Amazon Prime Video is making major changes in 2025, canceling several fan-favorite series while also preparing to launch a fresh lineup of shows and movies. The shift comes as the streaming service continues to realign its strategy amid fierce competition.
Why It Matters
The shake-up includes the cancellation of eight TV shows, decisions that have frustrated viewers loyal to these programs. The move reflects broader trends across the streaming industry, where platforms are increasingly trimming underperforming content to prioritize larger franchises and newer projects.
Amazon Prime Video's decisions are likely to impact both subscriber satisfaction and content strategy as viewers reassess their streaming choices heading into the second half of the year.
Why Amazon Prime Series Have Been Canceled
The reasons for cancellations vary but are largely tied to viewership metrics, cost concerns and strategic shifts.
'Citadel: Honey Bunny'
Set in India, this spinoff of Citadel followed espionage adventures similar to its parent series. It lasted only one season before being canceled. "While these successful and widely enjoyed international chapters will not continue as individual series, Season 2 of Citadel will be our most exhilarating yet," Amazon MGM head Vernon Sanders said in a statement to Rotten Tomatoes.
The series launched in 2024 and features Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kashvi Majmundar, Varun Dhawan and Saqib Saleem.
'Citadel: Diana'
Based in Italy, this sister show to Citadel focused on spy intrigue from an Italian perspective. Like Honey Bunny, it was canceled after one season. The characters and plot elements from both Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny are expected to be integrated into Citadel's main storyline in Season 2, which is slated to premiere in 2026, according to Rotten Tomatoes. The flagship series stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas.
Debuting in 2024, the Citadel: Diana cast features Matilda De Angelis, Lorenzo Cervasio, Maurizio Lombardi and Julia Piaton.
'Neighbours'
The iconic Australian soap opera that originally aired in 1985 was revived on Amazon Freevee in 2022 but will conclude its run in December after just three years on Prime platforms.
The show follows the daily lives of residents on Ramsay Street and is widely known for kick-starting the careers of actors like Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Margot Robbie. It originally debuted on the Seven Network in March 1985.
'Cruel Intentions'
This series reimagined the 1999 cult film, focusing on the scheming dynamics between two manipulative step-siblings navigating power and prestige at an elite college. It premiered in late 2024 and was canceled after one season due to low viewership. The series also never made it on Nielsen's Top 10 streaming charts, according to The Mirror. The series received a 24 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Cruel Intentions' cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, Savannah Lee Smith and Sara Silva.
'Bosch: Legacy'
A continuation of the popular Bosch detective series, Legacy focused on former LAPD detective Harry Bosch now working as a private investigator. Money was the reason to end Bosch: Legacy after three seasons, even as fans wished for it to continue, The Mirror reported. The drama, featuring Titus Welliver as the lead, ran for three seasons beginning in 2022. The final season aired on March 27 with the final episode releasing April 17.
'The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh'
This family comedy about an Indian immigrant family adjusting to life in America premiered in October 2024 and was canceled after one season despite a strong 75 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The cast includes Naveen Andrews, Sindhu Vee, Sahana Srinivasan, Arjun Sriram and Ashwin Sakthivel.
'The 1% Club'
A U.S. adaptation of the British game show focused on intelligence puzzles rather than trivia. It launched on Prime Video in October 2023 and was canceled after one season, with Fox picking it up for future episodes.
'The Sticky'
Facing the loss of her farm to government bureaucracy, syrup producer Ruth Landry joins forces with a Boston mobster and a French Canadian security guard to pull off a daring theft of Quebec's maple syrup reserves, inspired by the real-life Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.
The series, starring Margo Martindale and produced by Jamie Lee Curtis, ran for one season with just six episodes.
'The Summer I Turned Pretty'
Although it became a fan favorite, Prime Video confirmed that The Summer I Turned Pretty will conclude after its third season. The first season featured seven episodes, the second expanded to eight and the upcoming third season will include 11 episodes, scheduled to premiere in July.
Adapted from Jenny Han's book trilogy, the series structured each season around one novel, with showrunners confirming that the third season will wrap up the main story arc, according to The Mirror.
The cast includes Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman and Rain Spencer.
New Shows Coming to Amazon Prime Video in May
Despite the cancellations, Amazon Prime Video is adding several highly anticipated new titles. According to previous reporting from Newsweek, Prime Video's lineup for May includes:
Overcompensating
Motorheads
Clarkson's Farm
Amazon is also continuing popular franchises, having renewed The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for Season 3 and announced second seasons for House of David and Jury Duty.
How Much Does Amazon Prime Video Cost?
A subscription to Amazon Prime Video is included with an Amazon Prime membership, which costs about $14.99 or $139 annually. Students receive a discounted price of $7.49 monthly or $69 annually.
What People Are Saying
An X user named @johnszim posted: "Watching the final episode of Bosch: Legacy and I will miss this show. Titus Welliver is an amazing actor and nobody could ever play Harry Bosch after his portrayal. Plus he's a Boston boy."
What's Next
Amazon Prime Video appears committed to investing in large-scale franchises while phasing out lower-performing titles. As the platform expands its lineup with high-profile renewals and original content, its strategy reflects a focus on global appeal and event-driven storytelling designed to retain subscribers and compete in an increasingly crowded streaming market.

