Compared to April, May is a relatively quiet month for Amazon Prime Video’s original offerings. There are still weekly new episodes of Citadel, the ridiculously expensive sci-fi action series from the Russo brothers. But beyond that, the highest profile release of the month is the Jimmy O. Yang: Guess How Much? comedy special. However, we’ve also got our eye on Hohlbeins’ – The Gryphon, an intriguing German fantasy series that will make its debut near the end of May.
For fans of classic television, Prime Video is also offering Freaks and Geeks, Dynasty, and the seminal teen series of the ’90s, Beverly Hills 90210. That’s in addition to a strong lineup of new movies including A Beautiful Mind, Dallas Buyers Club, and Shutter Island.
The full list of everything coming to Amazon Prime Video in May is below. And our recommendations are in bold, as always. If you want a little more help in deciding what to watch, we have a list of the best movies streaming on Amazon, as well as a list of the best TV shows streaming on Amazon. If Amazon isn’t your only go-to streaming service, we also have helpful articles on the best movies on Netflix and the best shows on Netflix, as well as plenty of guides for Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max.
