Amazon’s Prime Video this week (December 14-20, 2025) plans to add eight new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

The Joker Folie a Deux (2024)
Release Date: Tuesday, December 16
Joaquin Phoenix is back as The Joker in this sequel to the often-absorbing 2019 film, Joker, but he’s joined by Lady Gaga and it’s a musical drama!? Wait a minute. What?! Yeah, that’s what many of the critics said, too. Why did director Todd Phillips turn this comic book villain into a crooning criminal? The result was mixed, to put it generously, with most fans and reviewers running for the exits. However, some contrarians are still calling it a work of genius so you can judge for yourself this week.

NBA Cup Finals
Release Date: Tuesday, December 16, 8:30 p.m. ET
Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks will face Victor Wembanyama and his San Antonio Spurs in the 2025 NBA Cup Final from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Knicks made it to the in-season tournament finals by defeating the Orlando Magic, 132-120, with Brunson netting 40 points. The Spurs reached the finals edging out the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-109 behind Wembanyama’s 22 points. Amazon Prime will stream the game exclusively.

Fallout – Season Two
Release Date: Wednesday, December 17
Based on the role-playing video game series, Fallout stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, pictured above ) as Lucy, a nuclear apocalypse survivor who leaves her bunker to search for her father in devastated Los Angeles. Walton Goggins (Justified) plays a dangerous bounty hunter who has transformed into a living ghoul. The show has received strong critical reviews with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a score of 93. Season two will continue Lucy’s search for the truth while a new war is on the horizon.
