August is barreling on, and the best streaming services are bursting with a fresh crop of new films and TV series for us to binge on our couches. Prime Video regularly updates its already extensive streaming library every month, and August 2026 was no exception.
Given how many new shows have popped up, I’m rounding up the best of the bunch to help you skip the scrolling and get to streaming. Of everything added, there’s only three worth adding to your watchlist: Alan Ritchson’s high-octane return in “Reacher” season 4, the messy YA drama “Sterling Point” that everyone is talking about, and the crossover episode you never expected, “The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls.”
So without further ado, here are the three best new to Prime Video shows to binge this weekend.

‘Reacher’ season 4
What it’s about: Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is back in Philadelphia, where he witnesses a woman (Karen Kwong-Chip), kill herself on a subway car. He’s hounded by police, federal agents and the CIA, who all think she slipped him something before she died. Our action hero gets drawn into a conspiracy that goes all the way to the very top. Season 4 adapts Lee Child’s “Gone Tomorrow,” sending Reacher on a dangerous search for answers, and along the way, he’s forced to confront his guilt over the woman’s fate that set everything in motion.
Why you should watch it: This crime thriller delivers in all the ways you’d expect — and much of the credit goes to the perfectly cast Alan Ritchson, who kills it yet again.

‘Sterling Point’
What it’s about: “Sterling Point” is a grounded YA mystery drama starring Ella Rubin as Annie Jacobson, a 17-year-old who inherits a remote island in Canada from her estranged grandfather. She secretly travels to the mysterious property to figure out why their grandfather chose her and learn more about her family history. While she’s digging up long-buried secrets, she gets caught in a love triangle and discovers that a girl named Ramona (Amélie Hoeferle) is already staying there and appears to have a connection to her own family.
Why you should watch it: “Sterling Point” debuted with a strong 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and has been getting plenty of buzz on social media. It’s a messy coming-of-age teen drama that’s fun to lose yourself — and at only eight episodes, it’s perfect for a weekend binge.

‘The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls’
What it’s about: The famous survivalist Bear Grylls takes Jesus and his followers on devilishly tough adventures in the deserts of Utah. Or rather, he takes the actors who play them in “The Chosen,” the multi-season series about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, along with showrunner Dallas Jenkins as they discuss faith and nature’s trials and tribulations.
Why you should watch it: I’m not sure who exactly was clamoring for Bear Grylls content, but this seems made in a lab for men with religious trauma.
