Alex Rider (Season 3)
Stream on Apr. 5
A Freevee Original, Alex Rider is based on a series of young adult novels by English author Anthony Horowitz. The series follows Alex (Otto Farrant), an ordinary teenager recruited by The Department, an offshoot of MI6, to become an extraordinary spy. Unknowingly trained since childhood, Alex is equipped with skills he didn’t realize he possessed.
He begins his life of espionage by investigating the death of his uncle, who died in the line of duty as a British spy and not in a car accident like Alex was previously told. Able to infiltrate places most spies cannot, Alex goes undercover at Point Blanc, a boarding school, where he quickly uncovers dark secrets involving the school’s students that are possibly linked to his uncle’s death. Now entering its third season, Alex Rider isn’t simply a run-of-the-mill show for teenagers. Alex Rider Season 3 is streaming on Freevee through Prime Video on Apr. 5.

Why Fallout’s Director Jonathan Nolan Is Right to ‘Ignore the Fans’
Fallout’s creator Jonathan Nolan believes fans should trust his knowledge of the franchise, ahead of his upcoming Prime Video series.
Although based on the video game, the television series seeks to tell an original story within the world of Fallout. As such, some prospective viewers have already criticized the show’s creative choices. Nonetheless, it’s arguably the most anticipated show coming to Prime Video next month. Fallout is streaming on Prime Video on Apr. 11.
