Amazon pulled the plug on its free and ad-supported streaming platform Freevee and moved all its content to Prime Video. The platform, recently known as IMDb Freedive and IMDb TV, will cease operations in the coming weeks.
Amazon pulled the plug on Freevee
Freevee users will now be able to find all content on the platform on Prime Video. Users in regions where Freevee is available, such as the USA, UK and Germany; Under the “Watch for Free” label, they will be able to access productions such as Jury Duty, Bosch: Legacy, Neighbors and Alex Rider.
“We have decided to phase out the Freevee brand to provide a simpler viewing experience for customers,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. “There will be no changes to the content available for Prime members,” he said. Accordingly, users who are not Prime members will continue to access Amazon MGM Studios’ productions.
The decision to shut down Freevee comes after Amazon added ads to its Prime Video service earlier this year. Since both Freevee and Prime Video offer similar ad-supported tiers, it was inevitable that one of the platforms would be discontinued.
Productions on Freevee are currently integrated with Amazon MGM Studio and Prime Video. That’s why the company is not expected to shut down teams working for Freevee. Of course, it is not yet clear whether the content will be available in countries where Freevee is not available.
