The biggest streaming arrival this week is undoubtedly the long-awaited return of Ted Lasso, which has been off the air for three years. Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca Welton is one of the many fan-favorite faces back in Season 4, with the acclaimed actress also leading one of Prime Video’s biggest new hits. Alongside Oscar winner Octavia Spencer, Waddingham stars in the new action-comedy seriesRide or Die, which has maintained a top position on the streaming charts since its debut. But it isn’t the only series worth your time on the streamer right now. With that in mind, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

Park’s deft touch on the coming-of-age genre has been clear to see plenty of times before, with *Sterling Point *yet another example. Packed with drama, mystery, and coziness, this visually calming new show will have you hooked from the first episode, and it makes for a perfect binge-watching option this weekend. Already, the series has gained near-perfect reviews from both critics and audiences on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
Earlier this year, the fourth season of one of the best animated superhero shows of the decade debuted on Prime Video and, if it somehow passed you by, now is the time to catch up. Invincible, based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name, follows Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) and his attempt to move out of the shadow of his father after finally inheriting superpowers.
As action-packed as it is emotionally detailed, *Invincible *has earned almost universal praise across each of its four seasons for good reason. It might be animated, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is a family-friendly series, with plenty of bloody violence and mature themes awaiting those looking for an immersive viewing experience this weekend.
Before there was Reacher, a star of ***The Office ***led Prime Video’s best action series. Earlier this year, he returned in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War, directed by Andrew Bernstein, which sadly disappointed both critics and fans. To make up for this misstep, why not binge-watch Jack Ryan, the Tom Clancy-inspired action series starring John Krasinski, this weekend?
The series follows Krasinski’s titular former U.S. Marine and Afghanistan veteran, now looking to climb the career ladder as a CIA analyst. On his first time in the field, Ryan uncovers a pattern of terrorist communication about to send him down a dangerous road. An intelligent, politically charged thriller packed with pulse-racing tension, *Jack Ryan *is a must-watch for anyone with a Prime Video subscription.
