Reacher

Since its debut in 2022, Reacher has consistently been a hit on Prime Video, becoming the platform’s leading action series after three seasons of strong reviews. Even before the fourth season arrives, the show remains popular with both new and returning viewers, currently ranking as a top 10 show on Prime Video in the U.S. (according to FlixPatrol).

Starring Alan Ritchson, Reacher is a thrilling series where each season tells a different story from Lee Child’s popular books. The show expertly mixes crime, mystery, action, humor, and even a touch of romance, making it enjoyable for a wide range of viewers. Boasting a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and with a fourth season already planned, Reacher is consistently one of the best shows available to stream on Prime Video.

House Of David

This week, House of David is another big hit on Prime Video. This 16-episode historical series, which originally launched in February 2025, is currently the #3 most-watched show in the U.S. (according to FlixPatrol). Despite being based on ancient stories, it’s surprisingly fun and makes for a perfect binge-watching experience over the holidays.

Everyone seems to love House of David, with a great audience score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. The show follows the story of David, a young shepherd who becomes king after Saul’s reign ends. Though it includes some violent moments, it’s generally appropriate for teenagers and older, making it a good choice for family viewing on Prime Video this week.

Beast Games

The reality competition series Beast Games is currently a hit on Prime Video in the U.S., ranking as the fourth most-watched show despite coming out in December 2024. Created and hosted by popular YouTuber MrBeast, it’s a great choice for family viewing this week, offering exciting challenges that appeal to all ages.

It’s not surprising that season 1 of Beast Games is currently popular on streaming services, with the first three episodes of season 2 arriving on January 7, 2026. You don’t even need to watch the first season to get ready for season 2, because a new group of competitors will be vying for a $5 million prize.

Season one of Beast Games was a huge success for Prime Video, becoming their most-watched unscripted series ever. It also broke world records, offering the biggest cash prize in reality TV history and using more cameras than any previous reality show. Once you start watching Beast Games, you’ll be hooked until the very end – it’s incredibly addictive!

Fallout

Since its debut last week, the new season of Fallout is quickly becoming one of Prime Video’s biggest hits – and is expected to stay popular through the holidays and into next year. If you subscribe to Prime Video, you’ve probably already heard about the show, which has received 17 Emmy nominations, a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is currently #1 worldwide on Prime Video.

I’m so excited for the new season of Fallout! What I love is that you don’t even need to be into sci-fi or have played the games to enjoy it – it’s just a really fun, funny, and action-packed show. The second episode drops on December 24th, and then new ones will come out every Wednesday until February 4, 2026 – even on New Year’s Eve! It’s going to be a great ride.

Finding Mr. Christmas

If you’re a Prime Video subscriber hoping to get into the Christmas spirit, the reality show Finding Mr. Christmas could be perfect. This show, which first came out in 2024, follows ten men as they compete in holiday-themed challenges for the chance to star in a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Finding Mr. Christmas offers a peek behind the curtain at how Hallmark casts its leading men for its beloved Christmas movies. Hosted by Jonathan Bennett, this 8-episode series is a lighthearted and enjoyable watch for the holidays. The first season is currently available for Prime Video subscribers, and you can now binge the brand new second season exclusively on Hallmark+.
