September is usually that weird month where everyone is mourning summer but kinda excited to wear a hoodie again. Amazon Prime Video seems to get the vibe. They’ve dumped a massive pile of content onto the service for September 2025, and honestly, it’s a lot to dig through. If you’re looking for new on Amazon Prime September 2025, you've probably noticed it’s a mix of heavy-hitter originals and some cult classics that make for perfect "doom-scrolling at 11 PM" fodder.
The big one? Gen V Season 2.
People were worried about how the show would handle the tragic passing of Chance Perdomo, and the writers have definitely taken a path that feels respectful but keeps that chaotic Godolkin University energy. It’s messy. It’s bloody. It’s exactly what you want if you’re a fan of The Boys universe. But beyond the supes, there’s some sleeper hits like The Girlfriend and a weirdly addictive cooking show with Tilly Ramsay.
The Heavy Hitters: New on Amazon Prime September 2025
If you only have time for one series this month, it’s Gen V Season 2. It drops on September 17. The plot picks up with the world basically under Homelander’s thumb, and the students at Godolkin are stuck in a power vacuum. We’ve got a new Dean who is—shocker—probably a psychopath, and the tension between humans and "supes" is basically at a boiling point. It’s not just a spin-off anymore; it feels like the main event leading into the final season of The Boys next year.
Then there is The Girlfriend. No, it's not a rom-com. It’s a psychological thriller starring Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke. Think Gone Girl meets a very uncomfortable family dinner. Wright plays Laura, a woman who has a "perfect" life until her son brings home Cherry (Cooke). Laura is convinced Cherry is a social climber with a dark secret. Is she right? Or is she just a nightmare mother-in-law? You’ll find out starting September 10.

A Quick Breakdown of the Originals
Let’s look at the dates because missing a premiere is the worst.
- The Runarounds (September 1): Think Outer Banks but with a rock band. It’s about high school grads in Wilmington trying to make it big. Real musicians are in the cast, so the songs actually don’t suck.
- Dish It Out (September 5): Tilly Ramsay (yes, Gordon's daughter) hosting a 32-episode food journey. It’s surprisingly wholesome compared to her dad’s stuff.
- Confidence Queen (September 6): A Korean caper series. Swindlers taking down villains. High energy, very stylish.
- Helluva Boss (September 10): The indie YouTube sensation makes its way to Prime. If you like R-rated animation, this is your jam.
- Every Minute Counts Season 2 (September 12): The earthquake drama continues. It’s heavy, emotional, and very well-acted.
Movies You Actually Want to Watch
Amazon usually loads up the first of the month with licensed movies. September 1 was a goldmine this year. If you’re into the Bourne franchise, they dropped basically all of them. The Bourne Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum, and Legacy. It’s a Matt Damon (and Jeremy Renner) marathon waiting to happen.
But if you want something newer, keep an eye on Black Bag (September 5). It’s an Amazon MGM original movie that people are calling a "twisty spy delight." It’s got that Soderbergh-style slickness to it.
I also noticed The First Omen (2024) popped up on the list for September 1. If you missed that in theaters, it’s legitimately one of the best horror prequels made in a long time. It’s gross, beautiful, and actually scary, which is a rare combo.

Don't Forget the Sports
Thursday Night Football is back. Love it or hate it, it’s the reason many people keep their Prime subscription. The first game hits September 11 with the Commanders taking on the Packers.
If you're more into basketball, the WNBA on Prime is still going strong with a big double-header on September 4. The Phoenix Mercury vs. Washington Mystics is the one to watch there. Prime is clearly trying to own the "sports on weeknights" niche, and it’s working.
Why Does This Schedule Matter?
Look, streaming is getting expensive. Every month we ask if it’s worth keeping the sub. Between the massive library of old movies—we’re talking Casino, Rain Man, and Children of Men—and the high-budget originals like Gen V, Amazon is making a strong case for September.
One thing people often overlook is the FAST channels. They added America’s Got Talent and The Naked Gun files to those free-with-ads sections. It’s basically digital cable for when you don’t want to think.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Watchlist
First off, check the "Leaving Soon" tab. Everyone forgets. Amazon is notorious for dropping a movie on the 1st and then having it disappear by the 30th if it’s a licensed deal.
If you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, you’ve probably noticed Season 3 isn't here yet. Don't panic. Filming just wrapped in December 2025, so we’re looking at a 2026 release for that. For now, you’ve got Gen V to satisfy that big-budget itch.
Actionable Next Steps:
- Mark September 17 on your calendar for the Gen V Season 2 premiere; it’s going to be the most talked-about show of the month.
- Queue up the Bourne trilogy for a weekend binge if you need some comfort-food action.
- Check out The Girlfriend on September 10 if you want a thriller that will make you second-guess your own relatives.
- Set a reminder for Thursday Night Football on September 11 if you're a sports fan—it’s the Packers vs. Commanders season opener on the platform.
