In the past decade, streaming services have begun to take over traditional cable. The main reason that streaming services have gained such popularity is mainly due to the convenience as the shows and movies are not limited to a certain time frame, but are available 24/7, for as long as the media is available on that service. From Netflix to Hulu to Paramount+, it would seem that the options are endless and the content bountiful. One of the said services, Amazon Prime, is always coming up with new releases and has cranked out a great deal of content.
As one of the most commonly used streaming services, Amazon Prime’s library of media is constantly expanding. Whether it's the addition of long-time favorite shows like Sons of Anarchy or the production of original series like The Boys, Amazon Prime Video has no shortage of shows to choose from and enjoy. Considering the great amount of competition that Amazon has to contend with, they are regularly coming out with new releases every month. These are the best TV series coming to Amazon Prime in June 2022.
