What's on Prime Video: August 2023

What’s On Prime Video is back! It wasn’t that long ago we were doing a monthly IMDb TV monthly roundup. But very suddenly we lost contact with IMDb and we stopped posting their monthly content. Then we heard from Amazon, who asked if we wanted to feature a monthly What’s On Prime Video article, so we got on board.

Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

We ran a few months of What’s On Prime Video and, again, lost contact with Amazon’s reps. Now we are back in August 2023 with a new installment of What’s On Prime Video! This list is far from exhaustive, as the company sent a massive list too big to share. But it does give you an idea of some titles to expect! Check out what to expect below!

From the blunt yet Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to the romantic yet determined Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty, we are all imperfectly perfect, just as we are. And we have something for you. Every you. Take a look at the campaign spot HERE.
