On Amazon Prime, new series and movies are constantly being released and taken down again. It’s hard to keep track of everything. We help you!
Amazon Prime Video has been striving to become the next Netflix for quite some time, but continues to fail in its attempt to make bigger waves. While there are some offerings worth watching, it fails due to the fact that Netflix is simply ubiquitous and gets more attention and, of course, the fact that Disney+ has stolen all the good franchises. Prime Video does have one advantage, though: it’s also an Amazon Prime subscription, so you actually get more bang for your buck.
It’s not like Amazon isn’t trying. The company has snagged a number of licenses lately. With a new “God of War” TV series rumored to already be in production, and the eagerly anticipated “Lord of the Rings” series due out later this year, Prime Video could actually gain traction in the coming years.
Now it’s our job to analyze and present the platform’s upcoming releases for you. Ultimately, the question is whether Amazon Prime is worth the money. There is a huge oversupply of movies and series. What’s worth a look?

We’ll dig out a bit more and bring you a full list of all the month’s new releases, but here are the highlights for now..
Gone with the Wind (01.05.2022)
Scarlett and Thett Butler became legends in this Southern drama. It’s the story of the American Civil War, the freeing of slaves, and a world in upheaval.

The sci-fi drama “Night Sky” is about the York couple, who can travel through a chamber to an abandoned planet. One day their lives are turned upside down by a young man. Sounds very mysterious and exciting! Definitely a highlight in May.

What’s leaving Amazon Prime Video in May 2022?
It’s really hard to keep track of what’s leaving Amazon every month. The expiration date is sometimes announced very close. Contracts end and series move to other platforms, but usually there are more releases than departures. If you want to see in bundles which titles are deleted, however, it’s not that easy. Only the category “No longer included in Prime in less than 30 days” gives you an insight into which movies and series will soon disappear.
The most important Amazon Prime Video departures in May 2022.
We won’t always have such a comprehensive list in this section, but lately it’s been full of movies and series from 20th Century Fox. And why? Disney bought out the company and much of its content is moving to Disney+. Maybe there’s something else in there for you?
12 Years a Slave (date still unknown).
Director Steve McQueen’s new film “12 Years a Slave” describes slavery in the U.S. from an unusual perspective: it tells the story of a free black man who is taken to the Southern states for slave labor. The film is based on a true story. Handkerchiefs at the ready!
Love Happens (date still unknown)
Three years after the traumatic accidental death of his wife, psychologist Burke Ryan is giving everyone help with grief. In guidebooks that have become best-sellers, as well as in seminars that bring people who have experienced loss back to life through a multi-step program. He himself, however, never really faced his pain. Until he meets Eloise, a sweet and endearingly crazy florist. She brings him out of his emotional rigidity, shows him that he too can forgive himself, he too can love again.

There are some really cool releases and some wild departures in there. Keep an eye on the list as we update it every month and every week to give you the best overview of the program!
Overwatch
Overwatch is a computer game by Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) and a first-person shooter with individual fantasy elements. The game was released in May 2016.
In Overwatch, the player must choose between 21 unique characters, which can be freely selected in a loosely held classification system (offensive and defensive class, support unit and tanks).
A character’s three to four different abilities can be controlled and activated through the mouse and keyboard. The game modes already vary from scoring points to cargo hauling. Team play is required in both modes, as each character takes on a specific role in the battlefield (e.g. heal teammates, provide backup, or secure defensive lines).
The name Overwatch derives itself from a fictional elite military unit that came together when robots tried to subjugate humanity in a near future. Individual characters are associated with this unit in the game, while others oppose it. It is not yet known whether the storyline will continue in multiplayer.
Brawl
Brawl is a game mode in which time-limited rule variations of the well-known modes are drawn. Sometimes completely new game modes are used in Brawls.
Rule variations include, for example, the restriction to certain heroes or classes, changes to the cool-down times or certain cards. New game modes that have been playable so far include a soccer game and a PvE mode.
Usually, Brawls are restarted as Brawl of the Week every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and are then playable for a week. On certain occasions, such as – Season al events, Brawls may also be playable for a longer or shorter period of time.
The game mode is comparable to the card chaos from Hearthstone and was activated for the first time in the beta phase on March 22, 2016 through a patch.
