Carnival Row season 2
Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom will share the poster again this year the second season of carnival series. This fantastic series takes us to the city of Burgue, where many fey creatures immigrated after the war between the Alliance and the Pact. But they are not really welcome, and whether or not they are welcome is a very tense political issue. In this context, Philo, an inspector investigating a series of fairy murders, meets Vignette, a fairy who reminds him of his past. Between investigation and fantasy, carnival series had some success and was therefore naturally renewed for a second season. Unfortunately, the health crisis was there and pretty much turned the schedule upside down. That’s why the wait was so long. But it’s almost over: it will begin airing on February 17, 2023 and we already have the full schedule. With two episodes a week, this final season will conclude on March 17th. Note to fans of the series, this season will be the last.
Gen V
If we most certainly have to wait until 2024 to see season 4 of The youngThere will still be something to eat for Supers fans in 2023. Gen Vthe spin-off of The youngwill actually land this year. For those who haven’t seen the project, you knowHis new series takes us into the corridors of Godolkin University, which is clearly not a university like the others. In fact, it’s the only facility entirely dedicated to young superstars. Between superpowers and working hormones, the mixture already promises to be explosive. And the revealed teaser gives us the color: Gen V
Good omens season 2
You’re gonna take a good dose of divine conflict, right? Well that’s good because Good omens returns for a second season in summer 2023. If you haven’t been following this Amazon Prime series, a little recap is in order. It all begins at the dawn of the apocalypse. It is destiny, this event shall occur and destroy mankind. But without counting the angel Aziraphal and the demon Rampa, who after 6000 years on earth decide to change the course of fate. This story is not original as it is an adaptation of the novel good omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. But this second season is meant to deviate from that to explain that to us specifically “The strange friendship between Aziraphale, a finicky angel and rare book dealer, and the hyperactive demon Rampa”. This direct continuation of the events of the first season consists of six episodes.
hunter season 2
Another season 2 with Hunterthe series about Nazi hunters 32 years after the end of World War II. As a reminder, this small group, led by an Auschwitz survivor, is relentlessly tracking down the members of a secret organization bent on establishing the Fourth Reich, a brand new state ruled by Nazism. Season 1 of Hunters ended on a major cliffhanger as far as we know that Hitler (played by Udo Kier) and his wife Eva Braun were still alive and hiding in South America. Suffice it to say that in Season 2 our Nazi hunters have a big target to shoot down. And we need to be effective because this season will be like that carnival seriesthe last. See you on January 13th to discover it.
Invincible season 2
The young isn’t the only comic that got the rights to an adaptation on Amazon Prime. Invincible by Robert Kirkman had the same privilege, this time in the form of an animated series. Airing since March 26, 2021, it chronicles the adventures of Mark Grayson, son of Earth’s most powerful superhero (exactly that). When you are part of such a line, the pressure is great. Especially since Mark, when he unfolds his first powers, has just celebrated his seventeenth birthday and is therefore fully grown. Now he can finally realize his dream alongside his father. But a terrible event will come and change everything. The series was acclaimed by critics and viewers. It is therefore quite natural that they expected the announcement of a second season. The latter was only confirmed shortly before the end of 2022, and that with a (wide) release window, namely the year 2023.
INVINCIBLE, the groundbreaking comic book from the creator of The Walking Dead, will soon be a series on Prime Video. Watch the first three episodes this Friday.

Red
with RedAmazon Prime welcomes big names to its platform. The action comedy directed by Jake Kasdan (the last two jumanji) will indeed honor the actor who played Captain America, Chris Evans, but also Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock. In the cast we also find Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and Lucy Liu (Kill Bill: Volume 1, Charlie’s Angels). Otherwise we have little information about the film, but some details are still known. One of them is particularly important: as strange as it may seem, it’s going to be a Christmas movie. The idea is to revive the myths of the end of the year with punch. If the feature film is successful, we can even expect it to become a new franchise. Given the subject matter, you won’t be surprised to learn that the film is slated for the 2023 holiday season.
street house
The films continue street house. This time it’s a remake of a 1989 film about the life of a mysterious nightclub bouncer (played by Patrick Swayze) who is determined to put an end to local corruption. For the street house from Amazon Prime we’re going to change the situation a bit, since our protagonist will be a former UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) fighter. As in the original film, he takes a job as a bouncer, but this time at a Florida Keys bar. He will quickly realize that something is going on in the shadows and must act. It’s Jake Gyllenhaal who will lend his facial features to the bouncer. And he won’t be alone, because many actors have already been announced for this film. Among them we find UFC fighter Conor McGregor, who will take his first steps on screen. To see that, go to the year 2023.

forced marriage
Jennifer Lopez will be on all screens in 2023. If they are on the poster of The mother on netflix, You can also find it on forced marriage on Amazon Prime. For the occasion, the singer will put on a wedding dress. She will play Darcy, a young woman engaged to Tom (Josh Duhamel). For their wedding, the two lovers dream of a heavenly destination, cut off from all civilization. So they go to an exotic location, but nothing will go as planned. Adventure, funny situations and action, that’s what this film promises us, scheduled for January 27, 2023. At the helm is Jason Moore, who has excelled primarily as a director The hit girls etc sisters. In addition to Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel, we are also expecting Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus) and Lenny Kravitz (hunger games).
The Continental
We return to the side of the series with a universe that you surely know: that of John Wick. No, no Keanu Reeves on the horizon. The actor we particularly know matrix and Cyberpunk 2077 will not be the star of this spin-off. And with good reason, the focus is not on the character of John Wick, but that of Winston Scott, his sidekick. Ian McShane, who played him in the films, will make way for a younger actor, namely Colin Woodell. This change is not surprising since this series aims to tell us the origins of this character as well as his emblematic hotel, the Continental. Over three episodes The Continental aims to immerse us in the clandestine world of 70’s New York, where all recording is allowed and the ghosts of the past are never far away. In the cast we also find actor Mel Gibson in the role of Cormac. See you in 2023 to find out.
Bonus: (?) The Last of Us (?)
We end up with a project that particularly touches us because it is Adaptation of a well-known video game license: The last of us. The history of the Naughty Dog license is brought back to life through a series starring Pedro Pascal (Joel) and Bella Ramsay (Ellie). HBO is responsible. And here we answer the question that may be on your mind: what can The Last of Us series do in an Amazon Prime selection? Well, because we recently learned that an agreement has been signed between HBO and Amazon. The latter will allow American users to find HBO Max channels on Amazon Prime Video for a slightly higher subscription price. So, a priori, they will be able to discover The last of us Thanks to Amazon Prime. So we hope this supplement crosses the Atlantic to land here as well. Otherwise it will inevitably go through OCS. On another register, we’re also not sure to see the landing of season 2 of The wheel of timewhose shooting on 18.
