by

Looking for something to watch on Prime Video this weekend (January 2–4, 2026)? Check out these three options: a captivating 8-part mystery thriller, a fantastic but often overlooked film starring Tom Hardy, and a critically acclaimed TV series that won’t be available on Prime Video for long.

Ebaster helps Prime Video users find their next favorite show by showcasing new releases, popular titles, and well-regarded hidden gems – perfect for a weekend of watching in early 2026. We also have binge-watching guides for Netflix and Paramount+.

The Better Sister

If you’re looking for a thrilling series to watch, check out The Better Sister on Prime Video. It originally came out last May, but it’s a fantastic binge-watch! With eight suspenseful episodes and a great cast including Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Biel, and Corey Stoll, you could easily finish it in a weekend.

In The Better Sister, Chloe Taylor (Biel) is a devoted mother who attempts to support her sister, Nicky (Banks), in her struggle with addiction. When Chloe’s husband, Adam (Stoll), is murdered, her life is thrown into chaos and her family is fractured, especially when the prime suspect is revealed. If you enjoy suspenseful thrillers like Run Away or The Beast in Me on Netflix, The Better Sister is a perfect weekend binge-watch.

Taboo

If you’re looking for a great show to watch, check out Taboo on Prime Video. It’s a fantastic, but often forgotten, series starring Tom Hardy. The eight-episode psychological thriller follows James Keziah Delaney, who unexpectedly returns home after being presumed dead for years. He aims to restore his family’s shipping business during the War of 1812.

Created by Hardy and Steven Knight, the mind behind the popular series Peaky Blinders, Taboo boasts a strong cast including Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Stephen Graham (Adolescence), and Jonathan Pryce (Slow Horses). If you enjoy gritty historical dramas such as House of Guinness or are a big fan of Tom Hardy, Taboo is definitely worth watching on Prime Video.

The Twilight Zone

If you’ve been meaning to watch the classic The Twilight Zone (the original series, not the newer version from Paramount+), now’s the time! It’s leaving Prime Video on January 6, 2026, so this weekend is one of your last opportunities to enjoy all its episodes.

Considered a landmark in television history, The Twilight Zone continues to be a hugely influential science fiction show. Each episode offers a captivating and thought-provoking story that’s both intellectually stimulating and highly entertaining. If you enjoy contemporary, idea-driven sci-fi like Black Mirror and Pluribus, be sure to catch The Twilight Zone on Prime Video this weekend before it’s gone.
