The top 3 shows worth watching on Prime Video this weekend, May 29–31, 2026, include a popular spy thriller, a viral rom-com, and a new #1 worldwide hit. Following the massive finale of The Boys, which became one of Prime Video’s most-watched series ever after its season 5 rollout this spring, Prime Video still has plenty of great streaming options to keep viewers entertained all weekend long.
Last weekend, The Boys topped ScreenRant’s best shows to watch on Prime Video list, along with The Legend of Vox Machina, a masterful animated series that will return with its highly anticipated fourth season on Wednesday, June 3. In the meantime, these three Prime Video shows are all trending around the world right now and are perfect choices to binge, led by an epic new Nic Cage series that currently ranks #1 on global charts.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series is trending in the United States once again following the recent release of the franchise’s first sequel movie on Prime, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War. The sequel has been the #1 most-watched Prime Video movie since it was released on May 20, despite mixed reviews and a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 44%. This is a vast decrease from the 4-season original series that ran from 2018 to 2023 and earned an 80% RT score overall.
Regardless of the sequel’s pitfalls, the original series remains one of the most beloved action thrillers on Prime Video, right up there with modern classics like Reacher and The Terminal List. John Krasinski, who is still celebrated for his role as Jim on The Office, stars as a rising CIA analyst who is suddenly thrown into the dangerous world of espionage. Much like Netflix’s popular series The Recruit, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan has a full package of action, thrills, and crime, and a great supporting cast including Michael Kelly and Wendell Pierce.
Off Campus
Off Campus has been one of the most-viewed Prime Video shows on the platform since its massive debut earlier this month. Often billed as a Heated Rivalry replacement, the series features elements of teen/college drama, romantic comedy, and competitive sports themes. Like several of Prime Video’s other successful young adult shows, Off Campus is based on a bestselling book series and has plenty of source material to expand with more seasons.
While culturally influential shows like Euphoria come to an end this weekend, Off Campus arrives as a breath of fresh air that is giving rise to its own slate of notable stars. Among them are Ella Bright, who plays series protagonist Hannah Wells, and Mika Abdalla, who plays Hannah’s best friend Allie Hayes. The books switch protagonists to focus on different students at a fictional college, so expect much more to come out of this series in the future as it continues to be Prime Video’s #2 trending show heading into this weekend.
Spider-Noir
Spider-Noir is undoubtedly the best new show to watch on Prime Video this weekend, with all eight episodes ready to binge from start to finish right now. Starring legendary actor Nicolas Cage, Spider-Noir is exactly what it sounds like, blending elements of classic black and white film noir with the modern superhero phenomenon, namely the Spider-Verse. Cage plays Ben Reilly / The Spider, a private investigator in 1930s New York with a heroic, web-slinging alter-ego.
