Amazon will Freevee in den kommenden Wochen abschalten und in Prime Video integrieren.

Amazon.com stopt met zijn Freevee platform voor gratis video streaming content. Het bedrijf verplaatst de content naar zijn Prime Video site, als onderdeel van een bredere strategie om het platform te veranderen in een aggregator van gratis en betaalde video-opties.

Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to watch Jury Duty for freevee.

Amazon is closing down Freevee, its free ad-supported video on demand service. This platform was home to original programming as well as more than 100 originals from the Prime Video roster. Freevee will be phased out over the coming weeks, and its content will become available as part of Prime Video. The ad-supported tier of Prime Video is included as part of Amazon's Prime membership for $15 a month.

"To deliver a simpler viewing experience for customers, we have decided to phase out Freevee branding," an Amazon spokesperson told Variety. "There will be no change to the content available for Prime members, and a vast offering of free streaming content will still be accessible for non-Prime members, including select originals from Amazon MGM Studios, a variety of licensed movies and series, and a broad library of FAST channels – all available on Prime Video."

The free viewing platform went through several rebrands since its original launch as IMDb Freedive in January 2019. It entered its final phase as Freevee in April 2022.
