Amazon’s Prime Video turned a lot of people off in 2024 by adding commercials to its content, even for paid subscribers. That said, because a Prime Video subscription is bundled with Amazon Prime and the sixteen million other perks that offers, the service is still worth paying attention to. 2025 brings a solid slate to start the year, including hit movies and a few original shows to keep you tuned in. Here are our picks for the best of January on Prime Video and Freevee.
The Rig: Season 2 (Jan. 2)
This British survival horror series kind of snuck under the radar, but The Rig is quite fun with a creepy atmosphere. When the crew of a Scottish oil rig in the North Sea spots a mysterious fog rolling in, they have no idea it contains a parasitic payload that will turn them against each other. The first season ended with a tsunami destroying the rig, but the nightmare’s not over for the surviving crewmembers as they relocate to the Arctic Circle.
The Liberation (Jan. 17)
This Spanish-language black comedy tells the story of a trio of women who, for their own reasons, try to prevent a young actress from filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against a famous director. Things quickly spiral out of control as they wind up in a mysterious medieval village where things are not quite as they seem. The Liberation looks visually stylish and perfectly timed for the post-#MeToo era.
Blink Twice (Jan. 24)
Channing Tatum continues his year of creepy roles as ousted tech CEO Slater King, who brings two young women back to his private island for unsavory reasons in Blink Twice, the directorial debut of Zoe Kravitz. As the ladies begin to notice both memory lapses and odd moments of deja vu, they piece together what’s happening to them and how to escape alive.
