Tracking the Amazon Prime Video top 10 list is a lot different than Netflix’s given that there’s fewer content and big shows tend to stick around forever. But something a bit interesting has happened over there, as the return of Outer Range for season 2 is sliding down the list and behind two other offerings.

Outer Range is now in third place behind Blue Angels, the Glen Powell-adjacent documentary about the famed flying squad, and Fallout, back in the #1 spot despite debuting on April 10, a full month and a half ago now.

Outer Range did in fact debut at #1, and season 2 has reviewed better than the first with a 92% critic score and 85% audience score, compared to 79% critic and 62% audience for season 1. That’s quite a significant improvement.

My initial thought here was that it might be going down the list if it just had a two-episode premiere and people were done with it. But it did in fact drop all seven new episodes at once in a binge release, which is exactly what Fallout did. Perhaps this is Amazon’s new thing as they target Netflix more directly (The Boys season 4 is not doing this, however).

Fallout, meanwhile, continues to perform as one of Amazon Prime Video’s most-watched series ever, behind only Rings of Power. Amazon reported that it had 65 million viewers in its first 16 days, and that has since increased to 80 million, setting non-Netflix records in Nielsen ratings. It’s a deeply impressive performance, and given that a show like Reacher sticks around on Amazon’s top 10 list for months, Fallout is going to be there a very long time. Though I think we know for a fact that The Boys season 4 is going to come along and grab that spot when it arrives on June 13, just over two weeks from now.

The rest of the combined list has movies like Anne Hathaway’s The Idea of You and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Road House. Also performing pretty well is the new low-profile prep school show Maxton Hall at #5 on the list.

Fallout has obviously been greenlit for season 2, and I would expect probably 4-5 seasons from the show at baseline with essentially infinite material at its disposal and Amazon dying for big hits to take on its rivals. They have definitely found one. Outer Range? We’ll see if it does well enough to get a season 3 here, but I’m just not sure yet.
