The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!
Amazon’s Prime Video next month (January 2026) plans to add 81 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:
The Night Manager (Season Two)
When to Watch: January 11
Who’s In It: Tom Hiddleston, Diego Calva
Who Made It: BBC/Amazon
In season one, Tom Hiddleston stars as a former British intelligence officer working as a hotel night manager who’s recruited to help bring down a dangerous international arms dealer (Hugh Laurie from House). The six-episode series was a taut thriller with riveting performances from Hiddleston, Laurie and Elizabeth Debicki as the femme fatale caught between the two men. In season two, Hiddleston is living in hiding under an assumed name but soon must return to action when he spots another dangerous arms dealer (Diego Calva from Babylon) up to no good.
The Wrecking Crew (2026)
When to Watch: January 28
Who’s In It: Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista
Who Made It: Amazon/MGM Studios
Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista play estranged half-brothers in Hawaii who must set aside their differences to investigate their father’s murder. Along the way, they discover a dangerous conspiracy and some unsettling family secrets. Dim the lights, and your expectations, and you’ll have a good time with this action comedy.
Steal (2026)
When to Watch: January 21
Who’s In It: Sophie Turner
Who Made It: Amazon/MGM Studios
Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) stars as Zara, a lowly worker bee at a pension fund company whose life is turned upside down when the office is raided by a band of violent thieves. The bad guys force Zara to initiate a series of stock trades which siphon billions from the fund. But Zara’s horror doesn’t end when the thieves leave as she begins to investigate who’s behind the robbery. The six-episode series looks like a winner for fans of fast-paced, character-driven crime thrillers. (Sophie Turner from Steal is in the featured image at the top of the article.)
