The Better Sister is a limited series coming to Prime Video on 29 May 2025. Starring Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks, The Better Sister is a crime thriller based on the bestselling book by Alafair Burke.

Per Prime Video, “Chloe (Jessica Biel), a high-profile media executive, lives a picturesque life with her handsome lawyer husband Adam (Corey Stoll) and teenage son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan) by her side while her estranged sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks) struggles to make ends meet and stay clean.

“When Adam is brutally murdered, the prime suspect sends shockwaves through the family, reuniting the two sisters as they try to untangle a complicated family history to discover the truth behind his death.”

  • Corey Stoll as Adam Macintosh
  • Kim Dickens as Detective Nancy Guidry
  • Maxwell Acee Donovan as Ethan Macintosh
  • Bobby Naderi as Detective Matt Bowen
  • Gabriel Sloyer as Jake Rodriguez
  • Gloria Reuben as Michelle Sanders
  • Matthew Modine as Bill Braddock; and
