2026 hasn’t exactly been an ideal year so far for Kyle Cooke, who has built his entire brand around being fun — especially in the summer, which is definitely supposed to be fun. Still, the Summer House superstar maintains his status as one of the biggest reality TV legends in the world, but his ambition has grown far beyond being the face of a Bravo show about the chaos that goes on in a house in the Hamptons. Cooke started his own sparkling hard tea and canned cocktail company, Loverboy, which has been a vital part of the last few seasons of Summer House. Kyle’s struggles and triumphs with Loverboy have been in the public eye since the company launched in 2018, but through the ups and downs, the company has become one of the biggest beverage brands in the world.

Prime Video has had more than its fair share of big TV shows return this year already, but nothing has had as much anticipation behind it as the fifth and final season of The Boys. The show first arrived back in the summer of 2019, and it was such an unknown at the time, that Prime Video debuted all episodes of the series at once — it didn’t waste any time becoming one of the hottest binges of the year. Over the course of five seasons in seven years — an impressive turnaround schedule for any show with this level of budget — The Boys became one of Prime Video’s flagship properties. There were high expectations heading into The Boys Season 5, but it didn’t take fans long to begin picking apart the show’s final outing, which will undoubtedly taint how it’s remembered in the long run.

Video game adaptations have been hit or miss over the years, but more creators have shown dedication to the source material in recent years, which has helped to produce some more faithful remakes. One of the most universally lauded video game adaptations to come in recent years is the live-action Fallout show on Prime Video. The show has already released two full seasons, and it’s been renewed for a third, which is expected to film later this year. Most fans would agree that The Last of Us has also done a fine job adapting the series of critically acclaimed Naughty Dog games from the mind of Neil Druckmann. There is always a new video game adaptation to look forward to, and one of the biggest projects ever brought into live-action is officially coming next year.

Prime Video is in line for one of the biggest years in the streamer’s history in 2026 after releasing new seasons of some of its biggest properties. The first show that comes to mind is The Boys, which just wrapped up with a divisive finale that still has fans watching and debating close to a month later. Prime Video also aired a new season of its critically lauded adult animated show, Invincible, and confirmed on the day of the Season 4 finale that more episodes are coming next year. However, the biggest Prime Video show returning before the end of this year is Reacher, the hit action series starring the gargantuan Alan Ritchson. There is such little doubt that Reacher Season 4 is going to be a massive hit that the show has already been picked up for Season 5 before Season 4 even has a release date.
