Prime Video announces bumper slate ahead of Prime Day 2026
Crime, comedy and romance across six languages headline a bumper countdown as Amazon’s loyalty programme turns ten in India
MUMBAI: Prime Video is throwing everything at the wall ahead of Prime Day 2026, and most of it sticks. As Amazon’s membership programme marks a decade in India, the streaming arm has lined up more than 15 films and series across six languages, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, English and Korean, spanning thrillers, action, drama, comedy and romance, in a curated countdown to the year’s biggest shopping bonanza, running from 4th to 6th July.
The line up mixes homegrown firepower with global gloss. On the Indian originals front sits the investigative crime thriller Raakh, season one, starring Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre, alongside the returning fan favourite Gram Chikitsalay season two, comedy drama The Pyramid Scheme, and Alliance, a first of its kind daily reality series hosted by Kunal Kemmu, with fresh episodes dropping every day at noon from 26th June. Members can also catch post theatrical digital premieres of Indian box office heavyweights, including Suriya’s Tamil fantasy action drama Karuppu, Mohanlal’s Malayalam thriller Drishyam 3, and Dacoit in Hindi, featuring Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap.
The international slate holds its own too. English language young adult originals Elle and Every Year After season one join Your Fault London, while Scream 7 brings the horror in English and See You at Work Tomorrow! season one delivers the Korean fix.
The full premiere calendar runs thick and fast: The Pyramid Scheme season one and Dacoit both landed on 5th June, Every Year After season one on 10th June, Karuppu and Raakh season one on 12th June, Your Fault London on 17th June, Drishyam 3 on 18th June, Ginny Weds Sunny 2 and Mareechika on 19th June, See You at Work Tomorrow! season one on 22nd June, Gram Chikitsalay season two on 23rd June, Scream 7 and Alliance both on 26th June, Elle season one on 1st July, and Isakapatnam season one closing out the run on 2nd July.
With titles spanning six languages and every genre from crime thrillers to comedy, the slate underlines the breadth of storytelling Prime Video has built over its decade in India, pulling in stories from home and abroad for every kind of viewer on one platform.
The content blitz arrives alongside the real prize: Prime Day itself, running from 4th to 6th July, with Amazon promising big savings, fresh launches from major and small brands alike, and blockbuster entertainment thrown in. Shoppers using ICICI Bank or SBI credit and debit cards, including EMI transactions, get 10 per cent off, while the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card sweetens the deal further with 5 per cent cashback plus an additional 5 per cent instant discount. To mark the tenth edition, new members can grab annual Prime membership at Rs 999 instead of Rs 1,499, a flat Rs 500 off, while annual Prime Lite drops to Rs 599 from Rs 799. Budget shoppers can join via the Shopping Edition plan from just Rs 399 a year, putting Prime access within reach at every price point. Existing Prime Lite and Shopping Edition members can also upgrade ahead of the big event to unlock the full suite, free and fast delivery, unlimited Prime Video, a rotating library of more than 3,000 e-books, magazines and comics on Prime Reading, monthly free in game content through Prime Gaming, and on demand access to over 100 million songs and 15 million podcast episodes via Amazon Music.
There is more for music lovers too: Prime members can trial Amazon Music Unlimited free for six months, dropping to Rs 99 a month thereafter, while non-Prime members get three months free before paying Rs 119 a month. Travel benefits get a boost as well, with Amazon Pay unlocking up to 25 per cent off flight bookings through a combination of a 10 per cent instant discount, a further 10 per cent cashback capped at Rs 1,000, and 5 per cent Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card rewards, alongside savings of up to 60 per cent on hotel bookings.
Ten years in, Prime is clearly not interested in coasting. Between a content slate built to keep eyeballs glued and a discount stack built to keep wallets open, Amazon is betting that this Prime Day will be its biggest and busiest yet, and judging by the line up, it might just be right.
