Netflix’s Most-Missed Comfort Show Just Found a New Streaming Home
With the sun shining and summer offering plenty of outdoor opportunities, it’s going to take some extremely enticing streaming content to keep you on the couch. Luckily for Prime Video subscribers, the platform currently boasts some of the very best, perfect for indulging in this month. Most notably, the streamer recently acquired one of 2026’s defining films in the form of Project Hail Mary, the Ryan Gosling-led space epic that stunned global audiences and earned just shy of $700 million during its theatrical run. But if you prefer your streaming episodic, fear not, as your weekend can be just as rewarding. With that in mind, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

‘The Ghost in the Shell’ (2026)
IMDb: 7.2/10
Don’t worry, this isn’t the 2017 film starring Scarlett Johansson. This weekend, one of the most exciting new arrivals on any streaming platform is The Ghost in the Shell, based on the 1989 manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow. Set in 2029, the series follows the citizens of Niihama City, a hyper-technological society that has found a way to replace limbs with robotics. Following the release of a visually stunning trailer, which you can view above, it is safe to say that anime fans were particularly excited about this adaptation. Fun, tense, and striking, this cyberpunk gem should be right at the top of your watchlist, whether you’re already a lover of the franchise or not. It might not be to everyone’s taste, but there’s a lot to love about The Ghost in the Shell.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz
Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive?
The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
The Matrix
Mad Max
Blade Runner
Dune
Star Wars
TEST YOUR SURVIVAL →
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do?
The first instinct is often the truest one.
APull on every thread until I understand the system — then figure out how to break it.
BStop asking questions and start stockpiling — food, fuel, weapons. Questions don’t keep you alive.
CKeep my head down, observe carefully, and trust no one until I know who’s pulling the strings.
DStudy the patterns. Every system has a rhythm — learn it, and you learn how to survive it.
EFind the people fighting back and join them. You can’t fix a broken galaxy alone.
NEXT QUESTION →
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely?
What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
AKnowledge. If you understand the system, you don’t need resources — you can generate them.
BFuel. Everything else — movement, power, escape — runs on it.
CTrust. In a world of fakes and informants, a truly reliable ally is rarer than any commodity.
DWater. And after water, information — the two things empires are truly built on.
EShips and credits. The galaxy is big — you survive it by being able to move through it freely.
NEXT QUESTION →
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night?
Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
AThat reality itself is a lie — that everything I experience has been constructed to keep me compliant.
BA raid. No warning, no mercy — just the roar of engines and then nothing left.
CBeing identified. Once someone with power decides you’re a problem, you’re already out of time.
DBeing outmanoeuvred — losing a political game I didn’t even know I was playing.
EThe Empire tightening its grip until there’s nowhere left to run.
NEXT QUESTION →
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?
Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
ASubvert it from the inside — learn its rules well enough to weaponise them against it.
BIgnore it and stay out of its reach. The further from any power structure, the better.
CAppear to comply while doing exactly what I need to do. Visibility is the enemy.
DManoeuvre within it carefully. You can’t beat a system you refuse to understand.
EResist openly when I have to. Some things are worth the risk of being seen.
NEXT QUESTION →
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term?
Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
AUnderground bunkers and server rooms — cramped, artificial, but with access to everything that matters.
BOpen wasteland — brutal sun, no shelter, constant movement. At least the threat is honest.
CA dense, rain-soaked city where you can disappear into the crowd and nobody asks questions.
DMerciless desert — extreme heat, no water, and something enormous living beneath the sand.
EThe fringe — backwater planets and busy spaceports where the Empire’s attention rarely reaches.
NEXT QUESTION →
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart?
The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
AA tight crew of believers who’ve seen behind the curtain and have nothing left to lose.
BOne or two people I’d trust with my life. Any more than that and someone talks.
CNobody, ideally. Alliances are liabilities. I work alone unless I have no choice.
DA community bound by shared hardship and mutual survival — people who need each other to last.
EA ragtag team with wildly different skills and total commitment when it counts.
NEXT QUESTION →
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all?
Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
AI won’t harm the innocent — even the ones who’d report me without hesitation.
BI do what I have to to protect the people I’ve chosen. Everything else is negotiable.
CThe line shifts depending on who’s asking and what’s at stake.
DI draw a long-term line — nothing that compromises my people’s future, even if it’d help now.
ESome lines, once crossed, can’t be uncrossed. I know which ones they are.
NEXT QUESTION →
08
What would actually make survival worth it?
Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
AWaking others up — dismantling the illusion so no one else has to live inside it.
BFinding somewhere — or someone — worth protecting. A reason to keep moving.
CAnswers. Understanding what I am, what any of this means, before time runs out.
DLegacy — shaping the future in a way that outlasts me by generations.
EFreedom — for myself, for others, for every world still living under someone else’s boot.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated
You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

‘Gilmore Girls’ (2000–2007)
Rotten Tomatoes: 87% | IMDb: 8.2/10
In some of the most shocking streaming news of 2026, everyone’s favorite cozy, fast-talking series, Gilmore Girls, was dropped by Netflix. Thankfully, Netflix’s loss is Prime Video’s gain, with every indulgent moment from Stars Hollow now available to binge-watch on Prime Video. This weekend, there are few better options than to sit back, grab some snacks, and tuck into 153 episodes of this undeniable modern classic. The lives of single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her teenage daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel) are now the stuff of legend, as they navigate modern relationships, societal expectations, and the quirkiest of neighborhood characters through some of the most important years of their lives. Supported by an iconic ensemble that includes Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy), Luke Danes (Scott Patterson), and many more, Gilmore Girls is a must-watch.

‘Life on Mars’ (2006–2007)
Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 8.3/10
Named after the David Bowie song of the same name that plays during the series’ inciting incident, this mid-2000s British crime drama is one of the very best of its kind to air this century. The premise is simple: Detective Sam Tyler (John Simm) is involved in a car accident in 2006, only to seemingly wake up trapped in the 1970s. As he tries to search for a way back, he learns to adapt to his new life.
Simply seeing Simm’s Sam Tyler shocked by the state of 1970s policing is entertaining enough, but Matthew Graham, Tony Jordan, and Ashley Pharoah’s Life on Mars also contains one of the most detailed, immersive sci-fi crime stories in modern TV. His constant bickering with new boss Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) often makes for great comedy, and his will-they/won’t-they relationship with Liz White’s PC Annie Cartwright will have you on the edge of your seat.
