10 Best Romance Shows Streaming On Prime Video, Ranked

Everyone needs a good, old-fashioned love story to watch from time to time. Every so often, a new show hits streaming services that feels breezy, wholesome, and romantic without sacrificing any of the juicy drama viewers crave. Fortunately, Amazon's Prime Video is a haven for fans of heartfelt dramas and comedies, having released several hit romance series over the past few years. 

And while other streaming services have their own romantic shows that will leave you in tears, such as "Heated Rivalry" and "Bridgerton," Prime Video has built up an impressive collection of its own. These romance shows aren't just filler for an endless library, either, with some ranking among the best series the streamer has ever produced.

From dramas that will break your heart to shows that embody the spirit of iconic '90s rom-coms, these 10 romance shows on Prime Video won't waste your time with slow burns and red flags. They're all about characters who, whether they like it or not, fall victim to the growing pains of being in love and all its messy beauty. 

"Every Year After" originated in the rich, abundant world of romance novels, many of which serve as inspiration for the series that make up the vast majority of this list. If it just so happens you've never heard of it before, that's okay, since the show was only recently released on Prime Video in the summer of 2026. The novel it's based on by Carley Fortune isn't very old either, having been published in 2022 with a sequel in 2025.

The show follows the love story between Percy (Sadie Soverall) and Sam (Matt Cornett), each other's first loves as teenagers, who reunite in their summer hometown after Sam's mother (Elisha Cuthbert) dies. As they rekindle their romance in the present day, the series flashes back across two decades to tell the story of their original courtship and how it all fell apart. On the one hand, it's a pleasant, comforting watch following a summer love, but on the other, the secrets revealed between Percy and Sam offer some juicy drama to keep you hooked throughout its eight episodes.

With "Every Year After" renewed for Season 2 at Prime Video already, the show seems poised to adapt the events of its sequel novel next, and perhaps even more if Fortune doesn't pull a George R. R. Martin on her readers. Hopefully, there's a new season of this sweet and wistful series every year, and every year after, for a long, long time. 

"Modern Love" might be one of the most underrated shows on Prime Video, especially given its star-studded cast across only two seasons. The anthology series follows a different love story each episode, with the first season from 2019 including A-listers like Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, Cristin Milioti, and Andrew Scott. The second season, released in 2021, features more stars like Lucy Boynton, Tom Burke, Tobias Menzies, Dominique Fishback, and Kit Harington. 

The episodes cover a wide array of topics related to, well, modern love. Dev Patel, in the first season, plays the founder of a dating app who has yet to get over his first love, who cheated on him. Fey and John Slattery play a married couple realizing through counseling that they've been staying together for their kids and not for each other. Boynton and Harington, in Season 2, play strangers on a train who promise to meet up after the COVID-19 quarantine ends, unaware of how long it will last. 

Though some of its episodes tread too far into clichéd territory, "Modern Love" does a great job of telling these one-off stories, mostly thanks to the incredibly talented cast members sinking their teeth into their characters. The chemistry on display between all involved is electric, providing believability to stories even when the episodes themselves are inconsistent in quality. Of course, it must be easy for these actors to be their best selves in roles that feel tailor-made for them. 

If you've yet to see "Maxton Hall — The World Between Us," then you're probably just not up to date with the hottest romance shows on Prime Video at the moment. The German series became one of Prime Video's most popular series globally after premiering in 2024, mainly following two rival students at the titular secondary school: the type-A Ruby (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and rich kid James (Damian Hardung). 

However, once Ruby and James are forced to pair up to throw a gala to raise money for the school, their stereotypical rivalry gives way to a burgeoning romance that's only further complicated by their vastly different economic backgrounds. Though it's soap opera-esque at times, "Maxton Hall" does a stellar job of gradually building its love story across the two seasons that have aired. It's engaging to see Ruby and James together, but also to see them torn apart as star-crossed lovers. 

Reviews have said as much about the ability of "Maxton Hall" to weave this complex, socially relevant narrative, though some critics have felt its numerous subplots and supporting characters bog down an otherwise genre-breaking show. Nevertheless, "Maxton Hall" got an early Season 3 renewal at Prime Video, with the third season set to be its last. Only time will tell now if Ruby and James' love for one another will persevere by the end, but either way, we'll be seated to watch. 

