Amazon Prime Video UK: What’s New in May 2020?

Let's take a look ahead at what Amazon has planned for May on Prime Video UK

Streaming services are very much keeping us occupied at the moment, and there are plenty of them around offering all sorts of different options for your beleaguered eyes during this pandemic.

Amazon Prime Video UK is slightly different, because it can be available as part of the Prime subscription package. Netflix isn’t yet willing to send us cat food and a twelve-year-old copy of Dune on DVD. Disney+ doesn’t try and flog us a tablet. NOW TV hasn’t flung a gift card with frightening speed at the face of someone’s birthday you forgot …yet. Prime just hits different.

Also, Prime gets much weirder the longer you spend scrolling through its wares. If you haven’t fallen down a rabbit hole of old VHS rips and weird public service films on the eighth layer of Prime’s interface, you haven’t yet experienced the full glory of what the service has to offer.

On Prime in May, you’ll get access to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ready Player One and Mad Max: Fury Road, as well as six seasons of Agents of SHIELD to plough your way through.

Our list of everything coming to Prime this month, which will be fairly accurate at the time of writing, lies below. Amazon tends to chuck all sorts on there when it feels like it, so don’t be surprised to see additions not listed here pop up over the next few weeks, or the odd mysterious missing piece of content later in the month. We do our best to collect as much as we can, promise!
