Another month means another new batch of movies and TV shows are coming to Amazon Prime, and we've put them all into this handy list for you. Your next movie night is sorted, for one thing – old favorites like The Sixth Sense or Almost Famous are coming to the US version of the streamer, as well as new horror release Saint Maud. Viewers across the pond in the UK, meanwhile, can catch movies like All the Money in the World and John Wick: Chapter 2.
If you're looking for a new series to binge, you're in luck – new Amazon Original releases The Underground Railroad and Solos are highly anticipated and boast big Hollywood names both in front of and behind the camera. That's just the start of it, too, so without further ado: here's everything new on Amazon Prime in the US and the UK in May 2021, with the three of the biggest highlights at the top.
The Underground Railroad – May 14
The Underground Railroad (in reality a network of abolitionists, hidden routes, and safe houses that helped enslaved people escape to freedom in the 1800s) takes place in an alternate timeline where it's an actual railroad complete with engineers, conductors, tracks, and tunnels. The series follows Cora (Thuso Mbedu), an enslaved woman hoping to find liberation. Helmed by Moonlight director Barry Jenkins, it's based on the critically acclaimed novel by Colson Whitehead.
Solos – May 21
Solos, a new seven-part anthology series, has a pretty stacked cast – alongside Academy Award winners Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, and Helen Mirren, it stars Uzo Aduba (Orange is the New Black), Nicole Beharie (Black Mirror), Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast), and Constance Wu (Hustlers). The show is described as dramatic and thought-provoking and will tell character-driven stories from different perspectives that explore human connection.
Panic – May 28
Based on the novel of the same name by Lauren Oliver, Panic follows 47 teenagers who, after graduating high school, take part in a competition which will lead them to escape the small town they live in. However, after the rules change, they must decide how much they are willing to risk to leave their hometown. The cast includes Olivia Welch (Unbelievable), Mike Faist (West Side Story), and Jessica Sula (Split).
