Everybody’s talking about Amazon Prime Video this September, as it debuts not only a filmed version of the hit stage musical but also a new musical take on Cinderella, starring Camila Cabello. That plus the final outing for legal drama Goliath? September may well be a month to sing about.

Here’s what’s coming soon to Amazon Prime Video UK in September 2021:

Cabello is joined by Minnie Driver, Pierce Brosnan and Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Charming.
