A Prime Video original, this espionage thriller stars Chris Pine, Laurence Fishburne, Thandiwe Newton, and Jonathan Pryce. The film sees the hunt for a mole amid a conspiracy theory about a terror attack that the CIA failed to stop. If that wasn't a complicated enough situation, Newton's Celia and Pine's Henry used to be lovers – and Celia seems to be the most untrustworthy of all. 

Outer Range – April 15

This original series stars Josh Brolin as rancher Royal Abbott, who discovers a mystery in the wilderness of Wyoming. The show begins with the Abbott family dealing with the disappearance of Rebecca, their daughter-in-law, and then another family makes a move for their land. Throw in a sudden death and a strange, supernatural event, and you've got the makings of a Western mystery thriller. The first two episodes debut on April 15, with the rest following two a week on Fridays.
