Prime Video has quietly become one of the best places to find a Hollywood romance. In the past few months alone it has added a summer-in-Mallorca romantic drama, a fake-dating adaptation of a bestselling novel and a holiday rom-com, and its back catalogue is full of crowd-pleasers. If you just watched The Last Sunrise and want more movies like it, or you simply want to know what is new, this guide covers the latest Hollywood and English-language rom-coms and romance films on Prime Video, with release dates, cast, what critics said, our rating and who each one is for.
Availability varies by country, so check your own Prime Video app. Titles marked “rent or buy” are not included in a standard subscription.

How We Picked These
- Hollywood and English-language only. No Bollywood, K-drama or other regional titles in this list.
- Latest first. We start with the newest releases, then move to the best recent favourites still on Prime Video.
- Real critic scores where they exist. We used Rotten Tomatoes and published reviews and did not rely on hype.
- Honest ratings. A new release is not automatically a good one, so some of the newest films rank lower than older favourites.
The Latest Releases
1. The Love Hypothesis (2026)
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Release | September 23, 2026 on Prime Video |
| Director | Claire Scanlon |
| Cast | Lili Reinhart (Olive Smith), Tom Bateman (Adam Carlsen), Rachel Marsh (Ahn), Nicholas Duvernay (Jeremy) and Jaboukie Young-White (Malcolm) |
| Runtime | 1 hour 50 minutes |
| Rating | R |
| Based on | Ali Hazelwood’s 2021 novel |
| Critic score | 73% on Rotten Tomatoes (67 reviews), with 72% from audiences |
What it’s about: Olive, a PhD student, enters a fake relationship with Dr. Adam Carlsen, a feared professor, to convince her friend that she is dating. As they test their own theories about love, the pretend romance starts to feel real.
What critics said: The Rotten Tomatoes consensus calls it a familiar rom-com formula that is saved by its humour and the chemistry between the leads, making it a satisfying comfort watch. One reviewer called it a crowd-pleasing winner and praised Lili Reinhart’s charm and the friendship between Olive and Ahn. Tom’s Guide called it a “knowingly silly adaptation” that is fun if you accept the premise.
Worth knowing: Some critics said the story needs a lot of suspended disbelief, and one felt Tom Bateman’s Adam comes across as more villainous than romantic.
Our take: Predictable but easy to enjoy, especially if you liked the book. Our rating: 4 / 5.
2. The Last Sunrise (2026)
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Release | August 26, 2026 on Prime Video |
| Director | Carlson Young |
| Cast | Maia Reficco (Oriah “Ry” Pera), Fernando Lindez (Julián) and Eva Longoria (Izzy, Ry’s mother) |
| Runtime | 1 hour 46 minutes |
| Based on | Anna Todd’s 2025 novel |
| Setting | Mallorca, Spain |
| Critic score | 41% on Rotten Tomatoes (9 reviews) |
What it’s about: Ry, a young woman with chronic health issues, travels to Mallorca, falls for a local man named Julián and has to face her health and what she wants from life before she returns home.
What critics said: Tom’s Guide gave it 2.5 out of 5 and called it a “missed opportunity” with a promising premise. Reviewers praised the golden Mallorca setting, the cinematography, the Spanish music and the tense mother-daughter relationship between Ry and Izzy. They criticised the rushed romance, the lack of chemistry and a story that leans on familiar tropes.
Worth knowing: The film’s strongest scenes are the family ones, not the love story. It is a better pick for the look and mood than for the romance.
Our take: A beautiful summer setting with a thin love story. Our rating: 2.5 / 5.
3. Finding Emily (2026, Rent or Buy)
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Release | Spring 2026 in the UK, with a limited US theatrical run in August 2026 |
| Cast | Spike Fern (Owen), Sadie Soverall (Emily) and Angourie Rice (an American psychology student, also named Emily) |
| Setting | Manchester |
| Critic score | 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, with 90% from audiences |
| Platform | Prime Video, to rent or buy |
What it’s about: A romance set in Manchester’s music scene, with dry British humour and quick banter between the leads.
What critics said: Tom’s Guide named it the best romantic comedy of 2026 and called it the highest-rated rom-com of the year, citing the chemistry between the leads and the balance of romance and comedy. Its score dipped after the US release, which the writer put down to American viewers not connecting with the British humour.
Worth knowing: It is a rent-or-buy title, and prices and availability may differ by country.
Our take: The strongest film here on paper, and a good pick if you like British romantic comedies. Our rating: 4 / 5.
4. Relationship Goals (2026)
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Release | February 4, 2026 (Prime Video original) |
| Director | Linda Mendoza |
| Cast | Kelly Rowland (Leah Caldwell), Method Man (Jarrett Roy), Robin Thede, Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert and Matt Walsh |
| Runtime | 93 minutes |
| Critic score | 19% on Rotten Tomatoes (16 reviews) |
What it’s about: Leah, a TV producer, is on track to become the first woman to run a New York morning show when her ex, Jarrett, joins the network as her rival. He says he has changed after following a self-help book, and old conflicts resurface.
What critics said: The Guardian gave it 3 out of 5 and praised its fast pace, though it found the film’s view of marriage narrow. TheWrap was much harsher.
Our take: A short and breezy watch, but critics were not convinced. Our rating: 2 / 5.
5. Clashing Through the Snow (Coming November 23)
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Release | November 23, 2026 (Prime Video original) |
| Cast | Chris Briney and Michelle Randolph |
| Genre | Holiday romantic comedy |
What it’s about: Two rival publishing editors are stranded at an airport and have to share a rental car to New York while competing for a career-saving deal.
Why to watch: An enemies-to-lovers road trip is a classic rom-com setup, and it arrives just in time for the holiday season. We will rate it after it streams.
