Prime Video has unveiled an early preview of its highly anticipated 2026 international originals, spotlighting titles from its Anime, Korean and Indian slates at the inaugural Prime Video Presents International Originals event.

The showcase underscored the platform’s growing investment in stories rooted in Asia yet resonating with audiences worldwide.

With content from Japan, Korea and India increasingly shaping global viewing trends, the streamer signalled a clear intention to deepen its long-term commitment to the region.

An Appetizing Teaser

Speaking at the event, Gaurav Gandhi, Vice President, APAC & ANZ, Prime Video, described the preview as “just a taste” of what subscribers can expect in 2026. He noted that content from these markets is emerging as a powerful cultural force in global entertainment, driven by emotionally authentic narratives that travel far beyond their country of origin.
Gandhi highlighted the platform’s strong viewer momentum across Asian content categories, as well as its deep creative partnerships with talent across the region.

The 2026 line-up, he explained, reflects a strategic focus on building sustainable ecosystems for creators while delivering premium entertainment to global audiences.

The event also reinforced the shared vision of Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video in developing international stories with worldwide appeal. Both companies reiterated their commitment to investing in locally grounded narratives that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with major global productions.

Asian content, particularly Korean drama and Japanese Anime, has experienced significant international growth in recent years, while Indian originals continue to attract strong domestic and diaspora audiences.

By bringing these strands together under one international originals banner, Prime Video is positioning itself as a leading destination for cross-border storytelling. While specific titles remain under wraps, further announcements are expected throughout the year.

As streaming competition intensifies, Prime Video’s 2026 slate signals a confident bet on Asia’s creative power — and on audiences’ appetite for stories that combine cultural specificity with universal emotional themes.

With its expanding global footprint and sustained regional investment, Prime Video appears determined to ensure that Asian storytelling remains firmly centre stage in the next chapter of international streaming.
