Every week, Prime Video refreshes its library with a mix of original programming and acquired titles, and this week’s lineup is particularly strong. From romantic dramedies and animated superhero adventures to high-octane action comedies and intense courtroom dramas, there is genuinely something for every kind of viewer. The streaming service is also welcoming back a fan-favorite series and adding a few notable films that have been making waves in theaters. Below, we break down the most compelling new titles landing on Prime Video this week, along with a few recent additions that are still well worth your attention.
Prime Video: New This Week
Materialists (10 November)
Dakota Johnson stars as Lucy, a young and ambitious New York City matchmaker who believes she has reduced love to a reliable formula. Her carefully constructed world is thrown into chaos when she meets Pedro Pascal’s character, a tall, dark, and handsome “unicorn” who seems like the perfect match, on the same night she has a chance encounter with her broke old boyfriend, played by Chris Evans. Suddenly, Lucy finds herself torn between the security of a flawless connection and the messy, unpredictable pull of an imperfect past love.
The film explores modern dating dynamics with wit and emotional depth, featuring a love triangle that feels both escapist and painfully relatable. Johnson brings her signature dry charm to the role, while Pascal continues his streak of magnetic performances as the seemingly ideal partner. Evans, meanwhile, reminds audiences of his versatility in a role that is far removed from his superhero roots. Materialists is directed by Celine Song, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Past Lives, and her screenplay balances sharp humor with genuine poignancy. It is a smart, grown-up romantic comedy that asks whether love can ever be truly calculated, and it gets a wide release on Prime Video this week.
BAT-FAM (10 November)
For younger viewers and families, BAT-FAM offers a fresh and playful animated take on the Batman mythos. The series follows Batman, Alfred, and young Damian Wayne, who has now taken on the mantle of “Little Batman,” as they welcome an eclectic group of new residents to Wayne Manor. Joining the household are Alicia Pennyworth, Alfred’s free-spirited grandniece; Claire, a recently reformed super-villain; Ra’s al Ghul, Damian’s adoring grandfather who also happens to be Batman’s longtime nemesis; and Man-Bat, who takes up residence in the Wayne Manor belfry. Not to be forgotten is Selina, the family cat, who adds her own brand of feline mischief.
The show leans into the comedy and heart of this unconventional extended family, as they navigate the everyday ups and downs of domestic life while still protecting the streets of Gotham City. The voice cast includes Luke Wilson as Batman, Yonas Kibreab as Damian, James Cromwell as Alfred, Haley Tju as Alicia, London Hughes as Claire, Michael Benyaer as Ra’s al Ghul, and Bobby Moynihan as Man-Bat. With its all-star voice talent and a premise that inverts the usual dark and brooding Batman tone, BAT-FAM is a delightful addition to the growing library of animated DC content aimed at kids and families.
Playdate (12 November)
Action-comedy fans are in for a treat with Playdate, starring Kevin James and Alan Ritchson. James plays Brian, a recently unemployed accountant who agrees to a playdate with his son’s friend’s dad, Jeff, portrayed by Ritchson. What Brian expects to be an easy afternoon of small talk and football tossing quickly spirals into a chaotic, life-threatening scramble when a ruthless team of mercenaries begins pursuing them. Brian, who has zero tactical skills, finds himself stumbling through one ridiculous obstacle after another, while Jeff proves oddly prepared for the violence erupting around them.
The film is directed by Luke Greenfield, known for comedy hits like Let’s Be Cops and The Girl Next Door, and he brings a similar blend of buddy comedy and high-stakes action to this suburban adventure. The contrast between Brian’s hapless everyman and Jeff’s mysteriously capable ex-soldier type creates endless comedic friction, and the film never lets up on its absurd momentum. The supporting cast includes Sarah Chalke, Alan Tudyk, Benjamin Pajak, Banks Pierce, Hiro Kanagawa, Stephen Root, and Isla Fisher, adding even more comedic firepower. Playdate transforms an ordinary afternoon into an over-the-top action-packed escapade where minivans become weapons and playdates turn into survival missions.
Belén (14 November)
Belén is a powerful and timely film based on the true story that sparked an international movement, chronicling the harrowing case of Julieta, a young woman falsely accused of infanticide. Set in the conservative Argentine region of Tucumán, the film follows Dolores Fonzi’s Soledad Deza, a fearless lawyer who takes on the highly controversial and explosive case. As Soledad confronts a corrupt, classist, and patriarchal legal system, Julieta’s story becomes a flashpoint for the ongoing fight for women’s reproductive rights, igniting outrage and solidarity across the country and beyond.
The film is based on Ana Correa’s book Somos Belén and blends gripping courtroom drama with a searing critique of systemic injustice. It also celebrates resilience and sisterhood, showing how ordinary people can unite to challenge deeply entrenched power structures. Fonzi delivers a commanding performance as the lawyer determined to seek justice, while the narrative sheds light on a real case that galvanized millions of women. Belén is essential viewing for those interested in socially conscious cinema, and its release on Prime Video makes this important story accessible to a global audience.
Malice (14 November)
This week also brings Malice, a psychological revenge thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Jack Whitehall stars as Adam, a charismatic tutor who insinuates himself into the lives of the wealthy Tanner family while they are on holiday in Greece. When the family’s nanny falls dangerously ill, Adam orchestrates his way into their London home, and his true vengeful nature begins to emerge. Adam systematically turns Jamie Tanner, played by David Duchovny, and his wife Nat, played by Carice Van Houten, against each other, secretly plotting to destroy the entire family.
The series explores themes of obsession, betrayal, and the danger of inviting strangers into one’s inner circle. As Adam’s fixation grows, those who dig deeper into his past find themselves playing a dangerous game, and Jamie begins to realize that Adam may be responsible for all the recent catastrophes. But is it too late to save his family? The show’s taut pacing and strong performances make it a compelling watch. In addition to Whitehall, Duchovny, and Van Houten, the cast includes Christine Adams and Raza Jaffrey. Malice proves that the past never stays buried and raises the chilling question: how do you protect your family from an enemy already inside your home?
Hurry Up Tomorrow (15 November)
Closing out the week’s new releases is Hurry Up Tomorrow, a psychological musical odyssey starring Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. The film follows a musician plagued by insomnia who is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence. It is a visually arresting and emotionally intense exploration of identity, creativity, and the quest for meaning, with a soundtrack that draws heavily from Tesfaye’s album of the same name.
Riley Keough also stars in this ambitious project, which blurs the lines between music video, drama, and surrealist cinema. Tesfaye proves he is more than just a chart-topping artist, showing genuine screen presence in a role that mirrors his own public struggles with fame and sleeplessness. Ortega continues her remarkable run of eclectic roles, while Keoghan brings his signature intensity to the mysterious stranger. Hurry Up Tomorrow is a bold and unconventional addition to Prime Video’s catalog, appealing to fans of art-house cinema and music-driven storytelling alike.
