With titles like The Rings of Power, The Legend of Vox Machina and The Wheel of Time, fantasy shows are clearly a priority for Prime Video. While you can expect to find these original fantasy series every time you open your streaming app, choosing a fantasy movie might be trickier, since Prime updates its selection often.
If you have Prime Video, it’s time to find out what fantasy worlds you can explore without ever leaving your couch. You can access the streaming service if you have an Amazon Prime membership or grab a $9 monthly standalone subscription. If you prefer your fantasy fare without ads, it costs an extra $3 per month to remove them.
Like all things Lord of the Rings? Not only does Prime Video carry Peter Jackson’s original film trilogy — including the Oscar-best-picture-winning The Return of the King — but you can binge all three Hobbit flicks, too.
This beloved film boasts George Lucas as an executive producer, and takes audiences on a thrilling adventure with baby princesses, bravery and magic. Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer star in the flick, which is just another example of how formidable Prime Video’s current fantasy lineup is right now.
In Jim Henson’s iconic dark fantasy film, a young Gelfling named Jen — seemingly the last of his kind — must go on a harrowing quest to save the world from the villainous (and unfortunate-looking) Skeksis. The movie features animatronic puppets, but no human characters.
Puppets also steal the show in the cult classic Jim Henson film Labyrinth. A teenage girl named Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) faces goblins, their king (David Bowie) and a maze as she tries to rescue her baby stepbrother. Both Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal count as family fare, though Labyrinth will probably inspire fewer nightmares.
