Most popular TV shows on Prime this week

Five years after "Dance Moms" concluded its run in 2019, the ultra-popular reality series is making a comeback on the Lifetime channel—and landing on Prime Video's top 10 TV shows this week. That's largely thanks to a highly anticipated reunion special that premiered on May 1, bringing together former stars JoJo Siwa, Chloe Lukasiak, and more to discuss their time on the show. (Notably, original cast members Nia Sioux and sisters Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler did not attend.) All episodes of the original "Dance Moms" series are now available to stream on Prime Video, as is the new ninth season, which looks back at the show's most "epic showdowns" with new interviews with Chloe's mom, Christi Lukasiak.

But the scandalous world of Abby Lee Miller's dance school is no match for Sega's iconic anthropomorphic blue hedgehog. After premiering on April 26, the "Sonic the Hedgehog" spinoff "Knuckles" has racked up millions of viewing hours and set streaming records for the Paramount+ platform, which is available as a Prime Video add-on. "Knuckles" follows the titular villain from the "Sonic" universe, voiced by Idris Elba, and Prime Video users aren't the only ones tuning in—according to reports from Luminate, "Knuckles" was the fourth most-streamed show online as of May 2, trailing Prime Video's "Fallout" and Netflix's "Baby Reindeer" and "The Asunta Case." 

Audiences seeking something a little more frightening than dance drama or an animated echidna may have found it in "Evil," another Paramount+ original new to the Prime Video rankings. Starring Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi, the series follows an unlikely team who investigate sinister, unsolved paranormal events. As viewers wait for the show's fourth and final season to debut on May 23, anticipation for the new episodes appears to be growing, propelling "Evil" to the list of most popular TV shows on Prime Video this week.
