It's now less than one month until the Season 2 premiere of Fallout, and the anticipation is close to a boiling point. With The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) and Lucy's (Ella Purnell) return imminent, Prime Video subscribers are counting the days until they finally get another taste of their favorite series, even if this time episodes will drop weekly instead of all at once. But what to do in the meantime? The Prime Video catalog is packed with great shows, but it can be difficult to choose from the endless options. Collider is here to help with this perennial problem, with this list of three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

3 'The Mighty Nein' (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 8.7/10
From humble games of Dungeons & Dragons to a multimedia empire, the rise of Critical Role has been impressive. This past Wednesday, the show based on campaign two of the web series finally made its Prime Video debut, and it makes for perfect viewing this weekend. The Mighty Nein follows a group of misfits who must band together to help save their kingdom from a terrifying evil force.
With a perfect 100% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, there might be no better brand-new option on Prime Video than The Mighty Nein. Featuring a star-studded cast, from Ming-Na Wen and Alan Cumming to Anjelica Huston and Mark Strong, the animated series is utterly gripping throughout, with Collider's Kelcie Mattson praising the show's "assured construction, vibrant animation, and a smattering of Easter eggs for good measure" in her official review.
2 'Leverage' (2008–2012)
Rotten Tomatoes: 92% | IMDb: 7.9/10

Created by John Rogers and Chris Downey, this crime series is a modern-day Robin Hood tale, following a five-member team led by "The Brain," Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton), a former insurance claims investigator. As specialist hackers and thieves, the team band together in an attempt to redistribute the wealth of the filthy rich, especially those who exploit others.
This intelligent, highly entertaining series boasts 77 episodes of pure, unadulterated criminal fun. Beloved when it first aired, Leverage has since gone somewhat under the mainstream radar, although it has maintained a strong cult following. What makes this even more perfect for your weekend viewing is that, should you fall in love with the series, there's even a reboot starring Noah Wyle, titled Leverage: Redemption.
1 'Bunheads' (2012–2013)
Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 7.6/10

Lovers of Gilmore Girls and Amy Sherman-Palladino, listen up: this weekend, you simply can't miss out on the creator's most underrated series, one that the woman herself is still "angry" about the cancellation of. The series follows showgirl Michelle (Sutton Foster), who leaves the bright lights of Las Vegas behind to chase the man of her dreams to his sleepy town. There, she puts her talent for dance to use by working alongside her new mother-in-law at her dance school.
Cruelly cut short at its best, only 18 episodes of Bunheads were ever aired. However, there lies the silver lining, with just 18 episodes making for a plausible and fruitful weekend binge. Featuring a selection of great performances, including a Gilmore Girls reunion between Sherman-Palladino and Kelly Bishop, Bunheads offers plenty of comedy, romance, and drama to keep you entertained.
