Fans of classic rock just can’t live and let die — which is a good thing since Prime Video is debuting a new documentary about 83-year-old Paul McCartney’s fertile post-Beatles career (which included hits like “Live and Let Die”). The Amazon-owned streamer is also rolling out a doc about Britain’s King Charles III, 77, and a second season of the crime series featuring James Patterson’s homicide detective Alex Cross. Put these 10 highlights on your watchlist for the month. 

Coming Feb. 4

Relationship Goals, PG-13

Former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland stars in this rom-com as a TV producer who has the inside track to land a job running New York’s top-rated morning show — only to find out that she’s competing against her ex (Clifford “Method Man” Smith Jr.), who insists that he’s no longer the jerk he used to be thanks to a self-help book Relationship Goals (a real-life bestseller published in 2020). Does she still have feelings for him besides bitterness? And will her career ambitions blind her to the possibility of true love?

Coming Feb. 6

Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision (2026)

Great Britain’s King Charles III, 77, has long bucked convention by advocating for environmental causes and sustainable living, from the forests of Guyana to remote areas of India. Now the royal’s longtime activism for protecting the planet gets an affectionate examination in this documentary backed by The King’s Foundation.

Coming Feb. 11

Cross, Season 2

Aldis Hodge returns as James Patterson’s famed homicide detective Alex Cross, who uses his knowledge of forensic psychology to track down a ruthless former-judge-turned-vigilante killer (Jeanine Mason) targeting corrupt billionaires, including a supposedly do-good plutocrat (Matthew Lillard, 55) who made his fortune through shady business dealings.

Coming Feb. 12

Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association, Season 1

Basketball icon Julius “Dr. J” Erving, 75, and rapper-actor Common are among the producers of this four-part docuseries about the turbulent nine-year stretch when the NBA was challenged by a rival league, the American Basketball Association. Before its collapse in 1976, the league sparked such innovations as the three-point shot, the 30-second shot clock and the annual slam-dunk contest. Now the innovative operation, which was the first home of six-time NBA champion team San Antonio Spurs, gets its due.

Coming Feb. 14

Perry Mason, Seasons 1-9

Beginning in 1957 and stretching over the next nine years, gravel-voiced Raymond Burr’s Perry Mason became TV’s most popular crime solver. The criminal defense lawyer, assisted by his resourceful secretary, Della Street (Barbara Hale), brought Erle Stanley Garner’s bestselling detective novels to life and helped establish the standard for courtroom dramas.

Coming Feb. 18

56 Days, Season 1

In this sexy psychological whodunit, a young man and woman  (Avan Jogia and Dove Cameron) meet cute in a supermarket and fall hard for each other — but then an unrecognizable, intentionally decomposed body is discovered in his apartment 56 days later. Did he kill her? Did she kill him? The eight-episode series follows the first day of the police investigation while flashing back to episodes in the couple’s intense and fraught relationship. Talk about withholding.

Coming Feb. 21

The CEO Club, Season 1

This docuseries zeroes in on women who shattered the glass ceiling as trailblazing CEOs in a wide variety of industries, from Serena Williams and Shop.com CEO Loren Ridinger, 57, to jewelry pioneer Isabela Rangel Grutman, model-turned–fashion designer Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, 59, and Latin pop star Thalia, 54. The subjects here may have had a leg up with lucrative careers in other (often related) fields or family connections, but they still faced pushback as women in traditionally male positions of authority.

Coming Feb. 26

The Bluff, R

Priyanka Chopra Jonas stars in this swashbuckling period adventure as a retired pirate named Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden trying to live quietly with her family in the Cayman Islands.

Expect plenty of swordplay along with panoramic scenes of Cayman Brac’s Skull Cave and soaring bluffs.

The Gray House, Season 1

Acclaimed auteur Roland Joffé, 80, directs all eight episodes of this fact-based series about four women in the Confederate South — from a Virginia socialite to a notorious courtesan — who surreptitiously band together as Union spies and operators of the Underground Railroad shuttling Black Americans North from slavery to freedom. The show, executive produced by Morgan Freeman, 88, and Kevin Costner, 71, boasts a starry cast that includes Mary-Louise Parker, 61, Ben Vereen, 79, and Keith David, 69.

Coming Feb. 27

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run

Classic rock fans, rejoice!
