15 Best Comedy Shows on Prime Video Right Now (March 2026): ‘Jury Duty’ and More

After the sublime comedy of Jury Duty, it would be hard to fool anyone the same way again. That’s probably why the creative team behind Jury Duty opted for a slightly different approach with Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat.

As before, there’s only one genuine non-actor in the show, and his first name is Anthony. He has no idea what’s in store for him as he joins his new co-workers at an annual retreat. Everyone around Anthony is secretly an actor, and he’s going to get a first-hand view of their manic antics.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat will stream on Prime Video on March 20.

Married… With Children was Fox’s first breakout comedy series, and it was pretty daring for its era. Ed O’Neill gave the performance of his life as Al Bundy, a former high school football superstar who was reduced to selling women’s shoes.

Al’s wife, Peggy Bundy (Katey Sagal), takes him for granted, and their kids, Kelly (Christina Applegate) and Bud (David Faustino), are too wrapped up in their own problems to care about him much. This show got 11 seasons out of that simple premise, and it remains a classic of the genre.

Harlem had a three-season run as a Prime Video exclusive that tapped into the female friendship vibe that had long since been abandoned by many mainstream comedies. Meagan Good leads the cast as Camille Parks, a woman who remains close to her inner circle: Angie Wilson (Shoniqua Shandai), Tye Reynolds (Jerrie Johnson) and Quinn Joseph (Grace Byers).

These four friends rely on each other as they navigate their post-college entrance into the workforce and attempt to find significant others who make them happy. It’s the kind of show that would have starred Whoopi Goldberg and Jasmine Guy four decades ago. Not coincidentally, Goldberg and Guy both have recurring roles on this series as well.

NBC recently had a Night Court revival series that ran for three seasons. But the original show had staying power when it was on almost four decades ago. This is a wacky and at times surreal slapstick comedy about the nutty things that happen in the night shift courtroom of Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson).

The cast of the show fluctuated, but the most popular performers included John Larroquette as assistant district attorney Dan Fielding and Markie Post as public defender Christine Sullivan. Between these two, Anderson and the rest of the supporting players, Night Court served up a constant supply of laughter.

There aren’t a lot of comedies about the afterlife, but The Good Place managed to get four seasons out of its premise. Kristen Bell stars as Eleanor Shellstrop, a woman who ends up in the Good Place by mistake. Eleanor knows in her heart of hearts that she belongs in the Bad Place, but she’s terrified that the Good Place’s architect, Michael (Ted Danson), will discover her true nature and banish her.

As Eleanor attempts to navigate her new plane of existence, she befriends Chidi Anagonye (William Jackson Harper), Jason Mendoza (Manny Jacinto) and Tahani Al-Jamil (Jameela Jamil). Together, they stumble upon the secrets of the Good Place and discover that the afterlife isn’t what they thought it was.

In television, it’s incredibly rare for a spinoff of a successful show to match or even exceed the success of the original series. Frasier spun out of Cheers, an all-time great sitcom, and had its own legendary 11-season run on NBC.

In this series, Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) leaves Boston behind for Seattle, where he becomes a radio host. Frasier also reunites with his blue-collar father, Martin (John Mahoney), and his younger brother, Niles (David Hyde Pierce). The Crane boys have to adjust to being back in each others’ lives, while Niles becomes infatuated with Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves), the woman Frasier hired to take care of their disabled father.

In Dead Like Me, the death of Georgia “George” Lass (Ellen Muth) was more memorable than her life. She was killed by a stray toilet seat from the Mir space station as it came down to Earth. But instead of moving on to the great beyond, George has to work off a quota of souls as a grim reaper.

Rube John Sofer (Mandy Patinkin) serves as George’s mentor in the afterlife as she attempts to come to terms with this new phase of her existence. Meanwhile, George’s still-living family struggles to stay together in the aftermath of her death. Dead Like Me can be pretty bleak at times, but the dark humor and engaging cast make it worthwhile.

You may notice quite a bit of influence from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. However, the latter leans further into dark comedy and has fewer restrictions on language. Alex House stars as Todd Smith, a high school student who found the Book of Pure Evil and used it on himself to become a great guitar player.

Upon realizing that the book was turning him evil, Todd teamed up with his classmates, Curtis Weaver (Bill Turnbull), Jenny Kolinsky (Maggie Castle) and Hannah B. Williams (Melanie Leishman) to recover the book before it could do more harm. Meanwhile, their guidance counselor, Atticus Murphy Jr. (Chris Leavins), is secretly working with Satanists to get the book for themselves.

This new comedy procedural stars Leighton Meester and Luke Cook as Lou and Henry Hickman, a sister and brother who are forced to work together after their father, Police Chief “Big Hank” Hickman (Clancy Brown) offers Henry a promotion in order to end their estrangement.

