Amazon Originals coming to Prime Video in South Africa in January 2022

Prime Video is bringing two family-friendly movies and a series from the creator of Friday Night Lights to subscribers' screens this month.

Prime Video offers a host of library content, including familiar favourites that deserve a rewatch, but what we’re most interested in are the brand-new Original series and movies landing on the platform that you won’t find anywhere else. Here are the titles to look forward to this month!

The Tender Bar (Amazon Original Movie) | 7 January

Directed by George Clooney and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning author JR Moehringer’s memoir, The Tender Bar tells the story of JR (Tye Sheridan), a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck), is the sharpest and most colourful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures.

As the boy’s determined mother (Lily Rabe) struggles to leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father (Christopher Lloyd), JR begins to pursue his romantic and professional dreams, with one foot in Uncle Charlie’s bar.

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (Amazon Original Movie) | 14 January

The fourth instalment of the franchise, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania dives into the relationship between Dracula and his goofy, human son-in-law Johnny (Andy Samberg). As Dracula plans to retire and gift his beloved Hotel Transylvania to his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez), he changes his mind at the last minute, worried that Johnny will ruin what he has built. Disappointed that Dracula still doesn’t embrace him as a member of his family, Johnny seeks help from Van Helsing (from third film) and successfully turns himself into a monster.

But he also changes Dracula and his band of monster side-kicks – Blobby, Frankenstein, Mummy, Wayne, and the Invisible Man – into humans. Dracula and Johnny set out together to find a secret crystal that will help turn them back. Written and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, this film brings all of the beloved Hotel Transylvania characters together for a funny, heartfelt journey with a positive message for the whole family.
