Amazon’s Prime Video continues to be a destination for a wide variety of movies and series, from true crime to spy thrillers to puppet-based comedy. This month, author James Patterson’s most famous detective, Alex Cross, is hitting the streets and the streaming world for a new Prime series set in a noirishly shot Washington, D.C. But that’s not the only familiar name popping up on the Prime schedule: Comedian/ventriloquist Jeff Dunham is having a Dickens of a time re-creating A Christmas Carol with his trunkload of puppet characters.
Here are our picks of the best new offerings on Prime this month.
Coming Nov. 1
Freedom
If you’re a fan of the gentleman thief Lupin from the hit Netflix series, this series explores his real-life model: Bruno Sulak (Lucas Bravo), who became France’s most wanted criminal in the 1980s after a series of nonviolent heists on jewelry stores. Like Lupin, he managed to escape prison several times to reunite with his accomplice and romantic companion — played by Inglourious Basterds star Mélanie Laurent, who also directs.
Coming Nov. 5
Election Night With Brian Williams
In an unusual venture into live news coverage, Amazon Prime has drafted former NBC anchor Brian Williams to host a one-night special on the night of the U.S. presidential election. The coverage will begin at 5 p.m. ET on Election Tuesday, Nov. 5, and feature guest commentators and analysis from across the political spectrum.
Coming Nov. 7
Citadel: Honey Bunny (Season 1)
Prime continues to roll out spinoffs of the Richard Madden/Priyanka Chopra Jonas spy thriller Citadel. This time, the setting shifts to India — where a stuntman in ‘90s Bollywood named Bunny (Indian superstar Varun Dhawan) recruits struggling actress Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) for a side gig that sinks them into the fast-paced espionage world. Thirty years on, the estranged pair reunite to protect their young daughter.