"The Summer I Turned Pretty" has been a flagship show for Amazon Prime Video since it began airing in 2022. Based on a series of books by Jenny Han (who also serves as co-showrunner as well as writer and/or director of some episodes), "The Summer I Turned Pretty" centers on Belly Conklin (Lola Tung), a teenage girl whose family vacations in the fictional summer town of Cousins Beach. Over the course of three seasons, Belly becomes embroiled in a love triangle between two brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).

From the series premiere to its dramatic series finale, "The Summer I Turned Pretty" turns all the classic love triangle tropes on their head. Belly, as brilliantly written as she is, is far from a perfect female protagonist who's forced to choose between two eligible suitors. Rather, she's a messy, flawed person whose involvement with two incredibly flawed boys only gets more complicated as they all fall deeper in love. 

For a generation that grew up with romantic films like "The Notebook" or "Bridget Jones's Diary," the innate Gen Z-ness of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" may be a tough sell. However, if you give it a shot, it won't just be the Taylor Swift-centric soundtrack that keeps pulling at your heartstrings, but also the genuinely earnest coming-of-age story at its core. Until we see how the upcoming "The Summer I Turned Pretty" movie on Amazon Prime Video changes things, it'll remain a defining romance show of the 2020s. 

Although we now know for certain that Kathryn Hahn is one of the best TV character actors of all time, before hits like "WandaVision," her leading roles didn't last beyond a single season. A good example of this is "I Love Dick," in which Hahn stars as real-life filmmaker Chris Kraus, who develops an obsessive desire for her husband's (Griffin Dunne) research fellowship leader, Dick (Kevin Bacon). She voices her lust for this acquaintance through a series of unsent letters that send Chris spiraling into a sort of midlife crisis. 

Based on Kraus's autofiction work of the same name, "I Love Dick" is a cathartic watch, to say the least. It's a rare example of a romance show that focuses not only on the sexual proclivities of an older woman but also on the disastrous consequences of unrequited infatuation. Hahn's electric performance drives the entire series, often surpassing the source material in creating a fully fleshed-out character whose obsession with a man reflects not her submission to patriarchy but her desperate need for independence.

Sadly, "I Love Dick" was canceled by Amazon Prime Video after one season, putting a premature end to a rather refreshing show in the platform's library. Though Hahn went on to do plenty more limited series about sexual awakenings on other streamers, Prime Video missed a big opportunity to dig deeper into this incredibly beautiful portrait of a lady on fire. 

"Forever" might seem like an idyllic series for comedy fans, given that it features two former "Saturday Night Live" co-stars sharing the screen again. Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph play Oscar and June, a married couple whose relationship has hit a snag and who, in an effort to shake things up, reluctantly take a vacation to a ski lodge, where their marriage is tested in many ways. 

Without spoiling the major twists that lie ahead in the first few episodes, "Forever" is an incredibly interesting examination of what paradise looks like for different people. Armisen and Rudolph, especially, are at their best as these two characters, who are likable apart but, when together, bring out the worst in one another, whether they know it or not. The supporting cast does a wonderful job playing foil to Oscar and June as well, with Catherine Keener standing out as Kase, their neighbor who shares in June's dissatisfaction with her life. 

With a lot more gravitas to play than they ever had on a sketch comedy show like "Saturday Night Live," "Forever" gives these two iconic comedians room to show what they're capable of as dramatic actors. It's a shame that Amazon Prime Video canceled it after only one season, given that it ends with an interesting promise of future stories left to tell about this odd couple. 

There are plenty of TV shows like "Off Campus" that explore the complexities of modern-day relationships, but only a few have as easily lovable a cast as the Amazon Prime Video series does. The first season, which premiered on Prime Video earlier in 2026, mainly centers on Hannah (Ella Bright) and Garrett (Belmont Cameli), two college students who agree to fake a romantic relationship to make Hannah's crush jealous in exchange for her helping Garrett study. 

As you might imagine from this Shakespearean sequence of events, Hannah and Garrett find they're not the unlikely couple they initially assume they are. Although this romance would make for an entertaining show on its own, "Off Campus" boasts an equally transfixing subplot following Hannah's best friend, Allie (Mika Abdalla), and her romance with Garrett's best friend and hockey teammate, Dean (Stephen Kalyn). 

