Amazon Shuts Down Freevee, Integrates Content into Prime Video
Amazon is phasing out its free ad-supported streaming service Freevee, with content migrating to Prime Video for a streamlined user experience.
- Freevee was originally launched as IMDb Freedive in 2019 and rebranded as Freevee in 2022.
- Amazon's decision to shutter Freevee aims to simplify its streaming offerings and reduce brand confusion.
- Freevee content, including popular shows like 'Jury Duty' and 'Bosch: Legacy,' will remain free to non-Prime users on Prime Video.
- The phase-out will occur over the next few weeks in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Austria, where Freevee was available.
- Amazon confirmed there will be no layoffs related to the shutdown, with Freevee employees integrated into other teams.
