Amazon Prime Video: the most anticipated series and films in 2022
What does Amazon Prime Video have in store for us in the new year? Well full of beautiful things, to believe a teaser recently shared on social networks, which indeed gives a nice overview of the programs to come …
We can say that 2022 is off to a good start on Amazon Prime Video. As we have seen through our selection of releases announced for this month of January, the famous platform of the e-commerce giant will already be full of new products in the coming days. On attending in particular The tender bar, a new film by George Clooney, starring Ben Affleck, which will arrive this Friday. Then all the more Spencer, the new biopic on Lady Di, this time worn by Kristen Stewart, in two weeks. And that will only be the start.
The boys, season 3
Obviously, it is with its shock series that Amazon Prime Video opens this teaser. Especially since it begins to be long overdue, this season 3 of The boys. Butcher and the others have in fact not given any sign of life in 2021, except in various promotional images for this new season on a firm footing, presenting new Supers like Soldier Boy, Blue Hawk or the Red Countess… The bad news is that the platform still does not give a release date. But the good news, for the little info, is that this season 3 could well be accompanied by one, even maybe even two spin-offs in 2022!
Totems, season 1
Just after The boys, Amazon Prime Video presents in its teaser an as yet unseen series. Her name is Totems, and this is a new production made in France ! While the streaming service has unfortunately not renewed Mixed, his very first hexagonal soap opera which was nevertheless full of qualities, other original French creations should indeed see the light of day soon. So starting with Totems, a spy series set in the middle of the Cold War, including Niels Schneider, José Garcia, Lambert Wilson and Ana Girardot in the cast. Once again, no date, but we assume that it should not be too late … Unlike the other French series, which is all the more eagerly awaited, Greek salad, the sequel announced as a serial of the saga The Spanish inn by Cédric Klapisch, who does not even appear in this teaser …
The Savages, season 2
It was the little nugget of back to school 2020 on Amazon Prime Video. At first glance, The Savages we immediately asked Lost, with his group of young people castaway from a plane crash on a desert island. Then by digging a little, the survivalist series quickly revealed to us its own identity, with a good dose of mystery, the existential questions of these adolescents all coming from different horizons. Above all, the show gave us a completely unexpected finale, closing its first season on a sacred suspense. As a result, fans have been waiting for more than one now to see the rest of this little experience… So it will be for 2022, that’s for sure.
Carnival Row, season 2
Here is a series that will have been delayed even longer! Because, Carnival Row is one of Amazon Prime Video’s first original shock productions, dating back to summer 2019, all the same. What explains this delay between seasons 1 and 2 is of course its ambitious nature, but also a shoot somewhat disturbed by the pandemic, obviously. Launched in November 2019, it was only completed last September, that is to say. But as what, everything comes at the point to who knows how to wait: Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne will finally be back this year for new fantastic Victorian adventures.
PSG – OM, episode 102
So no, this is not an original Classico movie, but a real football poster. Not a little proud to hold the broadcasting rights for Ligue 1, Amazon Prime Video has indeed highlighted this match scheduled between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille in its teaser. And for once, unless the schedule of the French championship is disrupted in the coming months, on a date for this meeting which will therefore be to be followed live and exclusively on the platform: next April 17.
Reach, season 1
Warning: explosive new Amazon Prime Video original series in sight. Attack, as the name suggests, it is a new adaptation of Lee Child’s successful literary saga, but therefore for the small screen this time. After being played in the cinema by a certain Tom Cruise, the former American soldier who lives without ties and will conduct his own investigations will be played here by Alan Ritchson, a big guy who fits better to the skin of the famous character (you could in particular be able to see him as Hawk in Titans, from Gloss in Hunger games, or even before that of Aquaman in Small town…). This first season of Attack will also pick up the story where it started, following the plot of the first novel, Slaughter area. And now you won’t have much time to wait before you can find out, since it is announced for February 4th!
After always happy
If you are a fan, this title should make you jump for joy. Because there is After inside, and thatAfteris THE romantic saga in vogue in recent years. Adaptation of a fanfiction, like Fifty Shades of grey before it, this series of films has become a phenomenon since the arrival of the first chapter in 2019. And coming to other programs mentioned on Amazon Prime Video, what is good with this franchise is that it returns without fail every year! So, having recently discovered the Chapter 3, available since last October, you will be able to see the continuation of the famous love story between Tessa and Hardin during 2022. Continuation… and end? Although this title is reminiscent of a happy ending (read it backwards, it gives Happy until the end of time, that is Happy forever in French …), on the account 5 volumes on the side of the novels. What to expect to see a After: Chapter 5 to land in 2023?
LOL who laughs, goes out !, season 2
Subscribers know it: Amazon Prime Video doesn’t just do movies, series, and soccer. The platform also offers many original shows, full of humor and especially stars. We think in particular of True story, which made us discover anecdotes of incredible stars, or to Celebrity Hunted, who recently saw well-known personalities from France being hunted down by experts … And then there is the funniest of all: LOL who laughs, sort it out!. A reality TV like no other, where professional comedians are locked together, required not to laugh. The first season was tasty, the second will be at least as much, if not more so. Co-hosted by Philippe Lacheau and Alexandra Lamy, it will present a shocking new cast: Eric and Ramzy, Gérard Darmon, Audrey Fleurot, Camille Lellouche, Alice David, Melha Bedia, Panayotis Pascot, Ahmed Sylla, and Just Riadh.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, season 4
Finally ! Midge will be making his comeback on Amazon Prime Video this year! Also absent in 2021, the New Yorker played by Rachel Brosnahan will return to the platform very soon for new adventures. A season 4 more precisely, which will see it enter the 1960s! A new era for this housewife from the Upper East Side who is the price of passion for stand-up, but whose artistic choices are increasingly disrupting her social and family life… next February!
The Lord of the Rings, season 1
Finally and especially : Amazon Prime Video saved the best for last in this teaser, waiting until the last seconds to lift the veil on THE most anticipated series of the year. Moreover, she did not even have to specify her name, that all the fans could instantly understand that it was indeed her. It only took a few musical notes, before even seeing an image, for us to know that it is The Lord of the Rings that the platform announces as well for 2022. It was about time after all, many are those which can not wait any more to wait for the new adaptation of the work of Tolkien. Well, we will still have to wait a bit, since it will not be broadcast until September 2 …
Of course, this is all just a (nice) glimpse of the many programs that Amazon Prime Video will certainly introduce us to throughout the year. Stay connected on SFR News, we will not fail to keep you informed of films and series not to be missed on the platform!
