From thrillers like Citadel to best-selling novel adaptations like Daisy Jones, here are the best shows coming to Prime Video in 2023.
Amazon Prime is a teeming streaming treasure trove of some of the past decade’s most obscure, fantastic, and underappreciated shows. At the same time, decent picks can feel virtually impossible to filter from the occasionally overpowering abundance of strangely bad titles buried in Prime’s nether reaches.
While Netflix is busy producing more episodes than any one person could (probably) watch, Amazon Prime has remained the go-to site for a few essential pieces of original content. Finding the proper series can be difficult due to the service’s confusing choices. Therefore, we’re here to help. We have listed down some best new shows coming to Amazon Prime Video in 2023.
Dead Ringers
Release Date: 21 April 2023
Dead Ringers is a psychological thriller drama miniseries based on the 1988 film of the same name. It should be obvious that this series about identical twin gynaecologists is not for the faint of heart, given that it is an adaptation of a David Cronenberg movie.
The story revolves around the Mantle twins, both successful gynaecologists, who are on a mission to change the way women give birth, starting in Manhattan. They become involved in a psychosexual plot of lust and betrayal.

The official synopsis reads:
“Eight years ago, Citadel, an independent global spy agency, was destroyed by a new syndicate, Manticore. With their memories wiped, elite agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) barely escaped with their lives. Eight years later, Mason’s former colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), asks for his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order.”
