The Rings of Power season 3 trailer and God of War recasting news may have been the biggest Prime Video announcements recently, but don't let those take away from another solid month of content. Amazon is bringing a slate of popular movies to the platform starting on August 1, followed by several originals, WNBA games, and Yankee games worth watching if you already have an Amazon Prime subscription.
We've highlighted some of the best things to watch on Prime Video this August, but if you're just looking for a detailed list of everything coming this month, you can jump to the full release schedule by day .
What's Worth Watching?
Challengers - August 1
If you don't think you're getting enough Zendaya this year (she's in The Odyssey , Spider-Man: Brand New Day , and Dune: Part 3 ), you should definitely check out Challengers. It's a classic love triangle trope wrapped into a tennis movie that IGN's reviewer called "one of the sexiest and most electric dramas of 2024".
Although Challengers initially came to Prime Video back in 2024, it left the platform in late 2025 and hasn't been available to stream since.

Small Soldiers - August 1
Back in 1998, Small Soldiers was one of the coolest movies about action figures. The general storyline is that military AI microchips were accidentally placed into rival action figure lines and the toys get brought to life. If you haven't already seen it, it's absolutely worth a watch. And if you have already seen it, just how long has it been? This movie is a blast of nostalgia, and the recent 4K remaster last year only makes it better.
Editor's Note : Small Soldiers was one of the most popular 4K Blu-ray releases of 2025 .
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - August 2
The latest Planet of the Apes movie has been out for more than two years now, but it's still a great film to watch if your a fan of the franchise. The story takes place a full 300 years after War for the Planet of the Apes after the apes have fully taken over human civilization and technology. In case you didn't already know, these movies are technically disconnected from the original Planet of the Apes timeline and can be watched without context from those movies.

Reacher Season 4 - August 12
Alan Ritchson is returning for yet another season of the popular Jack Reacher series, and he's got plenty of punches left in him. Reacher's fourth season is based on the 13th book in Lee Child's series and is looking to be just as action packed as the first three seasons so far. In addition to these new episodes, Amazon also announced that a Reacher spin-off about Frances Neagley will be arriving in September as a follow up.
