Amazon Studios' Original Content for Prime Video is available to global Prime members, bringing customers our critically-acclaimed Amazon Original Series and Movies such as Coming 2 America, Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty, The Boys, Wheel of Time, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Underground Railroad, and Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse and Jack Ryan; hit Local Originals from around the world including Made in Heaven, Mirzapur and The Family Man from India; The Grand Tour from the UK; and LOL: Last One Laughing (now available in Italy, India, France. Now available in more than 240 countries and territories, Prime Video offers customers the broadest selection of any on-demand video service, including Germany, Mexico, and more); plus exclusives and live sports.

Amazon Freevee (formerly known as IMDb TV) launched in 2019 as a free, streaming, ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) service replete with a library of licensed content that enabled customers to watch hit TV shows, top Hollywood movies and more without purchasing a subscription. Amazon Studios’ creative leadership of Freevee - both for licensed content and its push into Originals - complements the Prime Video offering.

Amazon Freevee offers viewers compelling Originals in an ad-supported environment, including Bosch: Legacy, the spinoff of the Prime Video drama series Bosch; the Emmy-winning court program Judy Justice; the comedy series Sprung; the reality series Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis; rom-com feature Love Accidentally; music documentary Post Malone: Runaway; spy thriller Alex Rider; Australian crime drama Troppo; and the sports docuseries UNINTERRUPTED’s Top Class: The Life and Times of the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers. Combined with an always updating library of broadly appealing hit movies and TV shows across a wide selection of genres, a catalog of more than 100 FAST channels, and now available in the UK and Germany, Freevee delivers customers the content they would expect to see on a paid service.
