Looking for tips on choosing what to watch on Prime Video this cool early spring weekend? Here we are, like every Friday, with our streaming recommendations. Let’s start with the news to point out the thriller film Pretty Lethal, with the divine Uma Thurman, the comedy series Bait with Riz Ahmed, and – for those who love the genre – the second season of the biblical series The House of David. But, more than ever, don’t make the mistake of neglecting the expiring content section, because at the end of March masterpiece films such as Tenet, Argo, Sully, Lethal Weapon, and an old South Park film, the comedy Yes Man with Jim Carrey and much, much more will be removed from the catalogue. The choice is yours and have a good weekend!

From the moment they arrive, something isn’t right and the girls’ worst forebodings soon prove to be true.

The House of David 2 (USA religious TV series) – on Prime on March 27, 2026
How many episodes and how they come out: 8 binge episodes
In the second season of The House of David, a hero’s victory becomes a dangerous rise to power. Fresh from his triumph over Goliath, David finds himself catapulted into the dark halls of King Saul’s court, where every ally could be an enemy and victory on the battlefield counts for little in the internal war for the crown. As Saul’s paranoia deepens, David is forced to navigate a treacherous terrain between loyalty and ambition. Each step toward his prophesied destiny draws him deeper into a web of palace machinations, to discover that living in the shadow of a king can be more dangerous than facing giants. While there are whispers at court about the succession to the throne, powerful women step forward as true architects of power, weaving alliances that will redesign the future of the kingdom. The second season transforms from a war story to a compelling drama series on the succession to the throne, where the real battles are not fought with swords but with secrets, and the greatest challenge is not to claim power, but to become worthy of it. Between betrayals, love stories and political intrigues, David will have to learn that stepping out of Saul’s shadow will mean replacing it with his own.
