3 binge-worthy – Prime Video’s top show this week is the new romantic drama Every Year After, and these three series offer very different binge options—from a British coming-of-age story to a sci-fi time-travel puzzle.
The first place to start on Prime Video this week might already be the show everyone’s talking about: the new romantic drama Every Year After. It premiered last week and has quickly become the platform’s top TV show for the week of June 15–19. pulling viewers in with a simple. magnetic question: what if your first love was destined to be your soulmate?.
Every Year After was developed by Amy B. Harris and Leila Gerstein and adapted from Carley Fortune’s Every Summer After. The series stars Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett as lifelong friends. with their chemistry rooted in that slow-burn idea of fate—of love arriving once. then echoing across years. And if you’re ready to keep the binge going but want a different flavor entirely, Prime Video has options.
‘What It Feels Like for a Girl’ (2025)
If you want something that cuts deeper than the romance. Paris Lees’ British coming-of-age series is built for that kind of emotional commitment. Adapted by Paris Lees from her memoir. What It Feels Like for a Girl follows Byron/Paris. played by Ellis Howard. a trans teenager living in a small working-class town. The story tracks the precarious balance between self-discovery and self-destruction.
Laura Haddock. Hannah Walters. Michael Socha. Laquarn Lewis. Hannah Jones. Adam Ali. Alex Thomas-Smith. Calam Lynch. Jake Dunn. Dickie Beau. Emma Shipp. Laura Checkley. and more appear in supporting roles. The series was widely praised in the UK as one of the most acclaimed new series of 2025. with its narrative and performances drawing universal praise. Ellis Howard earned special praise for his central performance and received a Best Actor nomination at the 2026 TV BAFTAs. Paris Lees also earned a Best Writer nomination, and the show itself was nominated for Best Limited Drama.
‘The Better Sister’ (2025)
For a binge that shifts from discovery to danger, The Better Sister brings a limited thriller series into the mix, created by Olivia Milch. Starring Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks, the show is adapted from Alafair Burke’s 2019 novel.
The story follows estranged sisters Chloe (Biel) and Nicky (Banks). Their forced partnership begins after the murder of Adam (Corey Stoll), Chloe’s husband and Nicky’s ex. The series also features Kim Dickens. Maxwell Acee Donovan. Bobby Naderi. Gabriel Sloyer. Matthew Modine. Lorraine Toussaint. and Gloria Reuben in supporting roles.
The Better Sister isn’t without its rough patches. but the series is carried by the chemistry and layered performances of its starring duo. Elizabeth Banks. in particular. delivers one of her best performances in recent years. and the show was generally well-received by both critics and audiences. The mystery may look like the headline. but the series is largely driven by characters and their shifting dynamics—especially the emotional pull between family and survival.
‘The Peripheral’ (2022)
If your ideal binge involves big questions, futuristic tech, and a story that reaches across time, The Peripheral is the Prime Video pick for you. Created by Scott B. Smith, the series is loosely inspired by William Gibson’s 2014 novel.
The Peripheral stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a young VR gamer in the year 2032, who receives a prototype virtual reality headset. That headset transports her into an ultra-realistic SIM world, and she inadvertently steps into a complex time-travel conspiracy.
Besides Moretz, the show features Gary Carr, Jack Reynor, JJ Feild, and T’Nia Miller, along with more supporting roles. When it premiered in 2022, reviews were mixed, but sci-fi fans found it—and it became popular enough to earn a renewal for a second season.
Executive-produced by Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. The Peripheral was praised for being cyberpunk fiction with immaculately crafted settings and concepts. plus an immersive production that satisfies fans of hard sci-fi thrillers. Still, it didn’t get to finish. The series was canceled during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, cutting short its intriguing story.
What ties these three shows together is that each one pulls you forward in its own way—romance through fate. drama through identity and survival. and sci-fi through a reality-bending conspiracy. Prime Video’s lineup for June 15–19 doesn’t just offer variety. It offers different kinds of hooks. the kind that keep you hitting “next episode” before you even realize you’ve started.
