Prime Video’s catalogue following the New Year is stacked with a number of original offerings, starting 2023 with some drama, some thrill, and some comedy to boot.
Even though Prime Video’s next month’s profferings are numbered, the slate of shows, movies, and docuseries has a variety of genres for different sensibilities and wants.
Most of the shows coming to the platform are sequels, with a new original mystery-thriller series in ‘The Rig’. In the movies department, Prime Video is coming with a rom-com big hitter with Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel’s ‘Shotgun Wedding’.
