New Amazon Prime Video TV Shows and Movies in January 2026

Prime Video, the Everything Store of streaming services, is starting the year off in typically eclectic fashion. Within a few days of each other, Prime is putting up second seasons of The Night Manager, a sophisticated British spy thriller starring Tom Hiddleston and Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, and Beast Games, a Squid Game-esque reality competition show hosted by four-time Creator of Year Streamy winner MrBeast. 

Prime Video contains multitudes — at least on the TV side; on the movie side, it's nothing but straight-to-streaming action comedies. This month's is The Wrecking Crew, starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista as estranged half-brothers who reunite to solve the mystery of their father's death. Plus there's Prime's usual mix of live sports (NBA on Prime and Thursday Night Football), new release and library movies, and originals.

Below, you'll find our picks for the best shows and movies to watch with a Prime Video subscription in January, as well as everything coming to Prime Video this month. Prime Originals are marked with *.

The best new shows on Prime Video in January

Beast Games Season 2 (Jan. 7)

Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, the smiling, mega-successful YouTube star, is back for another season of his controversial Prime Video reality competition that puts his signature endurance tests on an even bigger scale. This season, he's assembled 100 physical specimens and 100 eggheads for a "Strong vs. Smart" battle royale. Every challenge is a test of brains and brawn, and the strongest, smartest contestant will walk away with $5 million. Money wins! [Trailer]

The Night Manager Season 2 (Jan. 11)

The Night Manager Season 1 was an AMC and BBC co-production that aired as a limited series in the winter of 2016. Now, nearly 10 full years later, it's back for a second season as a Prime Video exclusive. The world has changed so much since Season 1. Brexit hadn't happened yet. Olivia Colman hadn't won an Oscar and an Emmy. Tom Hiddleston hadn't even dated Taylor Swift! But espionage still needs to happen, and Hiddleston's Jonathan Pine is now working as a low-level MI6 agent when a chance encounter throws him back into the mix with the conspiracy he and Angela Burr (Colman) unraveled years ago. His new target is Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva), and the fate of a nation rests on Pine's shoulders. The first season was based on a novel by legendary author John le Carré, but the second and in-the-works third are all-new. [Trailer]

Steal (Jan. 21)

Sophie Turner stars in this unusual heist thriller series as Zara, an office worker at a boring pension fund investment office. One day, some very menacing thieves bust into the office and force her and her co-worker and friend Luke (Archie Madekwe) to transfer billions of pounds in pension funds. DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) investigates, while also trying to keep his relapsed gambling addiction secret. Steal is a timely thriller about money troubles.
