The 2024 Doug Liman reboot of the 1980s cult title Road House world premiered at SXSW. In the movie, Dalton takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems. On Prime Video, Road House pulled in 50 million-plus viewers over its first two weekends. At the time, Amazon reported that as a record — beating the viewership of any original movie they've ever produced for the OTT service. That number eventually rose to 80M viewers worldwide in the movie's first eight weeks on Prime Video.
Upcoming for Bautisa is The Trap House and Amazon MGM Studios' Wrecking Crew opposite Jason Momoa. The pro wrestler-turned-actor also is lensing the Zellner brothers comedy Alpha Gang opposite Cate Blanchett.
Bautista played Drax in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, a role he continued in the Russo brothers' Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame movies. The latter two combined to gross nearly $5 billion at the global box office.
Reps for Bautista and Amazon MGM Studios did not comment.

Hamish Linklater gets to chew a little scenery, as a treat, in Gen V season 2 trailer
Prime Video rolled out the trailer for the second season of its The Boys spin-off Gen V at Comic-Con tonight, including quite a few chances for new cast member Hamish Linklater—possibly best known for Midnight Mass, but who, given the superheroic context, will always be Clark Debussy from Legion to us—getting to deliver dry but enthusiastic monologues as the new dean of Godolkin University. The biggest question hanging over the season, meanwhile, gets addressed pretty quickly—at least, once the show establishes why Jaz Sinclair's Marie Moreau is coming back to this awful place: The trailer seemingly confirms that the magnetically powered Andre (played by the late Chance Perdomo) has died along with his actor between seasons. (With Sean Patrick Thomas, who played the character's father in season one, having a more prominent presence in the footage scene here, and a photo of Andre/Perdomo showing up in the trailer.) In interviews surrounding the panel, the show's cast and crew noted the importance of paying proper tribute to Perdomo, with showrunner Michele Fazekas stating that 'The thing I'm most proud of, when you watch the entirety of the season, is he is there the whole way, in a way that feels real—because it is real. I'm very proud that we honored him beginning to end.' Elsewhere, the promo shows off those things you'd naturally expect to see in the Boys universe: Lots of violence, temptations to power, and some light quipping about destiny and chosen ones. The panel also took time to shore up links between Gen V and The Boys—highlighted when some of the characters from the spin-off showed up, in particularly unpleasant ways, at the climax of The Boys' last season, and then some Boys characters returned the favor in the trailer—in the most overt way possible: Showing off the first teaser for the mothership show's fifth season, showing Antony Starr's Homelander in full dictator mode, promising to transform America into 'a safer, more god-fearing nation.' (And for those who like more Easter eggs, fewer depressing political allegories: Series creator Eric Kripke reportedly also worked in a Supernatural bit, showing off characters played by his old stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins.)

Is ‘The Wheel of Time' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 26, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 26, 2025, 11:18 IST Fans of The Wheel of Time are still buzzing from the epic Season 3 finale that hit Prime Video on April 18, 2025. The show, adapted from Robert Jordan's massive 14-book fantasy saga, has delivered stunning visuals, gripping drama, and a world that keeps viewers hooked. But the burning question remains: Will there be a Season 4? Here's everything we know so far. Has The Wheel of Time Been Renewed for Season 4? As of July 2025, Prime Video has not greenlit The Wheel of Time for a fourth season, and some tough news has surfaced. Reports from Deadline and Radio Times confirm the show was canceled after Season 3 due to financial reasons. With a reported $260 million spent on the first two seasons alone, the production is a costly beast. While Season 3 pulled in over 530 million minutes watched during its premiere week (per Nielsen), the viewership apparently didn't match the high costs for Amazon's liking. Season 3 earned strong praise, with a 77/100 on Metacritic and 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the numbers didn't add up for the streamer. That said, hope isn't entirely lost. The show's team remains passionate, with whispers of potentially shopping the series to other platforms. However, TV Line notes that 'well-placed sources' say there are no current plans to pitch it elsewhere. Fans of shows like The Expanse , which found a new home after cancellation, know that miracles can happen, but it's a long shot for now. When Will Season 4 Release? If another platform picks up the show or Amazon reconsiders, don't expect Season 4 anytime soon. The series' complex production, with its detailed sets and heavy VFX, takes time. Season 1 launched in November 2021, Season 2 in September 2023, and Season 3 in March 2025—roughly 18 to 24 months apart. If filming begins in late 2025 or early 2026, a release could land in late 2027 or early 2028. Patience is key for epic fantasy!

New on Prime Video in August 2025 — all the new shows and movies to stream this month
A new month means there's a smorgasbord of new Prime Video titles arriving on Amazon's popular streaming service. There's plenty to get excited about with Prime Video's August 2025 lineup. That's why we've laid out a comprehensive list of everything arriving on Prime Video this month. We've also spotlighted a few standout picks you won't want to miss, including the fourth and final season of Prime Video's sci-fi dramedy "Upload," the Oscar-winning "Conclave" and a new crime comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson. Not in the mood for these picks? Be sure to check out our curated guides to the best movies and shows currently on Prime Video for even more streaming recommendations. Now let's dive into everything new coming to Prime Video this August. Prime Video is following the success of "Heads of State" with an explosive new action comedy starring Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer this month. "The Pickup" looks like a funny enough comedy caper, one that fans of last summer's "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" or "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" will no doubt want to check out. Murphy and Davidson team up as a pair of armored truck drivers who get in way over their heads after a routine cash pickup goes horribly wrong. While en route to their destination, they're targeted by dangerous criminals. After a wild chase, the hijackers' savvy leader, Zoe (Keke Palmer), reveals their plans go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos erupts around them, the mismatched pair must navigate life-threatening dangers, clashing personalities, and the day from hell that just keeps getting worse. Stream 'The Pickup' on Prime Video from August 6 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar-winner "Conclave" is one movie I did not expect to love as much as I did. I put it on to pass the time during a trans-Atlantic flight earlier this year, and even half-asleep, watching from a teeny, tiny screen, I was glued from start to finish. I'm only half-joking when I describe it as "Mean Girls" at the Vatican, and I'm dead serious when I say it's got some of the top performances of Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci's careers. When the sudden death of the pope sparks a high-stakes election to choose his successor, Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Fiennes) is tapped to lead the proceedings just as he's wrestling with his own crisis of faith. As the four favored candidates each outline their pitch for the church's future, Lawrence stumbles upon some shocking secrets hidden by the late pope — revelations that not only threaten to upend the election but could rock the very foundations of the Church. "Conclave's" all-star cast, compelling mystery, and Lawrence's affecting personal journey make this one Oscar winner I firmly believe everyone should watch. Stream 'Conclave' on Prime Video from August 9 "Upload" is one Prime Video original I haven't checked out yet, but given that it's created by "The Office" alum Greg Daniels, it's definitely earned a spot on my watchlist. Set in the not-so-far future of 2033, this sci-fi dramedy series imagines a world where people can upload their consciousness into a digital afterlife of their choosing. When computer programmer Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) dies in a tragic accident, he's uploaded to the luxurious virtual world of Lakeview thanks to his controlling, still-living girlfriend, Ingrid (Allegra Edwards). As he adjusts to his strange new reality, he begins to suspect there's more to his death than he was led to believe. In season 4, the cast will contend with a sentient AI threatening to wipe out Lakeview and the world. With just four episodes to pull off one of the show's most ambitious storylines yet, each installment promises to be packed with high-stakes tension, drama, and plenty of the series' signature wit.
