Even though we’re technically still in spring, the biggest streaming services are already setting the tone for summer viewing, and that includes Prime Video. Unlike Netflix (which churns out a constant stream of original titles), Prime Video takes a more selective approach, but it still has plenty on the way, from new films to returning series and fresh arrivals.
Whether you’re in the mood for a yearning-filled romantic drama that centers around forbidden love, a comedy series that serves as a prequel to the “Legally Blonde” films, or a heartfelt drama that involves a little mystery, there are some upcoming titles worth looking forward to.
Here are three of the standout Prime Video movies and shows I’ll be keeping on my radar for summer 2026. And if you’re after even more, take a look at our full guide to the biggest films arriving this summer.
‘Your Fault: London’
I have to admit I’m a fan of the forbidden love trope, and romantic dramas packed with yearning are always my guilty pleasure. “Your Fault: London” serves as the highly anticipated second instalment in Prime Video’s English-language U.K. cinematic universe, following the massive success of “My Fault: London.” If the title sounds familiar, that’s because this is the British reimagining of Mercedes Ron’s internationally bestselling Culpables book trilogy.
Nick (Matthew Broome) and Noah (Asha Banks) return to London as their relationship continues after the events of the previous film. Now pursuing separate paths, Noah begins studying at Oxford while adjusting to a new environment, and Nick becomes increasingly absorbed in his work within his father’s business. When distance grows between them, both become exposed to new people who introduce complications into their lives.
Stream on Prime Video starting June 17
‘Elle’
Of course, it wouldn’t truly feel like summer without the vibrant prequel series “Elle” gracing our screens next month. The eight-episode first season functions as the official prequel series to the iconic 2001 film “Legally Blonde.” Prime Video clearly has massive faith in the project, having already officially renewed it for a second season before a single episode has even streamed. The series rewinds the clock a quarter of a century to Southern California in the year 1995, dropping viewers into the tumultuous high school years of a teenage Elle Woods.
Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree) must endure her high school years in Seattle after leaving her Los Angeles upbringing behind, contending with a new social hierarchy at a competitive public school where she quickly becomes known for her confidence, style, and determination. She also deals with new friendships, early romantic entanglements, and pressure from her parents while trying to find her place in an increasingly competitive world.
Stream on Prime Video starting July 1
‘Sterling Point’
Lastly, we have the heartfelt coming-of-age drama “Sterling Point,” which has already drawn comparisons to “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” but with an added layer of family mystery. The series is created, directed, and written by Megan Park, the indie filmmaker behind the tear-jerking comedy-drama “My Old Ass” and “The Fallout.” On the surface, it has everything you’d want from a definitive summer watch, while also unfolding a slow-burning mystery as the protagonist digs deeper into mysterious secrets.
Annie Jacobson (Ella Rubin) is a 17-year-old living in New York City with her twin brother, Connor (Keen Ruffalo), and adoptive father, Steven (Jay Duplass), when her life is suddenly thrown off course by an unexpected inheritance. After the death of her estranged grandfather, Annie and her family discover they have been left a remote island in Canada. They travel there to investigate the property, only to find a small, tight-knit community already living on the island. Settling into her new surroundings, Annie uncovers long-buried secrets tied to her family’s past.
Stream on Prime Video starting August 5
