The 15 best TV shows on Amazon Prime Video in February 2026
A new erotic thriller and a highly anticipated second season are coming to Amazon this month
Amazon Prime Video TV shows should be on your watchlist this month, whether it’s a new erotic thriller or some of the best series ever made.
The streaming platform had something for everyone in January. Beast Games season 2 saw the return of MrBeast’s maniacal reality series, with a fresh crop of contestants running, jumping, and betraying one another for money.
Sophie Turner’s Steal was a highlight, with the Game of Thrones star playing a pension firm worker who becomes embroiled in a £4 billion heist.
There’s even more on offer in February 2026. So, we’ve rounded up the best TV shows on Amazon Prime Video this month.
Best TV shows on Amazon Prime Video (February 2026)
Cross season 2
- Genre: Thriller
- Year: 2026 (premieres February 11)
- Cast: Aldis Hodge, Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings
- Creator: Ben Watkins
- Length: 2 seasons, 16 episodes
What it’s about: Alex Cross, a homicide detective and forensic psychologist, pursues a ruthless vigilante who is hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates.
Why to watch: Amazon has become a dab hand at Dad TV. Its adaptation of Reacher nailed the books where the movies failed, and Cross is the best adaptation of James Patterson’s source material yet. Dark, intense, and perfect for a binge-watch; we need season 2 yesterday.
56 Days
- Genre: Thriller
- Year: 2026 (premieres February 18)
- Cast: Dove Cameron, Avan Jogia
- Creator: Lisa Zwerling, Karyn Usher
- Length: 1 season, 8 episodes
What it’s about: Oliver and Ciara meet randomly in a supermarket and fall for each other fast. Fifty-six days later, homicide investigators arrive at Oliver’s apartment to find an unidentified body.
Why to watch: Once upon a time, erotic thrillers made millions of dollars at the box office. Now, they’re produced for streaming – but that doesn’t mean they’re worse. If anything, they have the freedom to go a little crazier, and 56 Days (produced by the creator of The Conjuring, no less) could be one of the platform’s wildest watches yet.
Vanished
- Genre: Thriller
- Year: 2026 (premieres February 27)
- Cast: Kaley Cuoco, Sam Claflin, Matthias Schweighöfer
- Creator: David Hilton, Preston Thompson
- Length: 1 season, 4 episodes
What it’s about: When a couple’s trip to Paris takes a dark turn with the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend aboard a train to the south of France, Alice is plunged into a web of intrigue and danger, uncovering shocking secrets about the man she thought she knew.
Why to watch: Kaley Cuoco’s dramatic talents aren’t in doubt (especially after The Flight Attendant), and Sam Claflin is a bona fide movie star. Vanished is the kind of irresistible thriller that’ll appeal to just about everyone; plus, who doesn’t want to spend a few hours in France?
Clarice
- Genre: Thriller
- Year: 2021
- Cast: Rebecca Breeds, Michael Cudlitz, Kal Penn
- Creator: Jenny Lumet, Alex Kurtzman
- Length: 1 season, 13 episodes
What it’s about: One year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs, agent Clarice Starling returns to work to pursue serial murderers and sexual predators.
Why to watch: A TV continuation of one of the greatest movies ever made sounds like… a terrible idea. Clarice isn’t on its level – but it is good; addictively nasty, with a strong turn from Rebecca Breeds as the titular agent.
The Girlfriend
- Genre: Thriller
- Year: 2025
- Cast: Robin Wright, Olivia Cooke
- Creator: Naomi Shelton, Gabbie Asher
- Length: 1 season, 6 episodes
What it’s about: Laura’s perfect life begins to unravel when her son Daniel brings home his new girlfriend: Cherry, who may have ulterior motives with their relationship… or is she just paranoid?
Why to watch: Olivia Cooke, violence, oedipal messiness, a dash of incest; no, we’re not talking about House of the Dragon. The Girlfriend, a wicked, juicy soap masquerading as a psychological thriller, goes down like a pretty bottle of Lambrini – and tastes just as good.
The Underground Railroad
- Genre: Drama
- Year: 2021
- Cast: Thuso Mbedu, Chase W. Dillon, Joel Edgerton
- Creator: Barry Jenkins
- Length: 1 season, 10 episodes
What it’s about: After escaping a Georgia plantation, Cora discovers a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the southern soil. As she seeks freedom, she’s pursued by a notorious bounty hunter.
Why to watch: An epic, operatic, and heartbreaking series that stretches the confines of the small screen, The Underground Railroad is the most slept-on series on Amazon Prime. It wouldn’t be fair to call it underrated (it’s received near-universal acclaim from those who’ve seen it), but it should have been loudly and widely lauded. Rectify the universe’s error and watch it.
The Grand Tour
- Genre: Comedy
- Year: 2016 – 2024
- Cast: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May
- Creator: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May, Andy Wilman
- Length: 6 seasons, 46 episodes
What it’s about: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May come together to discuss cars big and small and embark on wild adventures across the globe.
Why to watch: Disclaimer: The Grand Tour isn’t as good as Top Gear’s heyday; no adventure lives up to their USA or Argentina road trip, and the chaos feels more manufactured. But it still works, cruising on Clarkson, Hammond, and May’s one-of-a-kind chemistry. If you’re a longtime fan, One for the Road may even make you a bit emotional.
