Prime Video may not churn out new titles as rapidly as Netflix, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth streaming. In fact, sometimes it quietly adds movies that weren’t originally in its lineup, so you might stumble upon a hidden gem you didn’t even know was there. Picking what to watch over the weekend can feel overwhelming, and not every trending title deserves your attention.
If you need a quick guide to the newest Prime Video releases this November 2025, you’re in the right place. This week’s highlights include a biographical sports drama, a wild sci-fi comedy starring Robert Pattinson, and a tense psychological thriller.
‘The Iron Claw’
At first glance, “The Iron Claw” might read as just another sports movie, but there’s more to this biographical drama. It’s really a story about family struggles, grief, and the cost of striving for greatness, brought to life through visceral action and powerful performances. This has to be the best performance Zac Efron has given to date.
“The Iron Claw” tells the real-life story of the Von Erich family, legendary figures in professional wrestling, following their rise and fall from the late 1970s through the ’80s. Patriarch Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany) runs World Class Championship Wrestling, pushing his sons to become stars. Kevin (Efron) and David (Harris Dickinson) embrace their father’s ambitions, while Kerry (Jeremy Allen White) and Mike (Stanley Simons) chart their own paths. Kevin, convinced the family is cursed, becomes the focal point as the movie shows their successes in the ring alongside injuries, losses, and the heavy weight of family expectations.

‘Mickey 17’
Just from the premise, I knew “Mickey 17” would be unusual, but it still managed to become one of the most bizarre and fascinating movies of 2025 (in the best way). The movie is a masterfully crafted sci-fi journey with plenty of tension and humor, which makes it all the more disappointing that it didn’t get the sustained attention it deserves. Directed by Bong Joon Ho of “Parasite” fame and starring Robert Pattinson in the title role, this needs to be on your watchlist.
In 2054, Mickey Barnes (Pattinson) joins a colonization mission to the ice planet Niflheim after a failed business venture. He becomes an “expendable,” a crew member whose death triggers the creation of a new clone with all memories intact. Each time Mickey dies, he is re‑printed and sent back into dangerous work. When local alien lifeforms threaten the mission, the seventeenth clone (Mickey 17) is presumed dead. But upon resurfacing, he discovers a new clone, “Mickey 18,” has already taken his place, forcing him to confront a dangerous and unfamiliar reality.

‘After the Hunt’
Movies that struggle at the box office often end up performing better on streaming, and “After the Hunt” is a perfect example. Its quick climb into Prime Video’s top 10 proves viewers are finding plenty to enjoy. Personally, I think theatrical releases tend to enhance both a movie’s highs and lows. For this particular movie, it might have been a smarter fit as a streaming debut. That said, with the right mindset, this psychological thriller can be a much more rewarding viewing experience at home.
“After the Hunt” follows Alma Imhoff (Julia Roberts), a philosophy professor at Yale, whose life takes an unexpected turn when a star student, Maggie Resnick (Ayo Edebiri), accuses one of Alma’s trusted colleagues and friends, Hank Gibson (Andrew Garfield), of sexual assault. As the campus erupts in controversy, Alma is forced into a difficult position. She must decide whether to stand by Hank or believe Maggie, while also confronting a troubling secret from her own history.