Though it might be a lot tamer in terms of steaminess than other hockey romance shows like "Heated Rivalry," "Off Campus" still has enough yearning to make you drool at the thought of more seasons on the horizon. Given that there are five books total in Elle Kennedy's series that "Off Campus" is based on, we can expect those future seasons to dive deeper into the romantic lives of Briar University's hockey team, though it'll be tough for fans of the first season to let go of seeing Hannah and Garrett take up most of the screen time. 

"Sterling Point" was only recently released on Prime Video in August 2026, but it has already swept fans of romance television off their feet. The drama is a star turn for lead actress Ella Rubin, who plays Annie Jacobson, a teenage girl who, with her twin Connor (Keen Ruffalo), inherits her estranged grandfather's Canadian island and beach cottage. There, Annie finds herself sharing the inheritance with Ramona (Amélie Hoeferle), a half-sister she never knew existed.

Set over a summer in Muskoka, Canada, "Sterling Point" finds its romantic drive as Annie becomes caught in a teenage love triangle with Canadian boat engineer Ellis (Jacob Whiteduck-Lavoie) and New Yorker Rory (Daniel Quinn-Toye). While Ramona comes into her own as she falls for her best friend, Oona (Bo Bragason), the real love story at the center of "Sterling Point" is the endearing sisterhood that slowly grows between Annie and Ramona. Whereas most romance shows frame their relationships as their protagonists' entire worlds, "Sterling Point" never lets its romance distract from the heartfelt, independent character development that occurs.

Having been recently been renewed for Season 2 at Amazon Prime Video, "Sterling Point" seems primed to become the type of show many young television watchers spend their formative years keeping up with. Additionally, it covers darker topics that are often absent from romance TV, with its characters grappling with grief and harrowing secrets that keep its coming-of-age feeling realistic, albeit still optimistic.

It shouldn't be too surprising that one of the best romance shows on Prime Video is a massive change of pace from the previous entries on this list. We all remember the sexy, action-packed "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" from 2004 starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. However, Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane's 2024 reimagining cleverly introduces a world where aimless people can sign up to become spies posing as married couples, knowing each other only as John and Jane Smith. 

Glover stars as John, while Maya Erskine is his Jane, with their faux work marriage quickly resulting in a committed relationship that hits all the classic speed bumps. The tension of the duo carrying out assassinations and completing high-stakes missions for their enigmatic employer only adds to the show's originality. Despite drawing heavily from spy thrillers and action dramas, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" offers an in-depth look at how people self-sabotage their relationships, driven mainly by the comedic and romantic chemistry between Glover and Erskine.

All in all, Amazon's charming spy reboot is a rare example of a film-to-TV adaptation actually exceeding its source material. With a second season on the way starring Mark Eydelshteyn and Talia Ryder as a new John and Jane, respectively, future seasons may continue to etch this series into TV history as a modern must-watch anthology. 

Romance and fantasy have always been intrinsically linked as genres, but surprisingly, Prime Video hasn't delved deeply into their Venn diagram. The one exception to this rule happens to also be a fantasy show that was cancelled way too soon: "My Lady Jane." Based on the 2016 novel by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, "My Lady Jane" takes place in a version of Tudor-era England in which class struggle segregates regular humans, known as Verities, from animal shape-shifters known as Ethians. 

Emily Bader stars as the titular Nine Days Queen, who is forced into a marriage with Lord Guildford Dudley (Edward Bluemel) following the death of her father, despite her role as heir to the throne of England. When her cousin, King Edward VI (Jordan Peters), is believed to have been murdered, Jane not only must uncover the plot but also navigate her arranged marriage blossoming into a love story reminiscent of the great medieval fairy tales. 

Despite near-unanimous praise from critics for its seamless genre-bending between fantasy, romance, farce, and historical drama, "My Lady Jane" was sadly canceled after one season. It's a sad fate for a show that was not only fresh in a TV landscape filled with period dramas like "Bridgerton" and "The Gilded Age," but one also led by such a transfixing lead actress as Bader. It's exactly what the best romance shows should be: fun, sexy, heartwarming, and melodramatic, all at once. Simply put, "My Lady Jane" is one of the best projects Prime Video has ever put out.
