Prime Video Acquires The Rainmaker as USA Network Run Draws Viewers
The Rainmaker, airing new Season 2 episodes on USA Network, is climbing Prime Video watchlists in America, according to Collider.
Prime Video has acquired the rights to air The Rainmaker, a series currently in the middle of airing new Season 2 episodes on USA Network, according to Collider. The show is also climbing Prime Video watchlists in America.
The Rainmaker ranks among the most-watched shows of the year on USA, and its streaming performance places it alongside other hits such as Reacher.
The move adds another legal drama to Prime Video, which already streams Bosch, based on novels by Michael Connelly and starring Titus Welliver.
A crowded legal-thriller field
Connelly's novels also fuel Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, which has aired since 2022 and released new seasons yearly. Earlier this year, after the debut of Season 4, Netflix renewed the show for Season 5 and later said it would be the final season. Netflix has already greenlit a full spin-off based on Cobie Smulders' character in The Lincoln Lawyer, with no release date announced.
Elsewhere, HBO has a hit legal thriller with the Dominic Cooper-led series War, and MGM+ has enlisted Jom Hamm to star in American Hostage, described as a mash-up of The Lincoln Lawyer and Mad Men.
