Amazon's Prime Video is set to add even more original content to its growing roster of homemade series and films in November, including James Corden's latest UK comedy Mammals, and Harry Styles' gay period drama My Policeman.
With the streaming service's blockbuster £395m Lord of the Rings spinoff's first season coming to an end in October, Prime Video is bolstering its offering with new star-studded series and films, including Meet Cute - a romcom time travel series starring Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson.
For streamaholics looking for something a bit more down to Earth, or Mars, the highly-reviewed documentary Good Night Oppy will also join the platform in November, following the Opportunity rover and the team of scientists who kept it running on the red planet for 15 years beyond its original life expectancy.

Below are some of the original films and series coming to Amazon's Prime Video in November:
My Policeman - November 4
My Policeman is based on a 2012 novel of the same name by Bethan Roberts that was praised by critics as a "moving story of longing and frustration" that skilfully reflected the homophobic society of 1950s Britain.
Though the film received mixed reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival, fans will soon be able to make up their own mind as this Amazon Studios production will drop on the streaming platform just three weeks after it lands in cinemas, October 21.
Inspired by English novelist E. M. Forster's (A Room With A View) later-in-life romantic entanglement with a local police officer, both the book and the film explore the complexities of the relationship between schoolteacher Marion (Corinn), who has had a lifelong love for her brother's friend Tom (Styles). Despite marrying Tom, his close friendship with local museum curator Patrick (Dawson) draws her suspicion.
Autumn Beat - November 10
In this Italian-language beat-filled film production, two young hip-hop aficionado brothers attempt to break into the rap scene while growing as people and performers.
Tito and Paco are the two brothers at the centre of Autumn Beat, Paco is the obvious frontman and performer, while Tito can write a bar and shape a hook like few others. Where the two come unstuck though is in their other shared passion - for the same woman.
Mammals - November 11
It is fair to say that James Corden can be a Marmite figure for many, but in this new UK comedy series written by the multi-award-winning Jez Butterworth (Spectre), where the former Gavin and Stacey actor plays a headstrong Michelin chef, he might have been cast perfectly.
Early reviews of the show have been positive, with the Telegraph's Anita Singh calling the six-part series "surreal and very, very funny", who even goes as far as to say: "Corden’s performance carries the whole thing."
Mammals follows this exuberant chef as he attempts to figure out who the real father of his pregnant wife's child is, though it promises to be a bit more unconventional, with Butterworth refusing to explain the plot as: "if I took you more than about six minutes into it, I would ruin the series. Everything that happens after the first six minutes is a spoiler."
The People We Hate at the Wedding - November 18
Despite an all-star all Hollywood cast, this family comedy is set in the English countryside, as siblings Paul (Ben Platt) and Alice (Kristen Bell) reluctantly attend the wedding of their wealthy and estranged sister Donna (Allison Janney).
The People We Hate at the Weddin stars Allison Janney (West Wing), Kristen Bell (The Good Place), and Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen) in leading roles, with Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Rings of Power), Karan Soni (Ghostbusters), Dustin Milligan (Schitt's Creek), Tony Goldwyn (Scandal), and Isaach de Bankolé (Black Panther) in supporting roles.
Goodnight Oppy - November 23
There are not many documentaries about robots that people have described as touching and inspiring, but Goodnight Oppy is one of them.
The documentary film tells the tale of the robot that outlasted its life expectancy by more than a decade, and the team of scientists who formed a bond with the indomitable Mars Rover Opportunity, which they give the name Oppy and the pronouns she/her.
Alongside the strangely touching story are a number of incredible shots of the martian surface collected by Oppy and her sister rover Spirit. A must watch for documentary fans.
Meet Cute - November 25
The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) meets 50 First Dates (2004), Sheila, played by Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory), travels back in time to her first date with Gary, played by Pete Davidson (SNL), and tries repeatedly to fix her partner's problems over the course of this comedy series.
As with all stories of time travel, Meet Cute attempts to resolve paradoxes with Cuoco regularly murdering her past self, and the changes she makes to the timeline having ever more unseen circumstances.
