I love fall because it makes starting a new TV series feel even more appealing. As the temperature drops and the evenings get darker, it\u2019s the perfect excuse to settle in with a blanket and binge a few episodes. If you\u2019re not sure what to watch next, Prime Video\u2019s<\/a> top 10 shows is a good place to start. There\u2019s always something new climbing the chart, but not everything in the trending list is necessarily worth your time. I\u2019ve picked out three shows that deserve a spot on your watchlist this week.<\/p>\n

Those picks cover a little bit of everything, from an action-thriller following a former investigator as she tackles a dangerous new case, to a fantasy adventure inspired by the legend of King Arthur and Merlin. There\u2019s also a crime drama set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where a small-town sheriff finds himself investigating a series of serious cases. Whether you\u2019re after action, fantasy or something a little more grounded, these three should keep you occupied one evening.<\/p>\n

This list is based on the Prime Video U.S. top 10 shows as of Wednesday, September 23, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cReacher\u201d has been dethroned from the No. 1 spot, with its newest spinoff \u201cNeagley\u201d taking the crown as the most-watched series on Prime Video this week so far. Unlike the original series, which adapts Lee Child\u2019s novels, \u201cNeagley\u201d is based on a completely original story created specifically for TV. Maria Sten takes center stage, reprising her role as Frances Neagley as she investigates a suspicious death. Alan Ritchson also returns as Jack Reacher in a supporting guest role, which is an added bonus for \u201cReacher\u201d fans.<\/p>\n

Frances Neagley (Sten) is a former Army investigator and Jack Reacher\u2019s colleague who now works as a private investigator in Chicago. When her childhood friend Tommy dies after apparently walking in front of a train, the police initially treat it as an accident. However, a mysterious message from Tommy makes Neagley question what really happened. She begins investigating his death, uncovering connections to her past and finding herself up against people determined to stop her from getting answers.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re more into fantasy and are patiently waiting for the return of \u201cThe Rings of Power,\u201d then you should check out \u201cThe Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin.\u201d This seven-episode historical fantasy series, created for DailyWire, is based on Stephen R. Lawhead\u2019s celebrated novel series and marks a major move into high-budget independent genre TV for the platform. Rather than leaning into the late-medieval, shining-armor aesthetic that\u2019s become common in Hollywood\u2019s Arthurian retellings, the series takes a much grittier approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlue Ridge\u201d is a neo-Western crime drama produced by Imagicomm Entertainment and originally broadcast on INSP, as well as streaming platforms including Prime Video. The series serves as an episodic continuation of the 2020 feature film of the same name, following small-town law enforcement in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It largely follows a case-of-the-week structure, meaning each episode brings a new case for the sheriff to investigate. If you prefer shows that are easy to dip in and out of without having to remember a complicated ongoing plot, this could be a good pick.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

Justin Wise (Johnathon Schaech) is an ex-Green Beret who becomes sheriff of a small town in North Carolina\u2019s Blue Ridge Mountains. After settling into his new role while co-parenting his teenage daughter, Justin\u2019s routine is disrupted when the local police station is burned down under suspicious circumstances. As he and his deputies investigate, they uncover a string of crimes and increasingly dangerous cases involving the town\u2019s residents. Episodes follow Justin as he investigates murders, kidnappings, robberies and other incidents.<\/p>\n
