‘Étoile’ Dethroned In Amazon Prime Video’s Top 10 List By A New Show

By: bitcoin ethereum news|2025/05/03 15:00:05

Etoile Étoile has been a solid new addition to Amazon Prime Video’s original line-up, arriving as a compelling comedy/drama from the creator of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman-Palladino. But the rare, binge-watch release has now lost its place to arguably the strongest show in Amazon’s lineup. That would be the resurgence of Reacher season 3, the action series based on the Lee Child books that positively dominates Amazon charts all year round, almost never leaving the top ten and now, back at #1 despite ending all the way back in March, over a full month ago. There have not been any new episodes or follow-up specials issued, this is just how popular the series is, and why it’s getting a spin-off and indefinitely renewed seasons, most likely. Top 10 Étoile has not been renewed for season 2 yet, but given its performance and it’s relatively low cost, I would not worry in the least about that happening, as it’s not a matter of if, but when. Amazon Prime Video is already more generous than most with its show renewals, as they produce far less series than Netflix and want to get the most out of them. So I expect that to happen with at least a few more seasons of Étoile. Mrs. Maisel ran for five seasons, after all. The Summer I Turned Pretty has shot all the way to #3 from rewatches ahead of its third and final season which does not air until July 16, but people are getting a head start early, it seems. Easily the best show on the list right now is The Wheel of Time, which has always been solid but this was an amazing third season that I suggest everyone watch, and this show is far and away better than its more expensive fantasy counterpart, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which Amazon may not love, given its enormous investment in the latter. Powerhouse series Invincible and Houses of David are still hanging on at #8 and #9, both renewed for new seasons already. There’s also a new reality series, Wear Whatever the F You Want, a reprisal of What Not To Wear in a...more kind format, I guess? Sounds odd, certainly, but at #7 it’s doing well already. We will see how long Reacher stays on top, but I do not expect it to leave this list at all until season 4 is released some time next year. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , Bluesky and Instagram . Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy .
