Club Benefits
After a slightly slimmer-looking April (aside from "The Boys" season 5, obviously), Prime Video is seriously bringing the heat in May. This month, Amazon's streaming service is putting John Krasinski back in the field for a new "Jack Ryan" movie, Nicolas Cage is suiting up for the live-action "Spider-Noir" TV series, and Joe Russo's spy thriller "Citadel" is returning for its second season ... and that's not all.
While Amazon hasn't yet published its full schedule for May 2026, I've put together a list of the best things you can look forward to streaming this month, and I'll look to update this list with everything else that's inbound when I can. No doubt there's also a slew of library titles inbound to look forward to streaming at the start of the month, too. You can find all my top picks of what's new on Prime Video in May 2026 below.
New on Prime Video in May 2026: Top picks
'Citadel' season 2 (May 6)
Three years after launching Prime Video's international spy thriller series (paving the way for regional spin-offs like "Diana" and "Honey Bunny"), the Russo Brothers' main "Citadel" show is back, putting the surviving Citadel operatives Mason Kane (Richard Madden), Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) and Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci) through their paces.

To achieve their goals, they'll need to recruit a new team of operatives and embark on a globe-spanning mission to stop a conspiracy with world-shaping stakes.

'Good Omens' season 3 (May 13)
"Good Omens" is back to cap off this story with a 90-minute finale. This new special will pick up where that fantastical story last left off. Aziraphale (Martin Sheen) has been working as the newly-appointed Supreme Archangel, and he's got a big responsibility weighing him down: he's to oversee the Second Coming. Naturally, that's a lot for any angel to deal with, but it's made worse when his plans cause trouble among the other angels. Elsewhere, his demonic former confidant, Crowley (David Tennant), is feeling dejected and abandoned by his former friend, wandering the streets of Soho, London, at rock bottom.
With the fate of the universe hanging in the balance, the pair have to confront their fractured relationship and reforge that bond, navigating their complex emotions and ultimately deciding whether that friendship — and the world — is worth saving.

'Off Campus' (May 13)
If you're looking for something a little less action-packed than some of the other suggestions on this list, this new romance (which has already been renewed for a second season!) might be more your speed.
"Off Campus" is an adaptation of Elle Kennedy's best-selling books and revolves around an elite university hockey team, following as they come of age and navigate love, friendship and adulthood. Season 1 focuses on a classic "opposites attract" romance that blooms between quiet songwriter, Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) and Briar University's star athlete, Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), a relationship that shows the pair what happens when they connect with someone from a whole different world.

'Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War' (May 20)
Three years after the Prime Video show's' fourth season, John Krasinski's Jack Ryan is being brought back to the world stage for "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War." Expect
In this feature-length new instalment, Jack Ryan is reluctantly thrown back into the field after a covert mission unearths a deadly conspiracy. Operating in real time, the new film sees him reunited with CIA boss James Greer (Wendell Pierce) and operative Mike November (Michael Kelly) and teamed with a new partner from MI6 (Emma Marlowe, played by Sienna Miller). Together, they're taking on a rogue black-ops unit who appear to know their every move and facing a past that they thought was long put to rest...

'Spider-Noir' (May 27)
My personal Prime Video highlight of the month is most assuredly the upcoming "Spider-Noir" series. Based on the Marvel comic series, Spider-Man Noir, the show tells the story of Ben Reilly (played by Nicolas Cage, in his first leading TV role), an aging, down-on-his-luck PI from 1930s New York (whom you no doubt saw in the animated "Spider-Verse" movies).
Ben's forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city's one and only superhero. The series premieres in Authentic Black and White and True-Hue Full Color at the end of the month.
