Summer is almost behind us, and for me, September officially marks the beginning of fall. As the days get shorter and the weather starts to cool, streaming services like Prime Video are already looking ahead to the colder months. That means swapping out some of those quintessential summer movies for cozier watches, autumnal favorites, and plenty of new movies and shows to settle in with as the seasons change.
Prime Video’s September 2026 lineup is now fully revealed, and I’ve rounded up the biggest releases worth keeping an eye on, from major new arrivals to some of the month’s most anticipated titles. That includes a new spinoff series set in the world of “Reacher,” an adrenaline-fueled action-thriller, and a romantic comedy based on Ali Hazelwood’s novel.
Here are my standout picks for the month, followed by the full list of everything coming to Prime Video throughout September 2026.
New on Prime Video in September 2026: Top picks
‘The Runner’ (September 2)
Prime Video is known to have plenty of action-thrillers, from “Reacher” to “The Terminal List,” so it’s no surprise we’re getting another in the form of “The Runner.” This original movie feels like “Speed” meets “Taken.” It’s built on a ruthless premise that demands constant motion, meaning if the protagonist stops running, the consequences are instantly fatal. Clocking in at a brisk 84 minutes, the film seems to cut out all filler to deliver a non-stop burst of suspense.
Maia Marten (Gal Gadot) is a successful London lawyer whose morning jog takes a terrifying turn when she receives a call telling her that her young son has been kidnapped. The anonymous caller gives Maia a series of instructions she must follow if she wants to see him again, forcing her to race across London on foot. As the demands become increasingly dangerous, Maia is pushed further out of her comfort zone while trying to work out who is behind the kidnapping.

‘The Grand Tour’ (September 4)
This new chapter of “The Grand Tour” marks a major new beginning for the global motoring franchise. Shifting gears from the old-school pub banter of the original trio, the new era leans into a faster, slightly absurd, digital-first style of humor while keeping the spirit of wild road trips. The atmospheric core is built around putting totally unsuitable cars into unforgiving environments, like racing track cars across African deserts or testing high-performance vehicles against fighter jets.
“The Grand Tour” returns with a brand-new presenting trio as Francis Bourgeois joins James Engelsman and Thomas Holland for a six-episode motoring adventure. The new hosts travel across the globe, putting a range of unusual and high-performance cars through increasingly ambitious challenges. Their journey takes them from the deserts of Angola to Malaysia and California, where they explore local car culture, test cutting-edge vehicles and take on some seriously unconventional tasks.

‘Neagley’ (September 16)
For the first time, “Reacher” is getting its own spinoff with “Neagley,” which expands Prime Video’s massive action universe. Maria Sten steps into the spotlight to lead the series, reprising her fan-favorite role as the brilliant former 110th Special Investigations sergeant. The show is overseen directly by “Reacher” creator Nick Santora alongside Nicholas Wootton, ensuring the same hard-hitting, fast-paced DNA. Even better, Prime Video is dropping all 8 episodes at once on premiere day.
Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) is a former member of the Army’s 110th Special Investigations Unit who now works as a private investigator in Chicago. When someone she once knew and cared about dies in what appears to be a suspicious accident, Neagley refuses to accept the official explanation. She begins investigating the circumstances surrounding the death, drawing on her military experience and the skills she developed alongside Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson).

‘You+Me - Against the World’ (September 18)
If you’re a romance fan, you’ll want to stay tuned for “You+Me - Against the World.” This French original film is clearly designed to capitalize on the massive global success of modern romantic thrillers. It’s adapted directly from the runaway hit book trilogy by popular French author Emma Green, which sold nearly a million copies across France. This film isn’t like standard campus romances, though, since the story is driven by an unidentified figure watching them from the shadows, threatening to expose life-ruining secrets.
Alma Lancaster (Vittoria Di Savoia) is an 18-year-old university student from a wealthy family who believes she is studying law, while she secretly follows her ambition of becoming a filmmaker. Her life changes when she meets Vadim Arcadi (Lucas Barski), a rebellious 20-year-old student with a troubled past. When the pair are forced to work together on a student film, their initial clashes gradually turn into a relationship neither expected. However, their growing connection is complicated when someone begins watching them.

‘The Love Hypothesis’ (September 23)
One of the biggest releases this month has to be “The Love Hypothesis,” a major book-to-screen romantic comedy that could be a standout for the fall. The film is adapted from Ali Hazelwood’s 2021 New York Times bestselling novel, which originally began as a viral internet fan-fiction sensation before becoming a huge hit in the contemporary romance world. I have fairly high hopes for the adaptation, too, given that it was directed by Claire Scanlon, who previously helmed the incredible Netflix rom-com “Set It Up.”
Olive Smith (Lili Reinhart) is a Ph.D. candidate whose life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that her best friend, Ahn (Rachel Marsh), has feelings for Olive’s crush. Hoping to convince Ahn that she has moved on, Olive impulsively kisses intimidating biology professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman). When the incident sparks rumors around campus, Adam suggests they pretend to be a couple, giving them both something to gain from the arrangement. Soon, these rules become increasingly difficult to follow.
