Citadel Season 2 — Available 6 May 2026
"Citadel" is back, and the stakes have never been higher. Season two picks up with Mason Kane, Nadia Sinh, and Bernard Orlick, elite operatives of a legendary intelligence agency that was torn apart by a shadowy network known as Manticore. When a dangerous new threat surfaces, the team must rebuild, recruit, and launch a globe-spanning mission to stop a conspiracy with the potential to reshape the world as we know it.
Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas return in the lead roles, and the supporting cast this season is genuinely impressive. Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, Matt Berry, Jack Reynor, and Rahul Kohli are among those joining the mission, bringing real depth and energy to a show that has always thrived on its ensemble. Joe Russo and David Weil return as executive producers, and the blockbuster scale that defined season one is very much intact here.
If you enjoy spy thrillers where the loyalties are constantly shifting and the action never lets up, this is exactly where you want to be on 6 May.

Off Campus Season 1 — Available 13 May 2026
"Off Campus" arrives mid-month as Prime Video's new campus drama, and it centres on one of the more unlikely romantic pairings you will find on screen this year. A wry, hockey-hating music major finds herself drawn into the orbit of Briar University's womanising star centre, and what follows is a season one that leans into the push and pull of two people who probably should not work together but absolutely do.
Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli lead the cast, with Mika Abdalla, Stephen Thomas Kalyn, Jalen Thomas Brooks, and Antonio Cipriano rounding out the ensemble. The series was created by Silver Tree, Samantha Bailey, Erica Dunton, and Dawn Wilkinson, and brings a sharp, character-driven energy to the campus romance genre that feels fresh rather than formulaic.
It is the kind of show that rewards watching in one go, and with the full first season dropping on 13 May, you will not have to wait long to find out how it all plays out.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War — Available 20 May 2026
"Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War" closes out the month in style. John Krasinski returns as Jack Ryan, this time reluctantly pulled back into the world of espionage when an international covert mission begins to unravel and exposes a deadly conspiracy at its core. Joining him are CIA allies Mike November and James Greer, alongside sharp MI6 officer Emma Marlowe, played by Sienna Miller, as the team races to bring down a rogue black-ops unit before it is too late.
The cast assembled here is exceptional. Alongside Krasinski and Miller, the film features Wendell Pierce, Betty Gabriel, Max Beesley, JJ Feild, Douglas Hodge, and Michael Kell, with Andrew Bernstein directing. It is a deeply personal story wrapped inside a high-octane action thriller, and it marks a genuinely exciting new chapter for the franchise.
"Ghost War" lands on Prime Video on 20 May 2026 and looks set to be one of the biggest streaming events of the month.