Chris Pratt shows off drastic transformation for 'The Terminal List' season 2
Chris Pratt gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at his dramatic transformation for "The Terminal List" season two, sharing a video from set on Friday. The actor appeared nearly unrecognizable with long hair, a full beard and a thick mustache, all part of a detailed prosthetic look for his character. "Isn't this hair and makeup incredible?" Pratt said in the video posted to Instagram. "My team does such an awesome job." Pratt, who plays Navy SEAL James Reece in the Amazon Prime Video series, explained the facial hair is fake, but realistic enough to cause issues during lunch breaks. "The crazy thing about wearing a fake mustache or a fake beard is when you eat, you get hair in your mouth," he said, joking about not knowing where the hair came from. "No. Anyways. I don't care. I'm hungry," he added before eating. Season two of "The Terminal List" is based on "True Believer," the second novel in Jack Carr's book series. The action drama follows a Navy SEAL navigating trauma and conspiracy after a mission goes wrong. Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch and Riley Keough return as part of the ensemble cast. Pratt's on-set update came days after he paid tribute to "Parks and Recreation" co-star Jonathan Joss, who was shot and killed on June 1. "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude," Pratt wrote in a post shared to Instagram Stories.

Woman Asks for 'Unhinged' Examples of Microfeminism—Over 13K Reply
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. One Seattle woman's call for "unhinged" examples of everyday feminism has lit up the internet. Tori Dunlap (@herfirst100k) posted a short clip on TikTok, asking for ways in which users practice microfeminism. "I'm not talking about 'assuming the doctor is woman', give me insane ones," she wrote on the text overlay. The clip, which has amassed almost 6 million views and over 13,000 comments, opened the floodgates for examples of what she calls microfeminism—small, pointed ways people challenge gender norms in their everyday lives. From left: Tori Dunlap speaks in a white cap and black sunglasses with palm trees in background. From left: Tori Dunlap speaks in a white cap and black sunglasses with palm trees in background. @herfirst100k As an internationally recognized money and career expert, Dunlap told Newsweek that she has worked in environments where being a woman means having to constantly navigate micro-patriarchy. "Like being talked over; expected to 'smile more' … I just knew that the comment section would let us flip the script and laugh a little in the process," Dunlap said. Responses to the viral clip included calling the father first when their child is sick at school; pairing the husband and child together when booking flights as a travel agent; and assuming fruity drinks with umbrellas were ordered by the men at the table. One popular example was also telling angry male co-workers, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you emotional." "It was hilarious, and honestly kind of healing," Dunlap said. "That comment section is like reading a ton of small rebellions." After saving $100,000 at age 25, Dunlap quit her corporate job in marketing and founded Her First $100K to fight financial inequality by giving women actionable resources to better their money. Dunlap defines microfeminism as "disrupting gender norms in those small but mighty ways." It's the idea is that not all activism has to be loud or performative; sometimes, it exists in the daily moments where stereotypes are reinforced, challenged or dismantled. "Those seemingly small, everyday callouts can start to add up in a really powerful way," Dunlap added. One woman who works in pediatrics makes strong eye contact with the father and shared how "9/10 times he looks at the mom for an answer." Another creative example posted by @mzpettycrocker shared how she begins presentations: "Hello ladies and sons of ladies." Dunlap told Newsweek she was excited that the conversation around microfeminism was really taking off in the comments section. "There were some creative examples, from … listing wives first on wedding invites to asking kindergarten students what their dad cooked for dinner last night (and acting shocked if they say their mom cooked)," Dunlap said. "The power of microfeminism is that, once you name the expectation it's targeting, you start to break it down and you realize how ridiculous it is."

