Amazon Prime Video has announced a list of 16 titles that will be released on its platform in India in May 2020. There's just one original from India in the Anushka Sharma-produced neo-noir crime drama Paatal Lok, releasing May 15. Internationally, The Office creator Greg Daniels returns May 1 with his first new show in a decade. Called Upload, it's a futuristic comedy set in the afterlife.
