The top shows worth binge-watching this weekend on include the return of the Russo Brothers' spy action thriller series that just hit #2 worldwide. While The Boys continues its global domination for another consecutive week ahead of its series finale later this month, there are still plenty of other new and trending Prime Video original series that are enjoyable from start to finish.
Whether you're looking for a hard-hitting action series or an epic melodrama based on a bestselling novel, ScreenRant has you covered with the greatest and most relevant streaming options for this weekend, May 8–10, 2026. All of these series are available to start streaming right now and have either achieved massive global viewership or critical acclaim, making them all binge-worthy must-watches.
Good Omens
Good Omens is quietly one of the most critically acclaimed and fan-approved series on Prime Video, sporting a near-perfect audience score of 94%. The single-episode season 3 finale of Good Omens officially arrives next week on May 13, making now the perfect time to re-watch or dive into the dark comedy/fantasy epic series if you haven't already. The series finale will be roughly 90 minutes long.
Good Omens features performances by David Tennant, Martin Sheen, Jon Hamm, Frances McDormand, and more, and is based on a celebrated book of the same name. The series begins with the imminent end of the world, which brings two rivals turned friends – an angel named Aziraphale, played by Martin Sheen, and a demon named Crowley, played by David Tennant – together to prevent Armageddon. The long-awaited finale to Good Omens, which originally debuted in 2019, will finally bring closure to one of Prime Video's best and most imaginative original series.
The House Of The Spirits
remains one of the most-watched Prime Video shows throughout May 2026 and currently ranks #4 on the streamer's worldwide viewership chart. Based on a bestselling novel, The House of the Spirits earned critical acclaim and a score of 92% following its 3-part premiere in late April. New episodes of the 8-part series are released in batches, with the 3-part finale set to arrive on May 12.
The House of the Spirits follows three generations of a South American family who are all connected by a hidden spiritual, even psychic, power. The epic series is widely considered an achievement and a more thoughtfully crafted adaptation of the source material than the star-studded 1993 movie that featured performances by Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons, and more. The House of the Spirits should continue to be one of the most successful new streaming series throughout the first half of the month on Prime Video.
Citadel
after its first season sharply divided critics and audiences. Based on its initial viewership, it appears to be an instant streaming success and is currently the #2 most-watched series on Prime Video heading into the weekend, trailing only The Boys, which it is unlikely to surpass. All things considered, this is a major win for the Russo Bros' expensive spy action thriller series after two of the franchise's 2026 spinoffs were canceled, placing the fate of the series in the hands of season 2.
