New Amazon Prime Video and Freevee Shows and Movies in May 2024

Even if you're a Prime Video member right now just to watch Fallout for the seventh time, you should know that there's a series coming to Amazon's streaming service that's even more absurd, and instead of it being about people who crawl out of the Earth from holes in the ground, it's about people who go INTO holes in the ground. Outer Range returns for Season 2 on May 16, and it stars Josh Brolin as Royal Abbott, the owner of a ranch in Montana who discovers a strange hole in a pasture that just might be a portal to another time. There are also stampeding bison, disappearing mountains, rodeo competitions, singing cowboys, and good old fashioned murder. Honestly, it's so bizarre that we're still trying to figure it out. 

There are also a pair of movies worth your time out in May. On May 2, Anne Hathaway stars in The Idea of You, an adaptation of Robinne Lee's book about the romantic relationship between a 40-year-old single mom and the lead singer of a pop group, and on May 14, the Oscar-nominated film American Fiction makes its Prime Video debut. Elsewhere, Daniel Tosh hosts the reality series The GOAT and Patton Oswalt hosts the logic-forward game show The 1% Club. 

Below, you'll find our picks for the best shows and movies to watch on Amazon Prime Video in May as well as the full list of everything coming to Prime Video and Freevee, the free service that's accessible through Prime Video but doesn't require Prime membership.

The best new movies and shows on Prime Video in May

The Idea of You (May 2, Prime Video)

Ever go to a massive musical festival only to have the lead singer of the most popular band hit on you? Yeah, all the time, right? Well it also happens to Anne Hathaway in this adaptation of the 2017 Robinne Lee novel about a 40-year-old single mom (Hathaway) who begins a whirlwind romance with the 24-year-old frontman (boy of the moment Nicholas Galitzine) of a popular boy band. [Trailer]

American Fiction (May 14, Prime Video)

Best Picture nominee American Fiction has been on a streaming service for a while now, it's just that it was exclusive to MGM+, so was it really streaming at all? Now it comes to Prime Video so everyone can see Jeffrey Wright's brilliant performance as a Black professor who, after finding little success as an academic author, writes a "Black book" packed with stereotypes as a joke only to see it become a critical and commercial success. Director and writer Cord Jefferson won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay at last year's Oscars. [Trailer]

Outer Range Season 2 (May 16, Prime Video)

Season 1 of Josh Brolin's oddball time-traveling neo-Western was a hoot but still had plenty of room for improvement, so we're high on Season 2 after a change of showrunners — creator and TV newbie Brian Watkins was replaced by industry vet Charles Murray between seasons — and a promise of delivering answers to this deliciously crackpot drama that meandered through the ether in its debut outing. The show's main engine remains: Brolin's cowboy Royal Abbott has found a hole in the ground that spits those who go into it into another time period. But with plenty of secrets revealed and other unexplained phenomena introduced (Black ooze! Stampeding bison! Long-lost relatives appearing out of thin air!) toward the end of Season 1, the story feels like it's just getting started. [Trailer] [Everything We Know About Outer Range Season 2]
