Prime Video doubles down on young adult content
September 9, 2026



Prime Video says it has “established itself as the home of young adult (YA) programming”.

In recent years The Summer I Turned Pretty, Off Campus, the Culpables franchise and Maxton Hall – The World Between Us have broken out as global hits. Now, Prime Video is doubling down with its biggest-ever YA slate, led by a new wave of non-English language International Originals from Spain, France, Germany, Italy and India.


To mark the moment, Prime Video hosted the Obsessed Retreat: Class of ’26, a two-day immersive event in the Bavarian Alps bringing together on-screen talent, authors and exclusive first looks from Prime Video’s YA lineup.

“We know that the audiences for our YA movies and series are shaping culture in real time — and they don’t just watch, they feel deeply, they obsess,” said Nicole Clemens, VP and Head of International Originals, Amazon MGM Studios. “What excites me most about this next wave is that it’s being led by non-English language International Originals. These are stories rooted in local culture with universal appeal, and we believe they’ll break out globally in the same way. The slate represents our biggest commitment yet to young adult audiences — and we’re just getting started.”

Speaking on stage during the Obsession Retreat author Mercedes Ron said about Tell Me in Secret: “The most important thing is the relationship that they [cast] have. They get along so well, and I think that translates to the movie. When they bring something personal to the characters, that’s when the magic happens.” She continued about Our Fault: London: “It’s my favourite book from the three, so it’s very special for me. Different, but in a good way. And the chemistry between [Asha and Matt] is amazing.”

Author C.S. Quill for Campus Drivers added: “Carmen brought so much to the role. She had this incredible way of showing emotions. Sometimes she doesn’t need to say anything — you know exactly what Lois is feeling. She took my character and she made her even more special. So now when I picture Lois, I see Carmen.
