Prime Video stacks September with big franchises, buzzy originals, and live sports
Amazon is making a play for your entire month. The service opens September with a wall of beloved films, drops fresh originals every few days, and keeps the weekends busy with live games. If you’re wondering what to watch first, the short answer is: a lot. The long answer is below—your complete guide to Prime Video September 2025.
The headline on day one is a proper action feast: the full Bourne run—The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), and The Bourne Legacy (2012). If you grew up on shaky-cam chases and safe-deposit secrets, this is your comfort rewatch. The library drop widens from there with prestige staples like Casino (1995), Rain Man (1988), and The Great Escape (1963), the kind of classics that still hold up on a random Tuesday night.
Horror and thrillers get a September bump too. Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak (2015) brings lush gothic dread, while The First Omen (2024) slides in for a newer jolt. Sci‑fi that actually has something to say? Children of Men delivers bleak brilliance with heart. If you’re lining up a Friday fright marathon, this lineup has the range.
Families aren’t left out. The Boss Baby (2017) is here for the kids—and anyone who has ever negotiated with a toddler like it’s a boardroom standoff. Later in the month, Trolls Band Together (2023) keeps the sing‑along energy high. Add a bowl of popcorn and you’ve got a no‑fuss movie night.
TV fans get two big library wins. All five seasons of Friday Night Lights arrive, which means it’s time to revisit Coach Taylor’s pep talks and the Dillon Panthers’ fourth‑quarter miracles. Then, at month’s end, The Good Place (Seasons 1–4) lands for a complete binge—smart, sweet, and surprisingly philosophical, even when it’s making fork jokes.
On the originals front, the pace is steady. A Working Man (Sept. 3) puts Jason Statham back in his sweet spot: hard‑edged, high‑tension, cleanly cut action. Two days later, Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag (Sept. 5) promises a sleek thriller with stripped‑down style and tight clockwork plotting. If you like your adrenaline without bloat, this double‑header feels made for you.
September also opens up the genre sandbox. The Girlfriend (Sept. 10) leans into psychological tension and messy relationships—expect secrets, unreliable narrators, and the kind of episode endings that make you say "just one more." On the animated side, Helluva Boss brings an adult edge with quickfire jokes and unapologetic bite, a spiritual cousin to Hazbin Hotel that knows exactly what its fans want.
One of the month’s most interesting swings is Hotel Costiera (Sept. 24), a Mediterranean mystery with a cheeky tone. It blends sun‑drenched vibes with a knotty kidnapping case that grows into something bigger. Think oddball investigator, breezy humor, and a puzzle that rewards attention—easy to start, hard to stop.
The returns are just as loud. Gen V Season 2 (Sept. 17) is back to push the campus chaos further inside The Boys universe. Expect sharper satire, wilder power plays, and action that lands with a crunch. If Season 1 built the hierarchy, Season 2 looks set to burn it down. Also arriving: American Horror Story Season 13 (Sept. 24), the long‑running anthology that reinvents itself with each cycle and still knows how to get under your skin.
Live sports keep the calendar honest. Thursday Night Football is locked in for Sept. 11, 18, and 25—short‑week games with playoff implications before summer even fully fades. Prime’s soccer slate keeps momentum with NWSL on Prime on Sept. 5, 12, 19, and 26, a clean weekly rhythm for fans tracking the table and star‑driven storylines. If your group chat lives on goals and game‑winning drives, September delivers.
There’s variety tucked between the tentpoles. Every Minute Counts Season 2 (Sept. 12) caters to the true‑crime and high‑stakes crowd, while Confidence Queen (Sept. 6) plays in the reality/self‑improvement lane—aspirational, messy, addictive. For a change of pace, Larry the Cable Guy: It’s a Gift brings stand‑up comfort food: down‑home bits, blue‑collar timing, and a few quotables for Monday.
The bigger read here is strategy. Prime Video is mixing three lanes—established Hollywood, sharp originals, and live sports—to lock in weekly routines. Drop a fat library on Sept. 1 so people browse. Hit with new series and films every few days so there’s always a "tonight" pick. Use football and NWSL to anchor appointment viewing. It’s a clear push for time spent, not just sign‑ups.
If you’re planning your own queue, here’s a clean way to do it. Start the month with a Bourne sprint, then park Friday Night Lights or The Good Place as your background watch. Slot in A Working Man and Black Bag for weeknight hits. Keep Gen V for the shared watch with friends (yes, the group texts will be spicy). Save Hotel Costiera for a lazy Sunday when you can let the mystery roll.
Parental check: the family titles are safe bets, but Helluva Boss and Gen V are very much adult. If you’re sharing a profile, set those controls before the toddlers find the wrong cartoon with a devilish sense of humor.
For completists, here’s the at‑a‑glance calendar with dates you can copy into your notes app.
