The action warms up on Prime Video this month as John Krasinski returns as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, a CIA analyst who never seems content with a desk job when there are baddies to be chased and international airline miles to be accumulated. And in his first regular TV role in decades, Nicolas Cage, 62, plays a superhero/private detective in 1930s New York City in a noirish crime show that’s part of the Spider-Man universe (and shot in black and white). Those are just two of the highlights on the lineup from Amazon’s streaming service; here are the 11 best new offerings to add to your queue.
Coming May 6
Citadel, Season 2
It’s been three long years since Amazon’s pricey espionage series hooked us with jet-setting adventures, a twisty plot and engaging performances by Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas — with an assist from Stanley Tucci, 65, and Lesley Manville, 70, as senior members of rival agencies. The second season will dig further into the deadly duel between Citadel and Manticore, with everybody’s loyalty being tested. Plus, there are still five nuclear warheads on the loose.
Coming May 8
No Place to Be Single (2026, NR)
This Italian-language film centers on Elisa (Matilde Gioli), a single mom running a vineyard in Tuscany who’s so busy bottling Chianti that she dare not think about a new relationship. But then her childhood friend Michele (Cristiano Caccamo) returns to town. Can she be persuaded to pop the cork on a new romance?
