Prime Video’s December slate hits top speed: Bullet Train, Brad Pitt’s smash-hit assassin thrill ride from director David Leitch, barrels onto the platform next month alongside a jam-packed lineup of new originals and fresh-from-theaters releases.

Prime Video is loading up for December, and the big one for action fans is finally pulling into the station. Brad Pitt’s 2022 hit Bullet Train is headed to the service, just in time for a holiday rewatch (or your first chaotic ride).

Bullet Train finally hits Prime Video

Bullet Train starts streaming on December 3, 2025. That’s three years after it debuted in theaters, where it pitched Pitt as Ladybug, a supposedly unlucky assassin trying to do one simple job on a high-speed train in Japan. Naturally, nothing stays simple. The carriages are crawling with other killers, all on missions that secretly intersect, and the Tokyo-to-Morioka run turns into a stylish, bloody, and weirdly funny brawl.

It’s adapted from Kōtarō Isaka’s bestselling Japanese novel and stacks the cast with ringers: Joey King as the unnervingly composed Prince, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Tangerine, Brian Tyree Henry as Lemon, plus Sandra Bullock, Zazie Beetz, Andrew Koji, Michael Shannon, Bad Bunny, Logan Lerman, Hiroyuki Sanada, and a few surprises. If you like your action glossy and a little absurd, you know what lane this is in.

David Leitch doing what he does

Director David Leitch brings the résumé you want for this kind of thing. Before he was calling shots, he was taking them as a stunt performer on projects like Fight Club, 300, Tron: Legacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, and even Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Co-directing the first John Wick made his name a shorthand for clean, punchy action. By the time Bullet Train arrived, he’d already steered Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and produced the crowd-pleaser Nobody. You feel that history in the choreography and the go-for-broke set pieces.

What else is coming to Prime Video in December

It’s not a one-movie month. Prime Video’s slate mixes classics, long-running TV, and brand-new releases across genres. Here are the notable drops and when to watch for them:

  • December 1: 12 Angry Men, Love Actually, Mad Max, and Supernatural Seasons 1–15
  • December 3: Bullet Train
  • Throughout December: new 2025 titles including A Minecraft Movie, Sinners, The Naked Gun, and Fallout Season 2

So yes, Bullet Train is the flashy catalog add, but there’s a lot to queue up around it. Clear some space in the watchlist.
