New month, new streaming offer on Amazon Prime Video. In May, the provider will once again be adding a few new series and many new films to its program. TECHBOOK reveals what’s new to see.
Amazon is one of the largest video streaming providers out there. Prime customers of the online retailer can not only use the free premium shipping for 69 euros per year (34 euros for students) or 7.99 per month (then can be canceled monthly), they also have access to Amazon Prime Music and Amazon Prime Video two streaming services available.
So that Amazon Prime Video can keep up with competitors like Netflix and Disney+, the provider expands the selection of series and films every month. The company also produces its own content under the Amazon Originals name. TECHBOOK reveals which new films and series Amazon Prime Video customers can look forward to in May 2022. It should be noted, however, that the offer can be expanded by Amazon at any time.
