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.

'F1' Onscreen: Critics Weigh In on Brad Pitt's Racing Blockbuster
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. With less than a week left for the release of the Formula One-based movie, F1, fan excitement is at an all-time high, with many awaiting a glimpse of what they could expect. Thanks to the press screenings for critics and audiences before the movie's release on June 25 (June 27 for North America), fans can now walk into the theaters knowing what to expect. F1's recent star-studded premiere in New York saw Formula One drivers, team principals, Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, and the crew make headlines with their appearances. However, what matters next are the reviews. IGN Starting with IGN, critic Clint Cage said that F1 has elevated the standard of sports movies. He said: "As a sports movie following some pretty tried and true tactics, F1 ups its game at every stage of things. This won't win it any awards for originality, but it still adds up to a real win." Brad Pitt, star of the upcoming Formula One based movie, Apex, and Damson Idris, co-star of the upcoming Formula One based movie, Apex, walk on the grid during the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain... Brad Pitt, star of the upcoming Formula One based movie, Apex, and Damson Idris, co-star of the upcoming Formula One based movie, Apex, walk on the grid during the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 09, 2023 in Northampton, England. MoreAddressing the work of Director Joseph Kosinski, he added: "On a technical level, F1 is impeccably put together. Kosinski and his frequent collaborator, Academy Award winning cinematographer Claudio Miranda, put cameras in just... all the places. Picking up where they left off with Top Gun: Maverick, F1 is filled with impossible angles and quick, robotic pans that make us feel like we're at the mercy of these rocketship machines" F1 aims to showcase the premier class of motorsport to a wider audience in an authentic way, and IGN's review hints it has achieved that goal. Cage added: "There's a deep cultural familiarity with what a Formula One race is supposed to look like onscreen. F1: The Movie gets that too. One shot puts you intimately and dangerously into the driver's seat while the next feels broadcast-worthy. "The editing does the same as well, thanks to Stephen Mirrione, another member of the pit crew with an Oscar in the garage. F1 is cut beautifully and peacefully in stretches, chaotically and nervously in others." He added: "All the pieces that you'd expect are there - and, again, plussing up the 'familiar' is the best thing Kosinski and his crew have done with F1. They've built a super-charged vehicle that can outdo the competition on almost every level - give or take a two-and-a-half-hour-plus runtime." Rotten Tomatoes With a score of 88% on the Tomatometer, F1 seems to have made its mark. Here are a few reviews by critics: Samuel Leggett Jr. stated: "It has it all, amazing camera work, astonishing racing scenes and locations, a great cast, & electric chemistry from Idris and Pitt! This film is truly one of the best films this year & one of the best racing films of all time. Will leave you breathless!" Doug Jamieson wrote: "Visually, it's undeniably impressive. But strip away the carbon fibre, and what remains is a movie filled with clichés, weak character arcs, and a script that strains to be inspirational while instead delivering a lot of empty noise." Stephanie Zacharek stated: "Brad Pitt, at 61, has finally aged into roles like these. And sometimes, as F1 proves, they're the best thing that can happen to a guy." BBC Nicholas Barber of the BBC described F1 as "the slick and shiny new summer popcorn film." However, he pointed out that "the biggest issue with F1, though, is not its insistence on showing its leading man in a flattering light, but its equivalent, fawning attitude towards Formula One itself." Comparing Kosinski's work on Top Gun: Maverick, he added: "While Top Gun: Maverick was a masterpiece that pulled viewers into events in and out of the cockpit, F1 is simply a competently assembled collection of underdog sports-drama clichés. It never convinces you that its protagonists are human beings, and never persuades you that Ruben's team are more worthy of support than their competitors. I was more invested in the podrace in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace than any of the races here." Rating F1 two out of five stars, Barber said the movie is best-suited for F1 fans. He concluded: "Making a film about a series of long races just wasn't a bright idea. Formula One enthusiasts may disagree, and they may be delighted that their beloved motorsport has been put on the big screen in such a laudatory fashion. Everyone else: this is not where you want to be." Attractions Magazine Connor Webber of Attractions Magazine has praised F1, likening it to Kosinski's work on Top Gun: Maverick. He stated: "What the 'F1: The Movie' team was able to accomplish with the camera work and editing is unreal. My heart dropped watching the camera move while the car is racing at 200 mph. There are no punches thrown in this film, but it has some of the best action in any movie this year." Awarding F1 with a score of 4.5/5, he added: "Just like 'Top Gun: Maverick,' 'F1: The Movie' never forgets the human element: the heart, the relationships that make the spectacle matter. The performances here aren't just passengers in the ride - they steer it (hehe)."

I know I'm getting older, but at the same time, I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league … It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me.'

And so, Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) has a serious diminution of power and status to consider at home while Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) somehow maintains the energy necessary to scale, and then ultimately control, the upper echelons of New York society. But is her family on the brink of collapse?
