In September, Amazon Prime Video released several new features and improvements. The streaming service is launching this month with one of its most expensive productions, a Lord of the Rings series, and even more interesting content is on the way.
The universe of The Hobbit as well as The Lord of the Rings, written by J.R.R. Tolkien, will be brought to your television screen on September 2 with the premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video. After five years of promotion and a budget of $1 billion, the event is finally here. HBO Max better keep an eye out since The Rings of Power might easily outshine The House of the Dragon.
Flight/Risk, a documentary examining the two crashes of Boeing 737 Max aircraft in 2018 and 2019, will soon be available on Prime Video. In the documentary’s broadcast on September 9, viewers will hear from grieving loved ones as well as lawyers, whistleblowers, and journalist Dominic Gates.
Adapted from Stephen King’s novel of the same name and shot in 2022, Keith Thomas’s Firestarter is a science fiction thriller film he directed from a script written by Scott Teems. In a flashback, a young Charlene, “Charlie” McGee, is sitting in her crib when she suddenly sets fire to the room using her pyrokinesis ability, causing her father, Andy, to freak out.
Andy and his girlfriend Victoria “Vicky” Tomlinson are young adults in a flashback from a clinical study when they meet a doctor who tells them that they will be injected with the experimental chemical medication Lot-6, which would give them hidden superpowers: telepathy for Andy and telekinesis for Vicky.

The story begins in a time of peace. It continues to the end of the Second Age of Middle-earth, which includes the creation of the Rings of Power, the ascension of the Dark Lord Sauron, the destruction of the island kingdom of Numenor, and the final alliance between the Elves and the Men.
