Amazon Prime Video’s new period drama movies in May 2023
Another month, another selection of new movies and TV series to watch on Amazon Prime Video in the US!
The complete list of additions for May 2023 is as massive as ever, so here we’ve selected the best titles for fans of historical dramas, British TV, and classic movies to add to their watch list.

May opens with a ton of classic movies to make your way through, and if you’re not sure what to start with, we suggest Russell Crowe’s A Beautiful Mind, which won four Oscars back in 2002.
There’s also World War II drama Darkest Hour, starring Gary Oldman under a ton of make-up as Winston Churchill, and Steven Spielberg’s jolly animated Tintin adventure from 2011.
Two acclaimed but hard-hitting dramas from 2022 also land on Prime this month, with Weinstein scandal drama She Said and 1950s racism drama Till arriving later in the month.
If you’re more in the mood for some fun escapism, we recommend a Bridget Jones double-bill and the first Mamma Mia! movie to lift your spirits.
