New on Prime Video This Week: Top Movies & Series (Aug 24–30, 2026)

Here is what is new on Amazon Prime Video in the United States for the week of August 24 through August 30, 2026, chosen with viewers 65 and older in mind. It is a quiet week for new titles, with two movies worth your time and no new series to report, so we will keep it simple and honest.

Highlights for the Week

What is the one to watch this week?

Nickel Boys, without question. It is an award-winning drama, nominated for Best Picture, about two young men enduring a brutal reform school in 1960s Florida. It is powerful, important filmmaking, though it does not shy away from hard truths.

Is there anything lighter on offer?

There is. The Last Sunrise is a summer romance set on a sunny Spanish island, with Eva Longoria among the cast. It is the softer choice of the two, but do note it carries an R rating.

Are there any new series this week?

Not this time. Prime Video did not add new movies-and-series programming beyond these two films during this window, so the movie picks are where to look.

Top New Movies on Prime Video This Week

Aug 26 – The Last Sunrise (2026)

A college student spends a summer on the island of Mallorca and falls for a charming local who shows her a side of life she has never known. Eva Longoria features in the cast of this romantic drama.

The scenery is beautiful and the mood is easy, which makes it a pleasant escape. One caution worth flagging: it is rated R and has some steamy, grown-up moments, so it is best watched on your own or with a partner rather than the grandchildren.

Aug 27 – Nickel Boys (2024)

Based on Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, this is the story of two Black boys sent to a cruel reform school in 1960s Florida, and the friendship that helps them survive it. It earned a Best Picture nomination.

This is a remarkable, deeply moving film for viewers who appreciate serious storytelling and a bit of history. It is filmed in an unusual, personal style that draws you right in. Be prepared for painful scenes of injustice; the reward is a story that stays with you.