The siblings have very different policing styles and bedside manners, but their partnership might just be what the small town of Eden Vale, Washington, needs. You’ll love the way their sibling banter and shared history helps them solve cases and mend the cracks in their family bonds. Good Cop/Bad Cop is uplifting, sweet and delightfully funny.

Remember when TV theme songs used to tell you exactly what a show was about? The Nanny features one of those iconic ditties about how Fran Fine (Fran Drescher) “was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens, when her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes.” When Fran stumbles into the home of the wealthy Broadway producer Max Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) and is mistaken for a nanny, the rest is history.

From Fran’s iconic laugh to her street smarts and impeccable sense of “a little too loud” style, she changes the Sheffield children (Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury and Madeline Zima) for the better. Throw in some serious sexual tension between Fran and Max, plus scheming assistant C.C. (Lauren Lane) and sarcastic butler Niles (Daniel Davis) and you’ve got years of sitcom gold.

Comedian and podcaster Benito Skinner stars in this series about a straight-passing college freshman who struggles with whether or not to come out as gay. (Suspend your disbelief about the fact that all the actors are in their 30s, we promise it’s worth it.) He quickly befriends Carmen (Wally Baram) and together, they navigate the ups and downs of college — everything from pledging secret societies to figuring out what they truly want out of life.

Inspired by Skinner’s own college experience, Overcompensating is the wild, queer college show that we’ve been missing since The Sex Lives of College Girls ended. Produced by Charli XCX— and featuring a performance by the pop star — this show is a poppy, bright and undiluted dose of fun.

Created by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag is one of those wonderful shows that alternates between “surreal” and “too real,” sometimes over-the-top and sometimes painfully relatable. It follows a woman, known only as Fleabag, as she navigates the loss of her mother and her best friend — often by using sex as an outlet for her anger and pain. Waller-Bridge’s direct addresses to the viewer make you feel immediately invested in the character, offering a sharp and intimate look inside her head. 

Fleabag’s family, including her tightly wound sister Claire (Sian Clifford), her repressed Dad (Bill Patterson) and her overbearing Godmother (Olivia Colman) who is now married to him, add to the show’s emotional dynamics, as do her relationships with characters like a Bank Manager (Hugh Dennis) and a Hot Priest (Andrew Scott). Tears of laughter will mingle with tears of emotion when you watch this Emmy-winning series.

A brilliant combination of mockumentary and improv comedy, Jury Duty takes one unsuspecting man, Ronald Gladden, and places him among a group of people he assumes are typical, randomly selected jurors. In reality, everyone else — including the judge, lawyers, and fellow jurors — is an actor. (They are all mostly complete unknowns except for movie star James Marsden, who plays himself.)

It’s a dynamic ensemble that places Ronald into increasingly ridiculous scenarios — and we get to watch his honest reactions unfold. It’s a lighthearted and entertaining show that ends with a surprisingly sweet message. The cast is lovable, the story is unforgettable and the big reveal is top-notch. Jury Duty is unlike anything you’ve seen before.

It’s a happy day in hell! After YouTube animator Vivienne “VivziePop” Medrano released an indie pilot on her channel in 2019, the story — about the Princess of Hell’s attempts to rehabilitate the souls of sinners so they may be admitted to Heaven — gained viral attention. After years of devoted social media promotion, Hazbin Hotel was turned into a full series on Amazon Prime Video — and it’s a gory, raunchy, hilarious musical mess.

The animated musical comedy stars Broadway actress Erika Henningson as Princess Charlie Morningstar, Stephanie Beatriz as her partner Vaggie, Jeremy Jordan as Lucifer and many more talented voice actors. Juxtaposing the gruesome setting of Hell with Charlie’s irrepressible optimism and moments of genuine character development, this series is utterly unique — which is probably why it developed such an obsessive fanbase. Luckily, fans won’t have to wait another five years to see season 2 — it’s coming to Prime on October 29.

This comedy drama series takes place in the world of New York City’s classical music scene, following ambitious oboist Hailey Rutledge, played by Lola Kirke, and the charismatic yet unpredictable maestro Rodrigo De Souza, portrayed by Gael García Bernal. The up-and-down relationship between Hailey and Rodrigo is almost as complicated as the trials and tribulations of the New York Symphony Orchestra, which is always struggling for funds and dealing with union problems.

The show’s writing stands out for its wit and clever dialogue. It juxtaposes the elegance of high art and the often messy, real lives of those who pursue it in ways that are both funny and poignant. The talented ensemble cast also includes Saffron Burrows, Malcolm McDowell, Jason Schwartzman and Bernadette Peters.
