When the management at Prime Video changed some months ago, one of the first orders of business was to halt production on the Citadelspin-offs. Two had already been produced and released as part of an ambitious plan to start a shared universe, a plan that will likely go down in history as one of the biggest swings and misses of the streaming era. The latest Nielsen report for streaming and linear television is in, and things aren't looking good for the "mothership" Citadel series. The latest report tracks viewership in the week of May 4 to May 10, during which The Boys claimed the number two spot behind La Brea with more than 1 billion minutes watched. The Boys had been struggling to compete against HBO Max's The Pittfor the last few weeks, but it seems to have picked up the pace ahead of its finale. Remember, the Nielsen report, especially for streaming, is delayed by roughly a month.

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.
