As the summer heats up, Amazon’s Prime Video offers a host of new shows to keep you indoors, from a new season of Clarkson’s Farm to a documentary on the pockets of good news in conservation efforts around the globe narrated by Demi Moore, 63, and Woody Harrelson, 64. Here are the 11 top movies and series to add to your Prime Video watchlist.

Coming June 1

12 Angry Men (1957, NR)

The granddaddy of courtroom dramas — set in the un-air-conditioned jury room of a big-city criminal trial — still holds up as an expertly crafted story that extols the virtues of the American legal system (despite the anachronism of an all-male jury). Henry Fonda is the model of decency and decorum, nudging his fellow jurors to do the right thing even as tempers flare.

Paths of Glory (1957, NR)

Stanley Kubrick’s grim and divisive anti-war movie — produced seven years before his Cold War satire Dr. Strangelove — stars Kirk Douglas as a French colonel in World War I who defends his troops in a court-martial trial after they refuse a suicide mission ordered by commanders.

Coming June 3

Clarkson’s Farm, Season 5

Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, 66, faces new challenges maintaining his 1,000-acre farm in West Oxfordshire, England. First, there are cuts in the U.K.’s agricultural budget that have riled up the nation’s farming community. Then there are the efforts to introduce new technology to the operations at Diddly Squat, which send Kaleb abroad on his first trip outside the country.

The Legend of Vox Machina, Season 4

The acclaimed animated fantasy series for grownups returns with the band of misfits known as Vox Machina divided and pursuing their own agendas. But when a long-dormant evil resurfaces to threaten the world of Exandria, the gang agree to bury their internal parental issues and inflict enormous amounts of property damage. The series, based on the first campaign of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role, is expected to wind up with the already-in-the-works fifth season. 

Coming June 6

​Groundswell (2026)

Demi Moore, 63, and Woody Harrelson, 64, narrate this documentary that goes to five continents to explore how people are confronting climate change, species extinction and the loss of soil. The film, which premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, sidesteps the doom and gloom to focus on how some pioneering folks are confronting the problem head-on to reverse the damage we’ve inflicted on the planet.

Coming June 10

Every Year After, Season 1

Who says you can’t go home again? For six summers, Percy (Sadie Soverall) and Sam (Matt Cornett) had a tight-knit friendship based on their mutual love of the beachside community of Barry’s Bay and books (medical textbooks for him, horror for her). Romance blossomed and then collapsed spectacularly. Now Percy finds herself drawn back to Barry’s Bay after a decade away. The eight-part series, based on Carley Fortune’s best-selling 2022 novel of the same name, similarly unfolds over six summers and one fateful weekend.

Coming June 11

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. (2023, PG-13)

It’s hard to believe that it took more than half a century to bring Judy Blume’s seminal 1970 novel about an 11-year-old suburban girl’s journey through puberty to the screen. But here it is, with all of its heroine’s innocence and inquisitiveness — not to mention the nostalgia-inducing visual markers of the 1970s setting — very much intact. Bonus: Rachel McAdams is, well, pitch perfect as Margaret’s devoted and diligent mom.

Coming June 21

​NASCAR on Prime at Naval Base Coronado

Prime’s live-streamed coverage of the new NASCAR season includes a first for the sport: a race on an active military base, the massive Naval Base Coronado in California’s San Diego County. Coverage revs up at 2:30 p.m. ET, with Adam Alexander calling the race beside Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte.

Coming June 23

Priscilla (2023, R)

Don’t expect a standard biopic of Priscilla Presley from Sofia Coppola, 55. Instead, settle in for a series of impressionistic episodes from the life of Elvis’s teenage bride (played by Cailee Spaeny with mesmerizing delicacy). Jacob Elordi struts around as the decade-older King of Rock, but our focus is on Spaeny whose her wide-eyed enthusiasm gives way to the darker sides of fame and the realization that not all girlhood wishes ought to be fulfilled.

Coming June TBA

​Would You Rather: Decide to Survive, Season 1

British comedian Romesh Ranganathan hosts this comedic reality series in which two teams of online influencers compete in real-life challenges based on classic hypotheticals. Would you rather be invisible or be able to fly? Fight one giant duck or 1,000 tiny ducks? The absurd challenges not only dictate who advances and who gets sent home, but also what the contestants get to eat. 

Project Hail Mary (2026, PG-13)

In this charming hit that opened in theaters in March, Ryan Gosling stars as a junior high school science teacher sent to space on a mission to prevent the sun from burning out. Available now on Prime to rent for $19.99, Project Hail Mary will become free to stream for Amazon Prime members in June at a date to be announced. (Come back for updates!)
