What does Prime Video have in store for us for the start of the school year? On the program for this month of September, the long-awaited series The Rings of Power, the Transporter saga with Jason Statham, or even a usurper Jean Dujardin in the comedy The Return of the Hero!
THE UNAVOIDABLE
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – Friday, September 2
The wait is almost over! Friday, September 2, head to Middle-earth to discover the first 2 episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series on Prime Video. More than 20 years after the theatrical release of the first part of Peter Jackson’s trilogy, fans will be able to dive headfirst into the wealthy universe of JRR Tolkien, with a new chapter every Friday on the platform.
The series, whose first of the 5 announced seasons takes place over 8 episodes, retraces the events that occurred during the Second Age, that is several thousand years before the two trilogies. On the program, the forging of the mythical Rings of Power, as well as the rise of the evil Sauron and his unique ring to power… and still so many epic adventures with elves, dwarves and hobbits!
If Galadriel, Isildur, or Elrond are making a comeback (in a younger version barely a few thousand years old), the cast offers new faces, with Morfydd Clark (At the crossroads of the worlds), Robert Aramayo (Game of Thrones) or Nazanin Boniadi (Scandal, Homeland). Ready to go on an adventure?
A Private Affair – Friday, September 16
Jean Reno and Aura Garrido share the poster for the Spanish series A Private Affair, a nice surprise in 8 chapters to discover from September 16 on the platform.
We meet Marina, a budding investigator from the nobility, as well as Héctor, her butler and faithful sidekick. Together, the duo tries to flush out a serial killer who terrorizes a town in Galicia, in the heart of Spain in the 1940s.
Action, a strong heroine, and a touch of humour: A Private Affair is reminiscent of Les Demoiselles du Telephone, from the same trio of creators, namely Teresa Fernández-Valdés, Ramón Campos and Gema Neira.
Prime Video
Poor Miskina – Friday, September 30
When she turns 30, it’s time for Fara to take stock of her life: no guy, no apartment, no job… but a big myopia! To get out of her mess, Fara decides to take charge, but it’s not always easy when social and family pressure come into play.
Miskina, the poor, arrives from September 30 on Prime Video for 8 episodes. Melha Bedia, who plays the main role, goes behind the camera for the very first time, and co-directs with Anthony Marciano, to whom we owe Play and Les Gamins. Alongside Ramzy’s sister, we find comedian Hakim Jemili (Validated), but also Shirine Boutella (Lupin), and Victor Belmondo (Fly me).
HIGHLIGHTS
The Transporter Saga – Thursday, September 1
When it comes to delivering the most sensitive goods, Le Transporteur does not cut corners.
