New series and seasons on Amazon Prime Video in August
While for some the summer holidays are already coming to an end, others are just beginning their well-deserved vacation. Amazon Prime Video is also taking it easy in August, but there are three eagerly awaited series premieres. We can also look forward to the second season of the teen thriller “Cruel Summer” – fitting for August.
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart – available August 3rd
This Amazon Original is based on the novel of the same name by Holly Ringland. Our heroine, Alice Hart, is only nine years old when she loses her parents in a fire. How did this happen? Unexplained. Her grandmother June takes Alice in on her flower farm, which she runs with other women. Alice quickly grows into this adopted family of strong and hurt women who are viewed with suspicion by the other small town residents. But over time, Alice realizes that the secrets run deep in her family. She eventually returns to Thornfield as a grown woman and must confront these mysteries and the dramatic events of her childhood. Why did her parents have to die?

Ready for goosebumps and excitement? The second season of “Cruel Summer” revolves around friendship – and love affairs? – between Megan, Isabella and Luke, who really just want to have a nice last summer of high school. But a catastrophic event tears open a precipitous abyss. Any more word would be a spoiler.

Enable Social Media Harlan Coben’s Shelter: The Black Butterfly – out August 18th
This Amazon Original is also based on a book, namely the bestselling novel by Harlan Coben, which accordingly made it into the title of the series. Thriller, action, coming-of-age – this genre mix has already proven itself in “Cruel Summer” and should now help this series newcomer to succeed: Instead of enjoying his youth, Mickey Bolitar has had a terrible year: his father died before his eyes in a car accident, his mother tries rehab, and Mickey himself has to move in with his uncle in a small town in New Jersey. There he meets his classmate Ashley, who soon disappears without a trace. Mickey can’t and won’t take another loss! With the help of his friends Ema and Loffel he tries to find Ashley again. Along the way, he uncovers the trail of a mysterious organization, a black butterfly, and the true secret of his father’s death.

These were the new series and seasons on Amazon Prime Video in July
Punctually on July 1st, Amazon Prime Video started the fourth season of “The Rookie”, the police series about career changers and ex-constructor John Nolan (Nathan Fillion). But one of the biggest highlights was waiting at the end of the month, namely the continuation of the successful series “Good Omens” by Neil Gaiman. But not only angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley provided entertaining hours in July. Amazon bolstered its comedy offerings with Libre De Reir and The Sex Lives of College Girls. On the other hand, it got romantic in the second season of “The Summer I Grown Pretty” and “The Horror of Dolores Roach” provided a pinch of horror.

Good Omens (Season 2) – out July 28
Good Omens fans have been waiting for a sequel for a long time.

After successfully averting Armageddon and the destruction of the world, angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley could actually enjoy their lives. Actually. Because Aziraphale’s former superior, Archangel Gabriel, has disappeared from heaven and is now roaming the earth confused.
