What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in May 2024

By
Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You.
Amazon MGM Studios

Unlike some other streaming services in May, Amazon Prime Video is giving subscribers all of the movies that they can handle. Everything from classic Westerns like 3:10 To Yuma and comedies like Airplane! to dramas like Cold Mountain and more are arriving on May 1. Even the German thriller Run Lola Run is back on Prime Video. And if you haven’t seen it yet, you should — it’s terrific.

Prime Video is also premiering new originals in May, including Anne Hathaway’s new romantic drama The Idea of You, as well as Outer Range season 2, The GOAT, and Clarkson’s Farm. George Clooney’s period drama The Boys in The Boat is also arriving on Prime Video this month, but not until May 28.

The best new shows to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Max (HBO), and more
The cast of Evil.

Memorial Day weekend (and holiday weekends in general) tends to be even quieter than usual for the major streamers. Thankfully, Paramount+ and Apple TV+ are keeping things fresh with a pair of shows that are entering their fourth seasons: Evil and Trying. The former is a religious-based X-Files-like horror series with a dedicated fan base, while the latter is an underrated British dramady about a couple who want a family more than anything else in the world.

There aren't many more new shows coming down the runway before the end of May, but the beginning of June means that summer shows like House of the Dragon and The Boys are right around the corner. In the meantime, our complete list of the best new shows to stream is below.

Jennifer Lopez in Atlas.

For the last weekend in May, Netflix is serving up one more original movie for the month: Atlas. This science-fiction film features Jennifer Lopez in the lead, alongside a strong supporting cast that includes. Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, Gregory James Cohan, and Mark Strong. But that isn't the film that unseated Madame Web from the top of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix. Instead, that honor belongs to the 2018 thriller A Simple Favor.

If neither of those two films sound appealing, our remaining 48 choices for the best movies on Netflix can be found below. And there are even more titles arriving in just over a week when new movies for June drop on Netflix.

Not even Amazon Prime Video is immune from slow weeks near the end of the month. That's because new movies will be arriving on June 1, which is just over a week away. In the meantime, one of the only recent additions of note is The Blue Angels, a documentary that is simultaneously streaming on Prime Video while also playing in IMAX theaters. For drama fans, Prime Video is adding Bombshell on Saturday, May 25.

Next week's list of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video is bound to look different from the list we have now, simply because some titles may be leaving at the end of May. So check out the full lineup now and catch your favorites while you can. Because on May 31, we'll be presenting the best Prime Video movies that you can watch in June.
