Amazon pulls the plug on its free streaming service
Amazon Freevee to be phased out in coming weeks
Freevee content is available on Prime Video instead
Prime Video’s successful ads rollout picks up pace
Amazon Freevee is officially being shut down as the company looks to simplify its streaming offerings by making Prime Video a one-stop shop, according to Deadline.
The free streaming service will be phased out over the coming weeks in the US, UK, Germany and Austria, but you’ll still be able to find Amazon Freevee content on Prime Video, including flagship series like Jury Duty, Bosch: Legacy and Judy Justice. These titles will be identifiable by the label ‘Watch for Free’ in the Prime Video app.
Amazon had already begun shifting Freevee Originals to Prime Video way before it introduced ads earlier this year and had given us more signs of the upcoming shift when it announced that the third and final season of Bosch: Legacy would be shared across Freevee and Prime Video in September.
