The Terminal List returns for its second season on Prime Video, bringing Chris Pratt back as James Reece, the former Navy SEAL whose quest for vengeance drove the hit first season. Based on the best-selling novels by former SEAL Jack Carr and developed by showrunner David DiGilio, the series continues one of Prime Video's most-watched action franchises after the success of its prequel spinoff, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.
Picking up Reece's story, the new season sends the haunted operator into a fresh conspiracy, drawing on Carr's later novels as Reece pursues enemies across a shadowy landscape of private power and government betrayal. Pratt again anchors the series in a grim, physically demanding dramatic register far from his comedic roles, and the season deepens the saga's blend of military authenticity and paranoid thriller mechanics, with the body count and moral cost rising accordingly.
Premiering on October 21, 2026, Season 2 arrives on the momentum of a franchise that has expanded into a connected universe of Jack Carr adaptations. With Pratt both starring and producing, the series continues to court the enormous audience that made the original a streaming phenomenon despite a divided critical reception. The Terminal List Season 2 streams on Prime Video.
Neagley is a Prime Video action-thriller series and the first spinoff from Reacher, the hit adaptation of Lee Child's novels. It hands the spotlight to Frances Neagley, the sharp, self-contained investigator and longtime ally of Jack Reacher, played by fan favorite Maria Sten, who reprises the role from the flagship show.
Set within the same world as Reacher, the series follows Neagley on a case of her own, leaning on her formidable investigative instincts, discipline, and hard-won independence rather than on brute force alone. Freed from Reacher's shadow, the show explores what makes her tick: her guardedness, her code, and the personal history that shaped one of the franchise's most beloved supporting characters.
Premiering on Prime Video in September 2026, Neagley extended the popular Reacher universe into new territory and gave Maria Sten her first leading role in the franchise. Built for the same propulsive, case-driven momentum that made its parent series a streaming juggernaut, Neagley is streaming on Prime Video.

The Last Frontier is an Apple TV+ action thriller created by Jon Bokenkamp, the creator of The Blacklist, together with Richard D'Ovidio. Set amid the vast, unforgiving wilderness of Alaska, it pairs survival-thriller spectacle with a conspiracy that steadily widens beyond a single catastrophe, with some episodes directed by Extraction filmmaker Sam Hargrave.
Jason Clarke, who also executive produces, stars as Frank Remnick, a lone U.S. marshal responsible for keeping order across 600,000 square miles of remote backcountry. His already difficult job turns deadly when a prison-transport plane crashes nearby and releases a group of dangerous inmates into the wild, and it soon becomes clear the crash was no accident, but part of a far larger scheme. Dominic Cooper, Haley Bennett, Simone Kessell, Dallas Goldtooth and Alfre Woodard co-star.
The ten-episode first season premiered on October 10, 2025 and rolled out weekly, offering a muscular, cat-and-mouse thriller staged against Alaska's punishing landscape. Reviewers welcomed its throwback, pulpy energy and Clarke's grounded lead performance. It streams on Apple TV+.
Twisted Metal is an action-comedy series based on Sony's long-running PlayStation vehicular-combat video game, developed for Peacock by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith. Set in a lawless, post-apocalyptic wasteland known as the Divided States of America, it pairs demolition-derby carnage with irreverent, foul-mouthed humor.
Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, an amnesiac "milkman" delivery driver who is offered a shot at a better life if he can transport a mysterious package across deadly territory. Stephanie Beatriz plays the fierce car thief Quiet, while the iconic ice-cream-truck-driving killer clown Sweet Tooth is performed physically by Joe Seanoa and voiced by Will Arnett. Season two, released in 2025, finally stages the franchise's signature tournament, presided over by the enigmatic Calypso (Anthony Carrigan).
After a mixed but popular first season, Twisted Metal roared back with a second season that won over critics, jumping to a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score for its faster pace, bigger action, and deeper embrace of the games. It has become one of Peacock's signature genre titles.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva is a Paramount+ action-drama and the latest spinoff in the long-running NCIS franchise, reuniting two of the mothership series' most beloved characters. Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprise their roles as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, the will-they-won't-they fan favorites whose romance was one of the original show's defining threads. Created by John McNamara, the series finally reunites the pair years after each departed the flagship show.
The story finds Tony raising the couple's daughter, Tali, while running a security company in Paris. When he comes under attack, Tony and Ziva are thrown back together and forced to go on the run across Europe, trying to uncover who is targeting them while navigating their complicated history as parents and partners. The result blends globe-trotting, espionage-tinged action with the character-driven banter that made the duo so popular.
Premiering on Paramount+ in September 2025, the series capitalized on years of fan demand for a Tony and Ziva reunion and extended the NCIS brand into serialized, internationally set storytelling. Filmed in Europe, it leans on the star chemistry of Weatherly and de Pablo to carry a fresh chapter in one of television's most durable franchises. NCIS: Tony & Ziva streams on Paramount+.
Spider-Noir is a live-action superhero series on Prime Video, produced under the Amazon MGM and Sony partnership, that spins Nicolas Cage's animated Spider-Verse character off into his own hard-boiled detective story. Cage, who voiced Spider-Man Noir in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, now plays the character in the flesh, headlining a period noir steeped in the shadows of Depression-era New York.
Set in the 1930s, the series follows an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator who was once the city's masked protector and finds himself pulled back into a dangerous case that forces the web-slinger out of retirement. Rendered largely in stark black and white to evoke classic film noir, the show trades the multiverse spectacle of its animated origins for gumshoes, gangsters, and grim mystery. Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, and Li Jun Li are among the cast.
Premiering in 2026, Spider-Noir stands out as the first live-action solo Spider-Man television series and an unusually stylish, adult-leaning take on the character. Building on the popularity of Cage's scene-stealing Spider-Verse role, it reimagines a comic-book hero through the lens of 1930s pulp detective fiction. Spider-Noir streams on Prime Video.
Butterfly is a slick, globe-trotting espionage thriller on Prime Video, adapted from the Boom! Studios graphic novel by Arash Amel. Daniel Dae Kim — who also executive produces — stars as David Jung, a former United States intelligence operative living in the shadows in South Korea years after faking his own death. His carefully hidden life collapses when he is targeted by Rebecca, a lethal young agent from a shadowy private intelligence outfit called Caddis, setting off a relentless cat-and-mouse chase across the Korean peninsula.
The series' central twist reframes the pursuit as something far more personal than a routine assignment, binding hunter and hunted together through a buried family secret. Reina Hardesty plays Rebecca with steely intensity, and the show balances wall-to-wall action — foot chases, shootouts, and hand-to-hand combat through Seoul's streets and neon-lit interiors — with a genuine interest in identity, belonging, and the ties that survive betrayal.
Shot almost entirely on location in South Korea, Butterfly showcases the country as more than an exotic setting, weaving Korean language, culture, and craft into its DNA. For Daniel Dae Kim, born in South Korea and raised in the United States, the project was a personal milestone, and the series arrived as one of Prime Video's most distinctive action offerings of the year. It streams on Prime Video.
