One of the joys of streaming is having access to a vast selection of movies at any time. Even with just an Amazon Prime Video subscription, you have hundreds of titles at your fingertips, many worth your time. But this abundance comes with a challenge: deciding what to watch. Choosing which titles to prioritize can be difficult, but one approach is to focus on movies leaving the platform soon. For this reason, you should make time for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again before it departs from the streaming service at the end of the month.
This sequel to Mamma Mia! might sound silly, but trust us, it’s well worth your time. Here are three reasons why you should check it out:

A Surprising and Moving Plot Twist:
The original Mamma Mia! follows Sophie, a young girl who wants to know her father on the eve of her wedding. The sequel picks up after Sophie has lost her mother, as she tries to keep her mother’s Greek resort afloat. Simultaneously, we see flashbacks to Sophie’s mother as she connects with the three men who could be Sophie’s fathers. This split structure creates surprising resonances and leads to an emotional climax that reminds us how close we remain to those we’ve lost.*
Unforgettable Musical Numbers:
The first Mamma Mia! boasts plenty of great ABBA music, but Here We Go Again elevates the musical experience, delivering some of the best sequences of the 21st century. The clear priority here was to have as much fun as possible, and that joy radiates through every moment of the movie. The entire endeavor is rather silly, and Here We Go Again embraces a lightheartedness that makes it all the more enchanting.*
One of the Best After-Credits Scenes Ever:
Marvel can’t hold a candle to Here We Go Again. After a surprisingly tender conclusion, the movie returns with a bang, ending with a closing number that unites the past and present casts, allowing characters to dance with alternate versions of themselves. It’s a grand display that showcases the movie’s incredible ensemble cast, but it also embodies everything that makes the entire film so rewarding. This closing credits sequence was designed to get moviegoers dancing in the aisles, and for many, it achieved exactly that.Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Don’t miss your chance to experience this delightful film before it’s gone.
