Amazon Prime Video is making it easier for fans to stay up-to-date with their favourite TV shows without fearing spoilers. With the new feature, X-Ray Recaps, viewers on Prime Video can quickly revisit key moments or catch up on episodes without risking major plot twists. Available now on Amazon’s Fire TV devices in the U.S., X-Ray Recaps offers on-demand summaries for Amazon Prime Video shows like The Boys, Upload, Daisy Jones & the Six, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and The Wheel of Time.
X-Ray Recaps are powered by Amazon Bedrock, an AWS-based service that specializes in building and scaling AI models, as well as Amazon SageMaker, which customizes these models for video analysis. This technology analyses video segments, subtitles, and dialogue, generating brief, non-spoiler summaries for each episode, season, or even specific segments of an episode. With the feature being highly customisable, users can get summaries only up to the point they’ve already watched, ensuring no future plot points are given away.
The new recaps feature is accessible in the Amazon Prime Video app. Simply head to the detail page of a show on the app or Fire TV device, where you’ll find a rewind icon that lets you select options like:
This user-friendly approach lets you dive back into the plot without wasting time or scrolling through internet summaries that might spoil the show for you.
X-Ray Recaps builds on Prime Video’s existing X-Ray feature, which already provides details about the cast, soundtrack, and production elements when you pause a show. Now, in addition to cast insights, you can revisit important plot points at any time, adding to the immersive experience of Prime Video’s library. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription just became even more valuable for dedicated fans who love to stay in the loop with all the latest shows.
For users who often forget where they left off in a series or want a quick refresh on previous episodes, X-Ray Recaps is a game-changer. The feature also lets you choose from three recap types, which are fully personalised to your viewing progress. With X-Ray Recaps, Prime Video is taking a step towards making the streaming experience more tailored and spoiler-free, so you can watch your favourite series without hesitation.
