Prime Video doesn’t roll out new content as constantly as Netflix, but there are still some notable releases this week worth checking out. If you’re planning your weekend watchlist, it can be tough to know which picks are actually worth your time. That said, I’m skipping over Prime’s new action-comedy “Playdate” because even though it’s currently No. 1, it’s certainly not worthy of a spot on your watchlist.
If you’re looking for a quick guide to the newer Prime Video releases in November 2025, you’ve come to the right place. This week’s top highlights include a modern-day Hitchcock thriller movie, a historical legal drama based on a true story, and a very well-loved musical with a mood-boosting soundtrack.
‘Drop’
DROP | Official Trailer – YouTube
Watch On
Calling a thriller “Hitchcockian” is about as high a compliment as you can give, and Christopher Landon’s “Drop” definitely earns it. The movie channels the signature suspense and tension that made Hitchcock legendary. Featuring Meghann Fahy from “The White Lotus,” this sleek thriller keeps you hooked from start to finish. Sharp-eyed viewers might spot the main twist coming, but it’s an absolute thrill to watch.

During dinner, she starts receiving anonymous “drops” on her phone: cryptic and increasingly menacing messages that demand she follow instructions or her young son and sister will be in danger. As the threats escalate, Violet realizes her tormentor is somewhere in the upscale restaurant.

‘Belén’
Belén | Official Trailer – YouTube
Watch On
One of Prime Video’s original releases this week includes “Belén,” an Argentine legal drama based on a true story. Part eye-opening, part frustrating, this story follows a familiar narrative structure but tackles complex themes with striking clarity and empathy. It’s a powerful reminder of the courage, sacrifices, and consequences involved in standing up for justice and personal freedom.
In the northern province of Tucumán, Argentina, Julieta (Camila Pláate) is a young woman falsely accused of infanticide following a medical emergency. Her only chance at justice rests with Soledad Deza (Dolores Fonzi), a determined lawyer who risks her career and reputation to defend Julieta, challenging the legal system and shining a light on broader issues of women’s rights and social justice.

‘Mamma Mia!’
Mamma Mia! Official Trailer #1 – Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried Movie (2008) HD – YouTube
Watch On
One reason “Mamma Mia!” remains so memorable is its sheer, joyful chaos, which only heightens the movie’s charm and romantic energy. Beyond its technical strengths, it succeeds perfectly at what it sets out to do: entertain audiences and reignite our love for ABBA’s timeless hits. You can’t help but get swept up in the joy when a wonderfully uplifting song like Dancing Queen fills the air.
In the sun‑drenched Greek island of Kalokairi, young Sophie Sheridan (Amanda Seyfried) is about to get married, but she doesn’t know who her father is. She secretly invites three men from her mother Donna’s (Meryl Streep) past — Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Bill (Stellan Skarsgård), and Harry (Colin Firth) — believing that one of them must be her dad. As the three arrive, old romances rekindle, secrets surface, and Sophie’s wedding weekend becomes a joyous, chaotic celebration.
Stream “Mamma Mia!” on Prime Video starting November 15
