The Latest Update About ‘Motorheads' Season 2 On Amazon Prime Video
Motorheads You may have seen the series Motorheads floating around Amazon Prime Video's top ten list the last few weeks, and even if it rarely, if ever, hit the top spot, it's been a successful series both critically and among audiences. Now, we have at least some amount of information about the status of season 2. Motorheads doesn't have many reviews in to land its 75% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it has a very promising 92% audience score, indicating fans liked what they saw, and that may be a sign they watched the 10-episode series all the way through. So, season 2? The last update we have is promising on one hand, somewhat perilous on the other. Motorheads creator John A. Norris told a fan what was happening on Twitter: User: "New fan, keep the show going please lol don't just one season us…love brother" John A. Norris: "Thanks! Fingers crossed. Season two is written." Past that, Norris also talked about a potential story development that will happen in the second season: Other cast members have talked about how the show ends on a somewhat maddening cliffhanger, especially if it does not return. Here's star Michael Cimino: And star Melissa Collazo: And we know she does, in fact, start driving, according to the showrunner who has already written that episode. Motorheads It's not unusual for cast members to express interest in returning for a second season. I mean, obviously. What is unusual is to have an entire second season written before renewal by a streaming service, as that's a fairly big risk if you do not already have a deal in place. But I suppose that's how passionate Norris is about the project. The problem is that these updates are from May, and there have not been that many new developments since then, and things are all quiet on Amazon's end. It's not late enough to start worrying, as these things can take time, a month, or even multiple months, but I'm feeling pretty positive about things given its performance, reception and the fact that it could start filming right away with a script already in place.

16 Great TV Shows on Amazon Prime Video Right Now (May 2025)
Few streamers keep a foot in the past and the present in the same way that Amazon Prime Video curates its lineup of TV shows. In the last few weeks alone, Prime Video has debuted new shows like The Bondsman and The Narrow Road to the Deep North, as well as the teen drama Motorheads, which debuted at No. 1 on Amazon's most popular TV chart. Prime Video also has a strong library of classic television series, including Spaced, a cult-favorite British sitcom that helped make Simon Pegg into a star years before he was costarring in the Mission: Impossible movies. All of these series can be found among the 16 great TV shows on Amazon Prime Video right now. Need more recommendations? Then read Best New Shows to Watch on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and More, Best Comedy Shows to Stream Right Now and Best TV Shows on Amazon Prime Video Right may remind some viewers of the first Fast and the Furious movie if it was envisioned through a YA lens. Michael Cimino and Melissa Collazo star as siblings Zac and Caitlyn Torres, a pair of teens who move back to their father's hometown to live with their uncle, Logan Maddox (Ryan Phillippe). Michael and Melissa are trying to escape the shadow of their father, Christian Maddox (Deacon Phillippe), who was a racing legend in his era. It doesn't take long for the siblings to make an enemy out of Harris Bowers (Josh Macqueen), a rich kid with a reputation for being the best racer in town. To take Harris down, they're going to need to restore their dad's old Charger and enlist the help of their very reluctant uncle. Motorheads is streaming on Prime Video. Five years before Shawn of the Dead hit theaters, Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson co-created and starred in the British sitcom Spaced. They played Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner, two strangers who decide to pretend to be a couple in order to land a new place to live that is run under a very strict set of rules by their landlady, Marsha Klein (Julia Deakin). Edgar Wright — the director of Shawn of the Dead — helmed every episode of Spaced, while Pegg's frequent co-star, Nick Frost, played Tim's best friend, Mike Watt. Spaced had a very bizarre and even surreal sense of humor, while Tim and Daisy spent a lot of time denying they were a couple to their friends even though there is clearly an attraction between them. Spaced is streaming on Prime Video. Hub Halloran (Kevin Bacon) is dead, but he gets better in The Bondsman. While he was alive, Hub was one of the best bounty hunters in the south. That's a talent that the devil won't let go to waste. Through his intermediary, Midge Kusatsu (Jolene Purdy), the devil resurrects Hub with a new mission in life to hunt down escaped demons and send them back to Hell. This wasn't something that Hub asked for, but he'll take his second chance at life to fix some of the mistakes he made the first time. That includes mending fences with his family and rediscovering some of the passions that he left behind. He'll be a better man if he can keep up his end of the devil's bargain. The Bondsman is streaming on Prime Video. Nathan Fillion had his first true breakout role as novelist Richard Castle on ABC's Castle. After meeting NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), Castle is so taken by her that he decides to write a new book featuring a main character based on her. Castle then pulls some strings with the mayor to get permission to follow Beckett as she investigates homicide cases. Although Beckett initially resents Castle's presence, he helps her solve many murder investigations. And as the pair grows closer, Castle learns about the investigation that Beckett has been trying to solve her entire life: the murder of her mother, Johanna Beckett. That story takes years to play out. Reportedly, Fillion and Katic didn't get along very well, but that's hard to tell from the early seasons when Castle and Beckett's romantic tension was at an all-time high. They were fun to watch together, even in the later seasons. Castle is streaming on Prime Video. Not every love affair is everlasting in The Narrow Road to the Deep North, but Dorrigo Evans () would be lost without it. This adaptation of Richard Flanagan's novel chronicles Dorrigo's torrid romance with Amy Mulvaney (Odessa Young), a young woman who is his aunt by marriage. Throughout World War II, the memory of what Dorrigo shared with Amy sustains him even while he's a prisoner of war. As Dorrigo's men die of disease and starvation around him, he holds on to the warmth and hope that Amy gave him. But his story doesn't stop after the war, and Dorrigo's life doesn't play out like a romantic fairy tale with a happy ending for everyone. The Narrow Road to the Deep North is streaming on Prime Video. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) wasn't the most popular character on Cheers three decades ago, but he was the right choice to be featured in the spinoff Frasier. This sitcom equalled the 11-season run of its predecessor and became a classic in its own series expanded Frasier's character development by introducing his brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), their blue-collar father Martin (John Mahoney), and Martin's physical therapist Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves). Frasier also reinvented himself as a radio show host alongside his producer, Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin). This group of performers had outstanding chemistry, and they collectively ensured that Frasier is still one of the best comedy series two decades after its conclusion. Frasier is streaming on Prime Video. Although The Wheel of Time recently returned for its third season on Prime Video, you should probably start at the beginning before diving into this show. This adaptation of Robert Jordan's novels has a dense mythology that rivals Game of Thrones in scope, and it easily outshines Prime Video's other big-budget fantasy show, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Pike leads the cast as Moiraine Damodred, a powerful channeler of magic who is seeking the Dragon Reborn, the reincarnation of one of the few men who can use magic in this world. Moiraine believes she's found the one she's looking for among four young men and women, including Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and Egwene al'Vere (Madeleine Madden). All four have hidden abilities and a destiny that will slowly unfold, but not all of them will ultimately be aligned against the coming darkness. The Wheel of Time is streaming on Prime Video. The irony of Fallout's breakthrough as one of Amazon's top series is that the video game franchise hasn't had a new game since 2018. But the retro-futuristic post-apocalypse of the games gives the TV series a rich backdrop and an intriguing mythology to Ella Purnell stars as Lucy MacLean, a young woman who has lived inside a colony deep within a vault her entire life. Lucy didn't really have any concept of what life was like outside until her colony was attacked by raiders who kidnapped her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan). When Lucy sets out on a rescue mission in the wasteland, one of the first people she meets is The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), a mutated man who was once an actor named Cooper Howard. The Ghoul has lived hundreds of years, and he's no friend to Lucy, but he does have some very hard lessons to teach her. Fallout is streaming on Prime Video. Invincible may seem like an overnight success for Amazon, but the comic it's based on is 22 years old and still resonates with this adaptation. Co-creator Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) has a knack for creating likable characters and then putting them through horrible things. This show may be animated, but it hits harder than many R-rated films with its brutal action. And it doesn't shy away from the toll that violence takes on the heroes and the world around Grayson (Steven Yeun) grew up in the shadow of the world's strongest hero, his father, Omni-Man (J. K. Simmons). Once Mark comes into his powers as Invincible, he discovers his father's true agenda for Earth. If Mark wants to save the only world he's ever known from his own flesh and blood, then he'll have to live up to his superhero name. Invincible is streaming on Prime Video. Alan Ritchson has played superheroes before, but he's never played a larger-than-life character like Jack Reacher until now. Reacher makes Ritchson seem like an uncommon man among men as he drifts from town to town and takes on the rich and powerful while combating injustice. The recently premiered third season puts Reacher in his toughest case to date as he goes undercover in a criminal organization to locate a missing DEA agent and to bring down a crime lord. And for the first time since the show began, Reacher has finally met an enemy who physically towers over him: Paul "Paulie" van Hove (Olivier Richters). Reacher is streaming on Prime Video. Moonlighting is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025, and it made Bruce Willis famous while giving Cybill Shepherd a Hollywood comeback. This quirky comedy/drama featured Shepherd as a former model, Madelyn "Maddie" Hayes, who reinvents herself as a private detective alongside David Addison (Willis).The dialogue in this series and the fantastic chemistry between Shepherd and Willis entertained a lot of fans in the '80s. Moonlighting took dramatic chances and big swings like few series do, and not all of them connected with its audience. But this series is more than just a footnote in history, it's also one of the all-time greats. Moonlighting is streaming on Prime Video. If you know anything about English history, then you're probably well aware that King Henry VIII didn't look anything like actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. And you're probably not going to care about that level of historical fidelity