It’s summer in the USA and Amazon is taking it pretty easy in terms of fresh content. Sure, we’re getting a Terminal List prequel series, a four-part Upload finale, an Eddie Murphy crime comedy, and some licensed classics, but nothing that really screams “must watch,” if you catch our drift. Let’s hope all the good folks at Prime Video get the rest they need and return to the office feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready to deliver the goods come September! In the meantime, here’s the full release schedule for August 2025, followed by highlights.

Best New Series on Amazon Prime Video
This August, Prime Video debuts a sports docuseries in the vein of Welcome to Wrexham. That’s joined by new seasons of fan favourites as well as a prequel to the blockbuster thriller series The Terminal List. Here’s a closer look.
Built in Birmingham: Brady & The Blues
Release Date: 1 August
Anyone who loves a great underdog story will love this new docuseries about the Birmingham City Football Club. Down but not out, the team experiences a drastic transformation when it comes under new ownership, with sports legend Tom Brady snagging a minority stake. Watch in awe as a struggling football club hits the reset button from the top down, paving the way for a record-breaking season.
007: Road to a Million, Season 2
Release Date: 22 August
According to legend, actor Brian Cox thought he was being cast in a new James Bond movie when he signed on to this spy-themed reality series. The money must have been good enough either way, because he’ll return as host – or shall we say villain – for this upcoming second season. Follow nine teams of two as they race around the globe, coming up against Bond-inspired challenges as they compete for a hefty cash prize.
Upload, Season 4
Release Date: 25 August
This sci-fi comedy series takes place in a future where people can upload themselves into a virtual afterlife known as Lakeview. Upon his premature death, computer engineer Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) enters the heavenly domain only to encounter a slew of hellish problems. The series will conclude with a four-part finale event, during which sentient AI runs amok and various characters are put to the test.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf
Release Date: 27 August
We were pleasantly surprised by The Terminal List, a limited thriller series about a mission gone awry and the gripping events that followed. It was based on a novel by Jack Carr, who co-created this origin story with Season One creator and showrunner David Digilio. Navy SEAL Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) is recruited by a secret CIA agency and exposed to the darker side of warfare. And before you ask: yes, Chris Pratt will appear as James Reece, the hero of the original series.
Best New Movies on Prime Video
Prime Video isn’t dropping a lot of fresh movie content this August, but they’re still bringing plenty of quality entertainment. If you haven’t caught acclaimed films like Licorice Pizza or The Wolf of Wall Street, now’s your chance. Plus, Eddie Murphy teams up with Pete Davidson for a brand-new action comedy. Here are your highlights.
Licorice Pizza
Release Date: 1 August
We’re always ready to pick up whatever director Paul Thomas Anderson is throwing down, including this nostalgic coming-of-age dramedy. Loosely drawn from the true stories of producer Gary Goetzman, it follows teen actor Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) through the San Fernando Valley in 1973. Alana Haim co-stars as 25-year-old Alana Kane, who joins Valentine for a series of misadventures that seem impossible to achieve by today’s standards. While we liked but didn’t love the movie at first viewing, now might be the right time for a rewatch, if only to once again behold Bradley Cooper’s bonkers performance as real-life figure Jon Peters.
The Pickup
Release Date: 6 August
In this new action comedy, a pair of mismatched armoured truck drivers (Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson) are plunged into a world of crime and chaos. We just caught the trailer and feel like we’ve already watched the entire movie, so well done on that front, Amazon. The trailer was also littered with just about every generic trope that ChatGPT might muster on a lazy afternoon, making us all the more dubious. Word of mouth will have to be really strong for us to check this one out.
Conclave
Release Date: 9 August
This Oscar-winning drama goes behind the scenes at the Vatican during the election of a new pope. Ralph Fiennes plays Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, who must navigate treacherous waters as he oversees the election process. At the heart of the story is a shocking secret with grave implications for the Catholic Church at large.
