Prime Video November 2026 series premieres, Digi Mart USA News: November continues to deliver major premieres, and two of the year’s biggest series are now arriving: a long-awaited continuation of The Lord of the Rings universe and a new spinoff of a beloved classic.
With nearly half of November behind us, the year is drawing to a close, but there is still plenty of new film and television to look forward to. This month, Prime Video is releasing two of 2026’s biggest series premieres, one a long-awaited continuation of The Lord of the Rings universe and the other a new spinoff of a beloved classic.
The first series to premiere this November is The Rings of Power, a spinoff of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The series, whose first season was Amazon’s largest TV launch ever, has now produced two successful seasons, and its third season is being released.
The story picks up several years after the dramatic conclusion of the previous season, and Middle-earth is darker than ever. The series is now at the height of the war between the elves and Sauron, as the Lord of Darkness attempts to forge the ruling ring that would give him the advantage he needs to win the war and ultimately conquer Middle-earth.
Despite the pressure to live up to expectations following the success of the film trilogy, The Rings of Power has received mixed reactions from viewers and critics. The series has earned seven Emmy nominations and an average user rating of 6.8 out of 10 on IMDb, while only 48 percent of Rotten Tomatoes user reviews are positive.
Among critics, however, 84 percent are satisfied. According to the rating site, both audiences and critics have rated the second season higher than the first, and if that trend continues, the new season could become a hit.
The second series premiering this November is Blade Runner 2099, which expands the Blade Runner universe that began with the classic 1982 science fiction film. The new eight-episode series picks up 50 years after the spinoff Blade Runner 2049 (2017) ended and takes place in a future Los Angeles where replicants have gained a new position of power.
Viewers meet Cora (Hunter Schafer), a fugitive who chooses to adopt the identity of a blade runner. She must work with the replicant Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), who has only a few days left to live, and together they are drawn into the hunt for a runaway whose secret could destabilize the entire society.
Signs point to Blade Runner 2099 becoming another major hit. The original film, which earned two Oscar nominations, has become a favorite among viewers worldwide, and with an average IMDb rating of 8.1 out of 10, it ranks 202nd among the highest-rated films on the site.
The 2017 spinoff won two Oscars and has a user rating of 8.0 out of 10. Whether Blade Runner 2099 will be equally popular remains to be seen.
Do not miss The Rings of Power and Blade Runner 2099 on Prime Video on their respective November premiere dates.
