Watch all seasons now.
John Wick: Chapter 4
This is the highest-rated movie in the critically acclaimed franchise. So it’s safe to say it’s a must-see.
The fourth instalment sees Keanu Reeves reprise his role as John Wick, who has uncovered a path to defeating the High Table.
But before he can earn his freedom, Wick must confront a new enemy with powerful alliances across the globe and forces that turn old friends into new foes.
It’s action cinema at its bloody finest and offers a hair-raising crescendo to wrap this saga into a nice little bow.
You can now watch every film in the franchise on Prime Video.
Citadel
Prime Video’s globe-trotting spy espionage series, Citadel, is packed with exciting, action-packed sequences, a superb cast and an impressive storyline that will have you frantically holding on with bated breath.
The Russo Brothers, Anthony and Joe, are at the helm of this series and considering they've directed films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this blockbuster series is a non-stop action feast. You now watch every episode of the first season now.
The Terminal List
This action thriller series will raise the hairs on the back of your neck.
Starring Chris Pratt, Terminal List follows a former Navy SEAL officer who seeks to avenge the murder of his family.
It’s definitely not the wise-cracking, goofy Pratt we’re used to seeing on screen, as this Navy SEAL has nothing to lose while coming up against a government harbouring some dark truths. Watch the first season on Prime now.
The Continental: From The World of John Wick
Set in 1970s New York City, The Continental explores the origin of the hotel-for-assassins centrepiece of the John Wick universe seen through the perspective of a young Winston Scott, played by Colin Woodell.
If you’re not ready to say goodbye to the John Wick franchise just yet, this one’s for you.
The Boys
Hands down, this has to be one of the best TV shows that has come out in recent years. Based on the comic book of the same name, The Boys is set in a reality where superheroes work as public servants to make the world safer.
The only thing is these supes are corrupted by their celebrity status, prompting a team of superhero vigilantes to go up against them.
And in the words of Gwen Stefani, it’s ‘B-A-N-A-N-A-S’. The first three seasons are available to watch now.
Gen V
From the world of The Boys comes Gen V, a dark comedy live-action series set in America's only college exclusively for young adult superheroes run by Vought International.
While we meet a new generation of supes, this is no regular coming-of-age story.
Part college drama, part Hunger Games, this series is bound to have you hooked from the very first episode.
Again, these are only some of the epic action TV series and movies that Prime Video has on offer.
You name it. It’s on Prime. Sign up here and start your 30-day free trial.
