New on Amazon Prime (May 2020): Every new movie and show arriving this month

By now, you’ve probably exhausted your watchlists and box sets. Luckily, there’s plenty new on Amazon Prime in May to help get you out of your streaming stupor and into discovering fresh shows and movies you can’t wait to tell your friends and family about – from a safe distance, of course.

Among the highlights this month on Amazon Prime is all five seasons of the J.J. Abrams-created series Alias, while those of you thirsty (ahem) for a new dose of Poldark can rest easy in the knowledge that season 5 is also arriving in May.

On the movie side of things, you’ve got plenty of genre flicks (Friday the 13th, anyone?), comedies, and even Elton John biopic Rocketman to help you pass the time this weekend and beyond.

Those looking for a list of Amazon Prime UK arrivals in May should scroll right to the bottom. It’s well worth it, trust me. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Ready Player One, and Mad Max: Fury Road all feature.

Bradley Russell

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
