Amazon has released its list of new originals, TV shows, and movies streaming on Prime Video this May, joining a long list of content already available. Here’s what’s new through the month of May.
David Harbour’s unconventional (and surprisingly successful) Christmas action-horror Violent Night is joining Prime Video’s library this month from May 26. Promoted as a kind of mix between Die Hard and Home Alone, Violent Night sees an elite group of mercenaries break into a manion on Christmas Eve to hold the weathy family hostage, only to come up against an unlikely adversary–Santa Claus.
Prime Video has also added a sneaky late addition to April‘s lineup with The Accountant, which will be streaming from April 27. The 2016 action thriller follows Ben Affleck as a crooked forensic accountant whose criminal associations are quickly catching up with him.
In terms of originals, Prime Video is releasing two new comedy specials to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month–Jimmy O. Yang’s Guess How Much? comedy special, and Zarna Garg’s One in a Billion special.
May also sees the release of The Gryphon, a German adaptation of Wolfgang Hohlbein’s cult book series. The fantasy series follows three outsiders who have been thrust into the fantasy world of The Black Tower, where a powerful monster called the Gryphon subjugates the world’s other inhabitants. The outsiders seem to be the only ones who can defeat the evil threat, though they don’t go along with this destiny willingly.
Prime Video also recently announced its new Dialogue Boost feature, which will allow viewers to boost the dialogue so it can be heard more clearly over SFX or music. Available now on select Prime Video originals, Amazon plans to roll the feature out to more content over time.
Here’s everything else coming to Prime Video this May.
