1. Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter (2026) — Amazon Prime Video
Premiering just ahead of the late-summer tournament circuit, this all-access feature documentary offers a raw and unfiltered look at one of the greatest tennis champions in history. Tracing his journey from a childhood shaped by conflict in war-torn Serbia to claiming 24 Grand Slam titles, the film combines rare archival footage with candid interviews from Djokovic, his family, and rival tennis legends. It explores not just his athletic dominance, but the relentless mental fire and controversies that defined his legacy.

2. Good Fortune (2025) — Amazon Prime Video
Written and directed by Aziz Ansari, this high-concept comedy makes its official streaming debut with a stellar ensemble cast including Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, and Keke Palmer. The narrative follows a well-meaning but slightly clumsy celestial angel (Reeves) who attempts to intervene in the lives of a struggling gig-economy worker and a wealthy venture capitalist to show them what truly matters—only for the cosmic body-swap experiment to go hilariously off the rails.

3. The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls — Amazon Prime Video
In this unique unscripted crossover, survival icon Bear Grylls takes the cast of the globally acclaimed historical series The Chosen entirely out of their comfort zones. Jonathan Roumie, Paras Patel, Elizabeth Tabish, and creator Dallas Jenkins swap movie sets and historical costumes for rugged canyons, scorching deserts, and dense forests. Facing steep cliff climbs, wilderness navigation, and raw survival challenges, the series balances genuine adrenaline with open conversations on faith, fame, and endurance.

Tapping into pure retro nostalgia, this vibrant coming-of-age comedy tracks a group of modern teenagers who stumble across an analog time-capsule device that lands them squarely in the summer of 1996. Navigating a world of dial-up internet, mixtape culture, and baggy flannel shirts without smartphones, the gang races to fix their timeline before getting permanently stranded. It delivers a witty, feel-good watch loaded with 90s pop-culture easter eggs.
