Amazon Prime Video is one of the most popular streaming services in the world, thanks in large part to its extensive library of original shows. However, this year, the streaming giant made several cuts to that library,

The best 2025 new and returning Prime Video shows ranged from intense action thrillers, coming-of-age romance dramas, and acclaimed animated series.

The streamer is home to lesser-known series, like The Devil's Hour, and continues to add excellent options, such as the new college-set comedy Overcompensating.

Aside from free shipping, Prime Video is the second-best perk that comes with an Amazon Prime subscription.

New episodes of Stranger Things and the highest-grossing animated movie of all time are among this week's best streaming titles
