News on Amazon Prime Video in January

New series and seasons

In addition to the complete 9 seasons of the successful series “Scrubs”, Amazon Prime Video is bringing out some new products in the series in January. In “James May: Oh Cook” someone cooks with the Grand Tour legend who actually can’t really do it, and in the new Star Trek series “Star Trek: Lower Decks” the focus is on the crew members otherwise hardly noticed.

• Star Trek: Lower Decks (Season 1) – Amazon Original

The new Star Trek animation series from Amazon takes place in the year 2380, mainly on board the USS Cerritos, a really unimportant ship of Starfleet. At the center of the plot are four also unimportant members of the crew: Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), Tendi (Noel Wells) and Boimler (Jack Quaid). In contrast to previous films and series of the universe, “Star Trek: Lower Decks” is not about the leadership of a spaceship, but about the rather inconspicuous crew members, who are just as indispensable and also have to struggle with a variety of problems.

To protect his life, he begins to train the predator bit by bit by sharing his supplies with him. A remarkable journey begins, at the end of which everyone has to wonder which version and which symbolism they want to carry on.

Rent or buy films and series from Amazon Prime Video

In addition to the free offer – for paying Prime customers – there are of course a large number of films and series that anyone can place in their video library for a small rental fee or a slightly higher purchase price. In November there will also be a couple of new additions to this category that are well worth seeing, including the 17th season of the popular hospital series “Grey’s Anatomy”, the 8th season of “Blacklist” and the brand new feature film “Berlin Alexanderplatz”.
