Whether you’re looking for laughter or thrills, Prime Video should satisfy you this week with great new features: BDE, the first season of The Consultant or the sequel to The Last of Us…
The Consultant, season 1 – Friday, February 24
You probably know his face for the roles of endearing Dr. Schultz (Django Unchained) and sadistic Hans Landa (Inglourious Basterds), which won him two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor in 2010 and 2013.
After his recent appearances in Rifkin’s Festival, The French Dispatch and Pinocchio, Christoph Waltz is back in a darker and wackier role than ever.
In this new Prime Video series, the actor embodies the enigmatic Regus Patoff. While CompWare is undergoing a corporate merger, Patoff is hired as a consultant. Its objective: to sort the employees to designate the weak links to be eliminated. Quickly, he becomes their worst nightmare…

The 8 episodes of this dark and cruel satire of the world of work, which does not lack humor, are to be discovered from February 24, exclusively on Prime Video.
BDE – Friday, February 24
Like every year, friends get together to spend a weekend in Savoie. Together, they once formed the craziest student office (BDE) of a business school and reminisce about their fondest memories by the fireside.
But their reunion takes an unexpected turn when they discover that a much younger BDE has planned to spend the weekend at the same place.
With his talent for quirky humor and a skillfully dosed irreverence, Michaël Youn portrays two generations: the somewhat overwhelmed “old” (Youn himself but also Héléna Noguerra, Lucien Jean-Baptiste and Vincent Desagnat) facing a totally crazy youth (Manon Azem, Rayane Bensetti, Lola Dubini, Ludovik…).
A sassy family comedy, presented at the Alpe d’Huez festival, ideal for concluding the winter sports season!
Candyman – Tuesday, February 28
Before directing The Marvels, Nia DaCosta distinguished herself in 2021 with Candyman. Sequel to the cult 1992 film and attempt to reboot its universe, this new opus was approved and produced by one of the most essential masters of horror of our time, Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us, Nope).
In the insalubrious city of Cabrini Green, in the heart of Chicago, a ghost story circulates: a killer straight out of hell, a sharp hook as a hand, could be invoked by whoever repeats his name five times in front of a mirror.
Ten years after the destruction of the city, Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is saddened by the public’s lack of interest in his artistic career. When he hears about the legend of Candyman, he is inspired by it to create his most beautiful works… to the point of putting himself in danger.
These films and series are to be seen this week on Prime Video.
