Extensive Library of Original Content
The Amazon Prime Video in the MENA region is home to around 900 movies and 700 TV seasons, with genres ranging from high-fantasy, science fiction, drama, comedy, action, romance, and lots more.
But the mark of a quality streaming service is the original content it offers, and Prime Video is absolutely stacked to the brim with some of the most popular series and movies in the world, starring some of the biggest actors in the movie industry.
Subscribers can currently enjoy the first on-going season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a TV series based on the Tolkein’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’ book series, which has attracted over 25 million viewers worldwide per episode. Continuing with the theme of fantasy, subscribers can also watch the first season of The Wheel of Time, a show based on the novel series of the same name by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. The show has gained immense popularity, so much so that it has already been renewed for two more seasons.
Also on offer is the first three seasons of the Emmy winning ‘The Boys’, an almost-satirical show that riffs on the popular superhero genre, and takes it up a notch with its high-octane action, razor-sharp dark comedy, and bouts of unbridled gore. It’s developed by Eric Kripke, and stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, and Erin Moriarty.
If you are looking for some crime-action drama, Amazon Prime Video Original’s The Terminal List should be on your list. Starring Chris Pratt, the show is based on Jack Carr's novel, and tells the story of a NAVY Seal officer who seeks to avenge the murder of his family.
There is also the Reacher series, starring Alan Ritchson, Malcolm Goodwin, and Will Fitzgerald. The series is based on the book series of the same name by Lee Child, and features a story of a former US military officer who helps in the investigation of corrupt politicans and bussinessmen after he is framed for murder. The first season was based on the book, Killing Floor, while the second season will be based on, Bad Luck and Trouble.
