Already binged your way through Alex Rider? Amazon’s got another original thriller on the way in July, with Hanna back for a second season. But perhaps the most attention-grabbing return is the Premier League, with two matches set to stream live and on-demand for free.
Here’s what’s coming soon to Amazon Prime Video UK in July 2020:

Hanna: Season 2 – 3rd July
Based on Joe Wright’s acclaimed 2011 film – and written by David Farr (The Night Manager), who co-wrote the original feature – it stars Esmé Creed-Miles as the 15-year-old, who was raised in total seclusion in the remote woods of Eastern Europe. She spent her entire young life training to fight those who hunt her and her mercenary father, Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman). Her survivalist skills are finally tested when she and Erik are separated upon their discovery by a rogue CIA operative, Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos), and her team of agents. Season 2 comprises eight episodes and follows her journey as she evades the relentless pursuit of a sinister government agency and tries to unearth the truth behind who she is.
Alias: Season 1 to 5 – 6th July
J.J. Abrams’ TV series stars Jennifer Garner as Sydney, a student who is recruited to secret organisation SD-6. When she discovers it is a global criminal group, rather than the CIA as her recruiter claimed, she turns into a double-agent for the good guys – a triple-identity cover-up that causes havoc with her personal life, as everyone around her is drawn into the world of espionage. Cameos across the five seasons include everyone from Christian Slater and Rutger Hauer to Faye Dunaway and David Cronenberg.
Premier League – Various
With the Premier League back in action, Amazon Prime Video is streaming four matches from the current and upcoming batch of fixtures for free. In July, that means Everton v Southampton on 9th July and Watford v Newcastle on 11th July.

Created and produced by Abundantia Entertainment, the all-new psychological crime thriller sees Bollywood superstar Abhishek Bachchan (Happy New Year) make his digital on-screen debut, playing a doting father in search of his missing daughter.

Absentia: Season 3 – 17th July
After the dramatic events of season two, Emily Byrne (Stana Katic) is serving out the final days of her FBI suspension while working hard to be the best possible mother to Flynn. Everything is upended when an international criminal case hits too close to home, threatening the family she is so desperately trying to hold together.
Jim Gaffigan: The Pale Tourist – 24th July
The two-part stand-up special features the Grammy-nominated, Emmy Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author, actor and comedian Jim Gaffigan (The Senator) as he embarks on a seemingly impossible quest: to land in a country with no material, experience the culture and food, and then write and perform all-new material, all in one visit.

It’s 1990. Johanna Morrigan is sixteen, smart, opinionated and overweight.

Gaining notoriety as an enfant terrible, she has finally figured out how to build a girl – but is this the girl she wanted to build? Beanie Feldstein stars in this coming-of-age comedy based on Caitlin Moran’s novel.
