer as Arsenal host Manchester United, while Liverpool travel to Newcastle. Then on Boxing Day, it’s a London derby with Chelsea welcoming Fulham and league new boys Ipswich travel to Arsenal.

The Boys

Find seasons 1-4 in Apps > Prime Video now

The fourth season of this blockbusting and indeed gutbusting comic-book adaptation has arrived, and the supes are close to taking over. Despite the best efforts of Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and his team, Homelander (Antony Starr) has the nation in his grip, and humanity’s about to become an endangered species. Butcher and the Boys are losing hope – until an old friend (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, The Walking Dead) gets in touch to offer some. A virus that kills supes? It might just work. Expect more blood, gore, virulent swearing and entirely unsubtle parallels with real-life politics in one of TV’s most extravagantly entertaining shows – with a fifth and final season due in 2025.

Batman: Caped Crusader

Find season 1 in Apps > Prime Video from Thursday 1 August

This brilliant show is the spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series, one of the greatest animated superhero shows of all time. Partly because it’s a collaboration between that show’s co-creator Bruce Timm alongside JJ Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves. But also, fans will love its 90s animation vibe, and the fact that it will tell the story of Batman’s early career as it reimagines the classic character, including Harley Quinn as a serial killer and a twist on The Penguin that will thrill fans.

The Mallorca Files

Find seasons 1-3 in Apps > Prime Video now

This crime drama travels from BBC One to Prime Video for its third season following an ambitious British detective (Elen Rhys, Consent) and her laid-back German partner (Julian Looman, The Ibiza Affair). In season 3, amid high-stakes adventures, treasure hunts, arson, kidnappings, and murders, Max and Miranda’s personal tensions and odd-couple partnership are put to the test.

My Lady Jane

Find season 1 in Apps > Prime Video now

The history books have Lady Jane Grey pegged as the “Nine Days’ Queen”, who was executed for high treason by her cousin Queen Mary I in 1554. However, in the screen adaption of the bestselling novel My Lady Jane, she’s a heroine who evades death and has a life filled with romance and adventure. Emily Bader (Charmed) is Lady Jane, with Rob Brydon (Gavin & Stacey), Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter And THe Half Blood Prince), Edward Bluemel (Sex Education), Anna Chancellor (Fifteen-Love) and Kate O’Flynn (Everyone Else Burns) also starring.

Fallout

Find season 1 in Apps > Prime Video now

This new series is based on the long-running Fallout video game – a series so popular, it’s even got its own annual celebration day (it’s on 23 October, just so you know). In a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, factions battle for control of the wasteland and if the game is anything to go by, you can expect a sensational smorgasbord of mutants and monsters, and power battles galore. British actor Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) stars alongside Walton Goggins (Justified), Moisés Arias (The King Of Staten Island) and Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks).

The Office Australia

Find season 1 in Apps > Prime Video this autumn

Out go David Brent and Michael Scott. Meet Hannah Howard (Felicity Ward), the managing director of packaging company Flinley Craddick in the newest take on Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s original 2001 mockumentary series. When Hannah gets wind that they’ll be shutting down her branch and making everyone work from home, she goes into survival mode, making promises she can’t keep to keep her “work family” together. Fun fact: it’s the 13th adaptation of the acclaimed series, but the first with a female lead.
