On Amazon Prime Video, not much has changed as the second full week of May marches on. Audiences are still obsessed with popes, gladiators and tornadoes, and the movies about them continue to do well on the platform.
But this week, there are a few new occupants on Prime Video’s most popular movies and shows list. Fans of The Accountant probably flocked to stream Homefront, a similar testosterone-fueled tale of a man wreaking havoc on small-town America.
There’s also the return of an Amazon original series, The Bondsman, starring Kevin Bacon as an undead bounty hunter with some scores to settle.
To find out the rest of Amazon’s most popular movies and shows this week, read Watch With Us‘ list below.

1. ‘Another Simple Favor’ (2025)
Shake those gin martinis and get out your ridiculously oversized hats because Another Simple Favor is finally streaming on Amazon. It’s no surprise that the movie is already popular on the streamer, as it delivers the same escapist thrills and “WTF” moments as the original.
Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) is out of jail and eager to mend her fractured friendship with Stephanie Somers (Anna Kendrick). She invites her ex-BFF to her wedding in sunny Capri, but is Emily sincere in wanting to reconcile with Stephanie, or is she merely plotting her revenge on the woman who put her in jail and ruined her life?
2. ‘Conclave’ (2024)
The recent death of Pope Francis has sparked a surge of interest in Conclave, a recent Oscar-winning film that depicts what happens after a pope dies and the College of Cardinals is forced to select a new leader. Overseeing this election is Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes), who knows far more secrets than he likes.
Will Lawrence’s knowledge help elect an untested candidate? Or will his discretion pave the way for a leader whose views differ from his own?
3. ‘Twisters’ (2024)
Twisters is the rare “requel” that’s arguably better than the original, 1996’s Twister. Both movies involved an unlikely couple chasing after the titular windstorms to overcome some unsettled personal trauma.
But Twisters trumps its predecessor by having two charismatic lead actors — Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones — generating some genuine chemistry amid the storm wreckage, and a director, Lee Isaac Chung, who is just as concerned with his characters as he is with his CGI natural disasters.
4. ' Reacher’ (2022-Present)
You can’t keep a good guy down. That’s never been more true with Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson), whose towering presence has intimated and delighted fans for three straight seasons.
In Reacher, Lee Child’s popular action hero has been battling bad guys with brawn and firearms. The recipe is simple, but it works — Reacher is one of streaming’s most popular shows right now.
5. ‘The Bondsman’ (2025)
Kevin Bacon stars as Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter who is brought back from the dead by the Devil to hunt wayward demons on Earth. Hub’s unexpected resurrection not only gives him the opportunity to live again but also right the wrongs in his life, like spending more time with his surly teenage son, Cade (Maxwell Jenkins).
But will Hub’s new job from Hell (literally!) prevent him from being the father he always wanted to be? Since its premiere last month, The Bondsman has been one of Amazon’s most popular shows, and that’s largely due to the show’s unique premise and typically likeable performance by Bacon.
6. ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ (2022-2025)
All summers must end, even for teenage girls caught in hopelessly convoluted love triangles. Amazon’s popular YA series The Summer I Turned Pretty recently announced its forthcoming third season will be its last, so fans are catching up with the first two in time to give the series a proper goodbye.
Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung) is a typical teenage girl who spends her summers by the beach, contemplating life. Complications ensue when she falls for two childhood friends, Jeremiah and Conrad (Gavin Casalegno and Christopher Briney), who also happen to be brothers. Can the three teens remain friends while navigating the complicated affairs of the heart?
7. ‘Homefront’ (2013)
Jason Statham has been entertaining movie fans for almost 20 years now, and he remains a popular actor in mid-budget action flicks like Homefront. The 2013 film stars Statham as Phil Broker, a former DEA agent who moves to a small town looking for some peace and quiet.
He doesn’t find any, especially after his daughter, Maddy, angers the local meth kingpin, Gator Bodine (James Franco) and his partner Sheryl (Winona Ryder). Now, Broker must use his skills as a law enforcer to take Gator out and save his daughter.
8. ‘Gladiator II’ (2024)
Twenty-four years after the original movie won Oscars and inspired some men to wear togas and grunt, Gladiator II stormed into theaters and mostly retold the same story as the original. Lucius Aurelius (Paul Mescal) is seeking vengeance after his wife is murdered, and the only way he’ll find it is by fighting as a gladiator in Rome.
Little does he know he’s part of a bigger plot involving his estranged mother, Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), and a mysterious arms dealer, Macrinus (Denzel Washington), to usurp the two reigning emperors and rule Rome.
9. ‘The Accountant’ (2016)
The Accountant 2 is now out in theaters, which may explain why the original is at the top of Amazon’s most popular movie list. Ben Affleck stars as Christian Wolff, a seemingly mild-mannered accountant who just so happens to be a dangerous assassin.
When he discovers a client has been cooking his company’s books to steal some money, Christian soon finds himself on the run from various hitmen trying to kill him. Can Christian find a way out of this mess without losing his lucrative accounting business — or his life?
10. ‘The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards’
It’s time again to honor the country music industry’s best and brightest with the 60th edition of the Academy of Country Music Awards. Held on May 8, 2025, the awards show was hosted by country legend Reba McEntire and featured performances by Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Jelly Roll, Wynonna Judd and more.
We won’t tell you who won, but we can reveal that Keith Urban was awarded the ACM Triple Crown Award. The awards show took place in Frisco, Texas, and lasted about 150 minutes.
