Amazon Prime Video is launching a ton of new series and movies in May, including a limited run of films that would have run at this year’s SXSW.
Amazon.com Inc.’s AMZN, +0.44% streaming service has teamed with Austin’s SXSW Film Festival — which was canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic — to show an online-only mini film festival, featuring nearly 40 independent movies and short films. No Prime account is needed — the titles will be available to anyone with an Amazon account. The mini festival will run from April 27 to May 6, and here’s a list of what will be available.
Meanwhile, Prime Video will have a full slate of movies, new series and returning favorites, including Season 2 of the critically acclaimed psychological thriller “Homecoming” (May 22), with Janelle Monae taking over the lead role; “Upload” (May 1), a futuristic new comedy series from Greg Daniels (of “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation”); and “The Last Narc” (May 15), a docu-series about DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, whose kidnapping and murder in 1985 kicked America’s war on drugs into full throttle.
