When it comes to the most popular Amazon Prime Video shows and movies, there usually isn’t a lot of turnover every week.
If Prime Video has a hit original series or film, it tends to stay on the list for weeks at a time. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t some great programming.
The Watch With Us team has put together our picks for the three popular Amazon Prime Video shows and movies that you need to watch now.
Our picks include a hilarious new action comedy, a YA mystery thriller and a sci-fi action film that’s breaking out on Amazon more than it ever did in theaters.
21 Must-Watch Movies on Amazon Prime Video Right Now (June 2025)
‘Deep Cover’ (2025)
Deep Cover isn’t a movie that takes itself too seriously, but there are just enough stakes to throw the main characters into real danger. Bryce Dallas Howard leads the cast as Kat, an actress and comedian whose dreams of success have largely died. Now she’s an improv teacher without any direction in life until DS Billings (Sean Bean) convinces her to use her improvisational skills to help him in his police investigations.
Kat recruits two of her students, Marlon (Orlando Bloom) and Hugh (Nick Mohammed), to join her undercover, but this unlikely trio soon find themselves in way over their heads. They’ve convinced the criminal underworld that they’re major players, and getting everyone out with their lives is going to be a real challenge, even for Kat.
Deep Cover is streaming on Prime Video.
‘We Were Liars’ (2025)
Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind) comes from an extremely wealthy family in We Were Liars. How wealthy are the Sinclairs? Let’s just say that the show is largely set on their private island, Beechwood Island. And yet there are some things that even the Sinclair family can’t buy, nor can they dissuade Cadence from pursuing a relationship with her longtime friend, Gat Patil (Shubham Maheshwari).
