It seems that this week is the toughest in years for Amazon Prime Video. We say this, obviously, due to the announcement of hundreds of layoffs in its film and television division. Just when they were about to introduce ads on their platform.
But let’s focus on the fact that 2024 has just begun and that means new series are coming to our streaming services, because platforms thrive on having new content every week. It sounds exhausting, but that’s how it is.
In this article we are going to review all the series that Prime Video is going to premiere during 2024. Some of them have already been featured in this magazine before, as they have been highly anticipated by fans for years.
Without further ado, here are the five most anticipated series by Amazon customers that will premiere this year. Five may seem like a few, so let’s add an extra series.
The 5 most anticipated series on Prime Video in 2024
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (February 2nd)
Adaptation of the unbearable movie starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of the same name, Mr. and Mrs. Smith seems to adapt quite freely from its source material. The show stars Donald Glover (also a producer of the series) and Maya Erskine as a pair of agents who go undercover as a married couple.
The protagonists will face a new mission every week, leaving room for the inclusion of fabulous guest stars like Paul Dano, Ron Perlman, and Michaela Coel only in the first season.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, season 2
Set thousands of years before the events of the beloved films we all know and love, The Rings of Power could be the most high-profile series in the history of Amazon Prime Video, and it should return for its second season in 2024. The series concluded its first season by revealing who Sauron is and giving us an idea of how Mordor was created.
And the Middle Earth of The Rings of Power is not the one we all know, but it is rapidly transforming into it. Although it is impossible to know what the second season of The Rings of Power has in store for us, fans are eager to find out.
Invincible, Season 2 (Part 2)
Invincible offered fans half of its second season in 2023, and the other half will premiere in 2024. Although it is not a superhero series for children, Invincible is the kind of self-aware series that has attracted millions of viewers to Jeff Bezos’ platform.
The series, which is an adaptation of a popular comic of the same name and premiered in 2021, has suffered some delays in production for its second season. It can be safely stated that the second season of the series will conclude next year, although the schedule for a possible third season is still up in the air.
Fallout (April 12th)
Adaptation of the popular video game franchise of the same name, Fallout follows a refugee survivor of a nuclear apocalypse who ventures into a world transformed into a wasteland populated by mutants, scavengers, and other potential dangers.
Developed by the creators of Westworld, a project led by a team with a wide range of different television experiences, Fallout aims to replicate the model established by The Last of Us in 2023. Will it be successful? Only time will tell.
Hazbin Hotel (January 19th)
Hazbin Hotel, a high-quality animated musical series that already has a consolidated audience, is a workplace sitcom set in a hotel for damned souls living in hell.
Although it may sound like a rather heavy concept, the series proves to be remarkably light on its feet, especially considering the musical elements of its premise.
With a cast of voices that includes many heavyweight talents from Broadway, as well as an infinitely creative team of writers who are always looking for new and inventive ideas, there is a reason why Hazbin Hotel has become a sort of cult phenomenon.
