In terms of films and TV series to watch, autumn holds many surprises in store. There are a variety of streaming platforms to subscribe to in order to keep up, to watch your favourite series, or simply to get to know new ones.
Right after the summer, Amazon’s streaming platform, Prime Video, guarantees a palimpsest full of alternatives not to be missed. We have compiled a guide of five of the most interesting TV series not to be missed this autumn. Since September, Prime Video’s offer has been enriched with films and TV series, some of which are already available as of 1 September, but from October things start to get even more exciting.
Among the most popular series is certainly The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. This fantasy series, based on the novel The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, debuted last September on Prime Video with just two episodes. The other six will debut every Friday until the season’s conclusion, scheduled for 14 October.
