What’s coming to Amazon Prime Video in South Africa in April 2021

Fans of action movies, comedy series and horror anthologies are in for a treat with this month's line-up of Amazon Originals.

If you loved Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, make sure to put Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse on your watchlist for April. For those who binge-watched Lovecraft Country and are in the mood for more socially conscious horror set in the USA, the anthology series THEM will fit the bill. There’s also the charming comedy series Frank of Ireland, which is the perfect remedy for any autumn blues you may be feeling.

These are the Amazon Originals landing on Prime Video this month. Happy streaming!

THEM | 9 April 2021

THEM is a limited anthology series that explores terror in America. The first season, 1950s-set COVENANT, centres around a Black family who move from North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighbourhood during the period known as The Great Migration. The family’s idyllic home becomes ground zero where malevolent forces, next door and otherworldly, threaten to taunt, ravage and destroy them.

Frank of Ireland | 16 April 2021

Brian Gleeson (Peaky Blinders, The Bisexual), stars as Frank Marron, a 32-year-old catastrophe; a misanthropic fantasist in arrested development who’s convinced that the world owes him. He’s also our hero. Frank is newly single and still lives at home with his mother. He’s a self-proclaimed musician with a tenuous hold on reality, and hasn’t written a song or played a gig in years. His ex-girlfriend Áine (Sarah Greene) has just found a new boyfriend, and Frank may be finding that a tad difficult. Luckily, Frank has a loyal best friend, Doofus, (Domhnall Gleeson) whose full-time job is clearing the debris left in Frank’s wake. Set in an idyllic suburb of Dublin, Frank of Ireland is the hilarious story of a man’s hapless search for respect, as he struggles to grow up and get his life together, and hopefully not burn everything to the ground in the process.

Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse | 30 April 2021

The upcoming American action thriller film starring Michael B Jordan is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Tom Clancy and a spin-off of the Jack Ryan film series.

The film tells the origin story of John Kelly (aka John Clark), a US Navy SEAL who uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife by Russian soldiers. When Kelly joins forces with fellow SEAL Karen Greer and shadowy CIA agent Robert Ritter, the mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the US and Russia in an all-out war.