Nightmare Unfolds As Dogsitter Tries To Put Puppy to Bed: 'Help Me'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman who agreed to look after her sister's puppy never expected how chaotic the night would become. Roberta Burton, 56 and from Nottinghamshire in the U.K., recently spent time at her sister's home in Surrey after agreeing to look after her home and Maltipoo puppy, Paddy, while she was away. "Paddy has lots of energy," Burton told Newsweek of the 6-month-old pup. "When I say a lot of energy, I mean the zoomie type." "At 11 o'clock at night, I was absolutely shattered, and said, 'Right, Paddy, it's time for bed'," Burton added. "It had been a long day. But Paddy had other ideas; he thought it was play time, and thought it was a game." Zoomies, also known as the frenetic random activity period, is a way for dogs to release excess energy, and often happens at night, according to the American Kennel Club. It is completely normal behavior, particularly for puppies, who take plenty of naps throughout the day along with huge bursts of activity—which, unfortunately for Burton, happened to Paddy when she was trying to go to bed herself. In a video to her TikTok account @burtysblog on June 2, viewed over 413,000 times, Burton pleads with Paddy to get into bed. But the pup clearly isn't ready, as he's sprinting all around the room, jumping on the sofa and flying off again, so fast he comes across in the video as almost a blur. "As I tried to pick him up to put him in, he jumped over my hands," Burton told Newsweek, "jumping over me, under me, on top of me." Roberta Burton tries to catch Paddy, left, who sprints around the room through her arms and legs, right.

TikTok @burtysblog Burton tries her best to catch the pup, but it just adds to Paddy's fun, as he expertly dodges out of her grasp and in between her legs—even as she tries throwing a blanket over him to trap him. Burton resorts to getting on her knees and begging Paddy to relax and go to bed. At one point, Burton lies across a footrest in despair. And, adding insult to injury, Paddy then lies on the footrest beside her—only to sprint away again when she raises her head, leading Burton to plead: "Help me, Jesus." In the end, Burton gives up, and sits quietly on the floor trying to calm herself—and Paddy then jumps on her repeatedly, trying to get the game going again. "I'm not playing," Burton tells him, refusing at this point to even look at him. And in response, he gives out a high-pitched bark. The video ends with the battle finally won, as Burton approaches the camera with a finally tired-out Paddy in her arms. And she told Newsweek that it was all thanks to her 84-year-old father, who had been in the next room. Her dad walked in, said, "Don't be so dramatic," called Paddy a good boy, and had him in his crate asleep almost immediately. Left, Burton despairs as Paddy waits for the game to begin again, and right, the moment she captured the pup.

TikTok @burtysblog TikTok users were in stitches, with one commenting: "In the dog's defense, it does look like a really fun game." "This had me crying with laughter, I can't stop watching it," another posted, as a third wrote: "When I say I laughed I LAUGHED. Your sister owes you a spa weekend for this!" And one comment read: "I've watched this about 10 times, possibly the funniest thing on here." Burton told Newsweek her sister was also "crying with laughter" when she saw the video of Paddy's "shenanigans"—and told Burton, "Next time, give him cheese." "Why didn't you tell me that before?" Burton asked, awarding the pup the ultimate nickname: Paddy the baddie. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
