A League of Their Own

Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video, here's your horoscope: Stay away from reality dating shows! After less than a week in release, the astrology-based dating competition Cosmic Love has already fallen out of Prime Video's top 10 shows and movies. It follows another dating show flop, The One That Got Away, as Prime Video's biggest misses of the summer. Maybe stick to billion-dollar fantasy epics or action shows about tough guys doing tough things. Or, go with more shows about brave women fighting societal norms, since A League of Their Own is still the No. 1 show. Meanwhile, All or Nothing: Arsenal, which releases new episodes weekly on Wednesdays, returns to the list at the bottom.

Below, we've put together Prime Video's most popular shows and movies, but we're also steering you toward what's worth watching. We also list what's coming next to Amazon Prime Video and Amazon's ad-supported free streaming service, Freevee, in the near future so you know what will be on the Top 10 list soon.

New Amazon Prime Video releases coming soon:

  • Making the Cut Season 3 - Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum's fashion reality competition returns (Aug. 19)
  • Todo Por Lucy Season 2 - A Spanish-language reimagining of I Love Lucy set in modern times (Aug. 19)
  • Sprung (Freevee) - Greg Garcia's new comedy about a trio of ex-convicts who use their skills for good (Aug. 19)
