Amazon’s streaming service, Prime Video, offers a bit of something for every taste — including a fresh take on Sherlock Holmes that follows the legendary detective’s early years at Oxford University. In addition, Nicole Kidman, 58, dons a lab coat as the forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta in a new mystery series based on Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling novels. House of David picks up the life of the biblical hero after his fateful encounter with Goliath, while three judges wrestle with each other for verdicts in the courtroom series Tribunal Justice.

​Here are the best new series and movies to add to your viewing queue.

Coming Mar. 2

Siren’s Kiss, Season 1

This Korean-language cat-and-mouse thriller follows an investigator (Wi Ha-joon, Squid Game) who digs into a case involving both insurance fraud and a series of murders. He also becomes enmeshed with one of the prime suspects: a stylish art auctioneer (Park Min-young, Marry My Husband) who has the unfortunate habit of getting romantically attached to guys who wind up dead.

Tribunal Justice, Season 3

Why settle for one judge when you can have three? This courtroom reality show, created and executive produced by Judge Judy Sheindlin, 83, gathers a tribunal of three judges to arbitrate cases — and come to a compromise when they inevitably find themselves on different pages of the law book.

Coming Mar. 4

Young Sherlock, Season 1

Guy Ritchie, 57, the kinetic director of films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, is no stranger to Sherlock Holmes. He directed two big-screen adaptations starring Robert Downey Jr., 60. Now he returns to the iconic detective in an origin story starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin as a rebellious Oxford University student. This action-packed adventure also involves a knife-wielding princess (Zine Tseng) and Sherlock’s future archnemesis, James Moriarty (Dónal Finn). The cast includes Colin Firth, 65, Natascha McElhone, 54, and Hero’s real-life uncle Joseph Fiennes, 55.

Coming Mar. 11

Scarpetta , Season 1

Kay Scarpetta, the forensic pathologist at the center of Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling book franchise, makes the leap to TV in a split-time series. Nicole Kidman, 58, dons the lab coat of Scarpetta as she’s forced to reexamine an early case that established her reputation. She’s joined by a police detective (Bobby Cannavale, 55), an FBI profiler (Simon Baker, 56) and her sister (Jamie Lee Curtis, 67). The show features many flashbacks to the 1990s with younger actors (including Cannavale’s real-life son Jake) playing earlier versions of the key characters.

Coming Mar. 13

NWSL on Prime

Prime Video kicks off its 27-game coverage of the new National Women’s Soccer League season with an 8 p.m. ET matchup between the Portland Thorns and the Washington Spirit (the runners-up to Gotham FC in last season’s championship). Look for some of the sport’s top players to hone their skills ahead of the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

Coming Mar. 19

Meal Ticket (2026)

Since 1977, many of basketball’s biggest stars first staked their claim by competing as high school seniors at the McDonald’s All American Games. This documentary focuses on the 2022 and 2023 contests while exploring the remarkable history of the event that catapulted names like LeBron, Kobe and Shaq into the spotlight. Interviewees include NBA and WNBA greats such as Grant Hill, Jalen Rose, Patrick Ewing, 63, Breanna Stewart, Alonzo Mourning and A’ja Wilson.

Coming Mar. 20

Deadloch, Season 2

This quirky Australian crime series was one of the biggest surprises of last year — a twisty, crocodile-filled murder mystery set in remote Tasmania. In the new season, Detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) find themselves in the Outback of Australia’s sweltering Northern Territory investigating the death of Eddie’s former police partner. No sooner do they start asking questions when another corpse turns up.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, Season 1

Three years ago, Jury Duty stole a page from The Truman Show by placing a regular person on the “jury” in an entirely staged trial where everyone around him was an actor — including X-Men star James Marsden, playing himself as a fellow jury member. The comedic documentary-style series proved a sleeper hit that earned multiple Emmy nominations. Now the team is back with a new show centered on a corporate off-site event where all the staffers are actors except for a newly hired temp who’s unaware that the shenanigans around him are all orchestrated for the camera.

Coming Mar. 25

Bait , Season 1

In this new comedy series, Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) stars as a struggling actor who lands an audition for a major film role — Bond, James Bond — that’s not traditionally played by Pakistani Brits like him. As word of his possible big career break spreads, he finds himself bombarded by friends, family and strangers who all seem to have an opinion on his prospects.

Pretty Lethal (2026)

Five sharp-elbowed ballerinas are headed to a big dance competition when their bus breaks down in a remote forest, forcing them to seek shelter in a creepy roadside inn run by a former ballet prodigy with a goulash-thick Russian accent (Uma Thurman, 55). Then things turn deadly, and the girls must set aside their differences and lace up their toe shoes for some serious combat.

Coming Mar. 27

House of David, Season 2

When we last saw the shepherd boy David (Michael Iskander) in the Season 1 finale, he had been transformed into a full-fledged Iron Age warrior following his showdown with the giant Goliath. In the eight-episode second season of this biblical epic, the future of Israel is on the line as Saul’s reign falters and alliances shift. The cast also includes Avatar alum Stephen Lang, 73, as Samuel, Ayelet Zurer, 56 (Munich) as Queen Ahinoam and Oded Fehr, 55 (The Mummy), as Abner — the powerful cousin of Saul who fatefully shifts his allegiance to David.
