Amazonhas announced that it is ditching one of its popularstreaming servicessoon.
Despite having only launched in full in 2022 (having been known as IMDb Freedive and IMDb TV beforehand), Freevee is being closed down over the coming few weeks.
The free ad-supported platform was originally launched in the UK as a section of Prime Video and that’s where it’s returning, but this time without the branding. Instead, its programming and live channels will be incorporated into Amazon’s subscription platform.
“To deliver a simpler viewing experience for customers, we have decided to phase out Freevee branding,” Amazon said in a statement (viaVariety).
“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,” the company said in a statement (via Variety).
The resurrection of Australian soapNeighbourswill likely also continue on Prime Video. Amazon acquired the long-running show in 2022 and made it a Freevee exclusive, and while it is yet to confirm future plans, it sounds like it could make the switch.

It’ll be interesting to see if this move has any major effect on the other ad-supported free services out there, such as Pluto TV, Tubi and Roku TV. Their business models rely on attracting viewers to their completely free platforms, and if Amazon struggled with its variant, what does the future hold for those too?