when watching The Tudors. This series was a Showtime original, and it liberally blended historical fact and fiction as it chronicled Henry's tumultuous of Thrones' Natalie Dormer had one of her first big roles in this series as Anne Boleyn, one of Henry's many wives. Unfortunately for the ladies, Henry rarely let his wives off easily when he wanted out of their union. And their heads aren't the only ones that will roll in this entertaining series. The Tudors is streaming on Prime Video. There's something so inherently charming about Hugh Laurie that it's a pleasure watching him perform as Dr. Gregory House even when he's being a huge jerk to his patients, his colleagues and even to himself. House was a medical procedural like no other, and the title character was modeled after Sherlock Holmes. If you watch the show's entire eight-season run, you'll see a lot of parallels between House and the great detective. The secret to House's success is that Laurie was surrounded by a very talented supporting cast, including Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, and more. Their characters added more dimension to the show and helped flesh out House himself. House is streaming on Prime Video. The Expanse has been described as Game of Thrones in space, and that's not entirely inaccurate. Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck – who collectively write as James S. A. Corey – crafted a very believable future for humanity that's not some idealized Star Trek fantasy. Who needs aliens when humans are still itching for a war against each other? The people of Earth and Mars are at each other's throats, while the humans in the asteroid belt are considered second-class citizens by both Holden (Steven Strait), Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper), Amos Burton (Wes Chatham) and Alex Kamal (Cas Anvar) are the only survivors of a mining ship that stumbles across a deadly conspiracy to reshape worlds. In another part of the galaxy, Detective Joe Miller (Thomas Jane) is unknowingly tied to their fate as his missing person case takes on a significance that goes far beyond his wildest dreams. The Expanse is streaming on Prime Video. If you feel like the creative team behind The Boys hates superheroes, then you're probably right. This is perhaps the most cynical comic book adaptation ever, and it features 'heroes' like Homelander (Antony Starr) who openly have contempt for the people they're supposed to be protecting. Hugh Campbell (Novacaine's Jack Quaid) discovers this unfortunate truth when his girlfriend is accidentally killed by one of the world's fastest heroes, A-Train (Jessie T. Usher).That's where Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) comes in. No one despises 'supes' more than Butcher, and he's got a vendetta against Homelander for deeply personal reasons. Billy recruits Hugh to join his team, The Boys, to bring down all the heroes. But the odds are always stacked against them. The Boys is streaming on Prime Video. Comedy and mystery collide in Monk, an unforgettable series that was once one of the most popular shows on cable during its eight seasons on the USA Network. Tony Shalhoub brings a lot to his character, Adrian Monk, especially when Monk is so hilariously neurotic and ruled by his phobias. Despite his overpowering OCD, Monk is a world-class detective, but he needs someone to keep him on track. In the first few seasons, that person was his assistant, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), while Traylor Howard's Natalie Teeger took on that function from season 3 onward. Almost every episode is neatly tied up, but the mystery of who killed Monk's wife is saved until the very end of the series. Monk is streaming on Prime Video.

Ryan Phillippe's New Drama Series Hits #3 on Prime & the Trailer Is Packed with Emotion and Adrenaline
With new shows dropping every day, it's easy for a few to slip through the cracks—or in this case, past my eyeballs. That said, it didn't take long for Motorheads, a new original series from Prime Video, to catch my attention. I was actually logging in to check out the new thriller The Better Sister (mini-review on that here), but a quick scroll through the platform's Top 10 list stopped me in my tracks. Sitting pretty at #3? Ryan Phillippe. Naturally, I clicked. And that's how I discovered Motorheads. Sabrina Lantos/Prime Video The series is a high-octane, coming-of-age drama set in a fading Rust Belt town. It centers around a group of teens who bond over street racing, love, heartbreak and the thrill of getting behind the wheel for the very first time. Think Fast & Furious energy with a high school twist. Phillippe plays Logan Maddox, a former NASCAR driver turned auto body shop owner. He's joined by Nathalie Kelley (The Vampire Diaries, Dynasty), who plays an ER nurse returning to her hometown of Ironwood, Pennsylvania with her teenage twins. You'll also spot Michael Cimino from Love, Victor and Never Have I Ever, who plays Zac—Samantha's reluctant Brooklyn-born son adjusting to small-town life. Rounding out the cast are Melissa Collazo, Uriah Shelton and Nicolas Cantu. The trailer opens with a line that sets the tone: 'There are two types of people in this world—those who hit the brakes and those who hit the gas. The question you have to ask yourself is 'Which one are you?'' And honestly? It's kind of a vibe. Also, sidenote: when did Ryan Phillippe's voice get that deep? The last time I really remember hearing his voice was when I rewatched 1999's Cruel Intentions—he was around 25 then. So yeah, hearing how deep it is now definitely caught me off guard. Voice surprise aside, Motorheads looks like an easy, engaging watch with just the right mix of drama, fast cars and heartfelt moments. All 10 episodes are streaming now on Prime Video—will you be watching? Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox?

Amazon Prime fans rush to binge 'best series ever' that went under the radar
Amazon Prime Video viewers have rushed to binge a new coming-of-age drama series after its biggest fans begged for a second season.