Fleabag
- Genre: Comedy, Drama
- Year: 2016 – 2019
- Cast: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Clifford, Andrew Scott
- Creator: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
- Length: 2 seasons, 12 episodes
What it’s about: In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Fleabag – a single, witty, fourth-wall-breaking woman – tries to navigate awkward hookups, keeping up with her family, and the rest of daily life while dealing with grief.
Why to watch: Fleabag is the best comedy series of the past decade in every regard. Incisively funny, emotional, and affectingly wise, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s extraordinary performance (and writing) anchoring a show incapable of failure.
Jury Duty
- Genre: Reality, Comedy
- Year: 2023 – present
- Cast: Ronald Gladden, James Marsden, Mekki Leeper
- Creator: Lee Eisenberg, Gene Stupnitsky
- Length: 1 season, 8 episodes (season 2 premieres in March)
What it’s about: Ronald Gladden, a normal guy, arrives at court for jury duty. Little does he know, everyone around him is an actor.
Why to watch: Jury Duty appeared to be a one-and-done triumph. It was hard to see how it could ever be replicated (anyone who sees an actor among their jurors will be immediately suspicious). Yet, not only is this is one of the most joyous reality shows ever made, but it’s coming back in March.
Kingdom
- Genre: Drama, Sports
- Year: 2014 – 2017
- Cast: Frank Grillo, Kiele Sanchez, Matt Laurie, Nick Jonas
- Creator: Byron Balasco
- Length: 3 seasons, 40 episodes
What it’s about: Alvey Kulina, a retired MMA fighter, tries to navigate his complicated family dynamic while running a mixed martial arts gym and developing the next generation of stars.
Why to watch: If you liked Frank Grillo’s character in Warrior, Kingdom is as close to a spiritual successor as you could ask for. This is a vastly underrated TV show; bruisingly choreographed, with fraught, compelling drama and some terrific performances. You won’t regret watching it.
Steal
- Genre: Thriller
- Year: 2026
- Cast: Sophie Turner, Archie Madekwe, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd
- Creator: S.A. Nikias
- Length: 1 season, 6 episodes
What it’s about: A typical work day at a pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves bursts in and forces Zara to execute their demands.
Why to watch: Steal seems like it’ll be like all the other heist thrillers you’ve ever seen. Yet, in the closing seconds of its opening episode, Sophie Turner’s new Amazon Prime Video series proves it has way more to offer. In a world where there is so much to watch all the time, you won’t blink before pressing play on the next episode.
Beaver Falls
- Genre: Comedy
- Year: 2011 – 2012
- Cast: Samuel Robertson, Arsher Ali, John Dagleish
- Creator: Iain Hollands
- Length: 1 seasons, 6 episodes
What it’s about: Flynn, A-Rab, and Barry travel from the UK to work at Beaver Falls, an elitist summer camp in the US for the children of the rich and powerful.
Why to watch: Beaver Falls came and went rather quietly during its original run on E4, which is a shame, because it deftly blended The OC-style drama with silly, Inbetweeners-esque humour. Plus its theme song is a banger; listen to it once, and then it’ll always make you think of summer.
Swarm
- Genre: Thriller
- Year: 2023
- Cast: Dominique Fishback, Chloe Bailey, Billie Eilish
- Creator: Donald Glover, Janine Nabers
- Length: 1 season, 7 episodes
What it’s about: Dre, a young woman obsessed with pop singer Ni’Jah, goes on a cross-country trip in pursuit of her beloved superstar, with her journey becoming increasingly violent along the way.
Why to watch: Swarm effectively centres on a Gen Z Annie Wilkes, though unlike Misery – an untouchable, but straightforward horror – this is a devastatingly surreal and nasty fable of obsession and parasocial self-identity (something that’s scarily common online). Also, Billie Eilish almost steals the whole show.
Invincible
- Genre: Animation, Superhero
- Year: 2021 – present
- Cast: Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, J.K. Simmons
- Creator: Robert Kirkman
- Length: 3 seasons, 25 episodes (season 4 premieres in March)
What it’s about: Mark is the son of Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on Earth. After he wakes up with powers of his own, he takes on the mantle of Invincible, unaware of the responsibilities (and horrors) that await him.
Why to watch: Invincible felt like a new frontier from its first episode; a Pokémon-hued, violent, and entirely singular superhero adaptation with cosmic stakes that feel down-to-earth.
It has a claim to the best superhero show that’s currently airing; provocative, compulsively watchable TV that will only get better, should it complete the medium-defining comics. A new season is coming in March: don’t miss out.
Fallout
- Genre: Sci-fi, Action
- Year: 2024 – present
- Cast: Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten
- Creator: Graham Wagner, Geneva Robertson-Dworet
- Length: 2 seasons, 8 episodes (second season still airing)
What it’s about: Over 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse, three people end up on a collision course: Lucy, a Vault 33 resident who ventures into the real world for the first time; Maximus, a Brotherhood of Steel squire; and the Ghoul, a mutated gunslinger and bounty hunter.
Why to watch: Fallout is among the best video game adaptations ever made (yes, better than The Last of Us), because it’s fantastic on its own terms. It doesn’t pander, nor does it misstep in its expansion of the beloved franchise.
It hones the dark iconography and analog-softened vibe of the games for an all-new experience. May the future of the genre be cut by its sword.
Season 2 will conclude in February – but it’s not too late to catch up!
