Prime Video‘s collection of old and new movies and TV shows is second to none, and it’s constantly growing and evolving. Add to that a solid mix of interesting, genre-spanning original content that ranges from anime to blockbuster comedies to live sports, and the platform proves it really does have something for everyone.
This November, Prime Video will be dropping two of this fall’s most anticipated shows: Blade Runner 2099 and season 3 of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. That’s some impressive IP right there! The streamer is also releasing two biographical sports shows this month. First up is the new show The Greatest, about the life of Muhammad Ali, arriving Nov. 4. On Nov. 18, catch a new biopic, Madden, about the great coach and commentator (and video game eponym) John Madden.

The series stars Carmen Kassovitz as Lois, a college student who becomes roommates with Lane (Baptiste Masseline), the campus playboy — who is known for creating a ride-share app called Campus Drivers — after her relationship with her high school sweetheart blows up. There’s plenty of friction between the two; they’re opposites whose unlikely cohabitation seems like it’s a bad idea for sure, but it doesn’t stay like that for long.
