Secret Level

  • Release date: December 10
  • Age rating: 16+
  • Episodes: 15
  • Creator: Tim Miller

Secret Level comes from Deadpool director Tim Miller and should delight videogame fans everywhere. An animated anthology series, with some of the creative minds behind LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS on board, each episode will be set in the worlds of different videogames. The voice cast is absolutely stacked with the likes of Arnold Schwaznegger, Keanu Reeves, Kevin Hart, Ariana Greenblatt and Gabrial Luna all set to star. As for the games featured? Expect to see stories set in the universes of Dungeons & Dragons, Armored Core, Pac Man, The Outer Worlds, Warhammer 40,000 and more. A must-watch for anyone who’s ever picked up a controller.

Available to stream globally on Prime Video from December 10.

The Sticky

  • Release date: December 6
  • Age rating: 13+
  • Episodes: 6
  • Creators: Brian Donovan and Ed Herro

With definite Fargo vibes, The Sticky tells the true story of the 2012 maple syrup heist, which saw $18 million worth of the sticky stuff stolen from Quebec's national reserves. When bureaucratic red tape threatens the livelihood of maple syrup farmer Ruth (Margo Martindale), she finds herself in an unlikely alliance with a Boston mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos) and a French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr), plotting the multi-million dollar heist. Coming from producer Jamie Lee Curtis, who also guest stars, The Sticky should be a heck of a good time as things spiral out of control as the criminal trio find themselves in an increasingly sticky situation.

Available to stream globally on Prime Video from December 6.

On Call

  • Release date: January 9
  • Age rating: 16+
  • Episodes: 8
  • Creator: Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf

On Call, an “adrenalized and visceral police drama,” is a definite change of pace for Dick Wolf, the man behind the Law & Order and Chicago franchises. Aiming to immerse the viewer in the breakneck lives of the police patrolling Long Beach, California, the show uses a mixture of hand-held cameras, bodycam and dash-cam footage to create a documentary-like effect. Starring Troian Bellisario as Traci, a veteran officer and Brandon Larracuente as her rookie partner Alex, On Call should be an intense, engaging look at modern policing from the godfather of the genre.

Available to stream globally on Prime Video from January 9.
