Prime Video’s June calendar truly has something for just about everyone.
Kicking off on Sunday, June 15, bombastic biblical biography The Chosen returns for a fifth season, focusing on a chain of events that begins with Jesus’ confrontation with the merchants at the temple, and ending with the events and fallout of the last supper.
Then on June 18, former CW scribes Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie turn their backs on all things supernatural in favor of We Were Liars, a summer mystery/thriller set in the Hamptons.
Most eyes however will be firmly on Countdown, the Jensen Ackles led thriller that sees the hunt for a killer uncovering a far more sinister plot, and a race against time to save a city of millions.
See below for full details, air dates and trailers (where available) for June’s Prime Video streaming titles.

WE WERE LIARS (June 18)
Sporing the intriguing logline “When you’re left for dead, you want answers” We Were Liars is perfect CW-style bubblegum summer fare. From the creatives behind a slew of teen CW dramas this mystery thriller, based on the best-selling novel by E. Lockhart of the same name, follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed the Liars, during their summer escapades on her grandfather’s New England private island.
The Sinclairs are American royalty — known for their good looks, old money, and enviable bond — but after a mysterious accident changes Cadence’s life forever, everyone, including her beloved Liars, seems to have something to hide.

The series makes its global debut on June 18, with all 8 episodes available for streaming.
COUNTDOWN (June 25)
Prime video’s most buzz-worthy show of the summer has to be Countdown. From One Chicago and FBI franchise creator Derek Hass, this meaty 16-episode drama series kicks off its storyline with an officer with the Department of Homeland Security murdered in broad daylight. LAPD detective Mark Meachum (Jensen Ackles, The Boys, Supernatural), is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate.
But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.
