Amazon Freevee is shutting down, but the content remains

Amazon has announced that Freevee is going away. Freevee is going away. Except it's not. Not really. Amazon isn't shutting down Freevee completely, but they are phasing out the Freevee name and branding. This means that the content you currently enjoy on Freevee will still be available, but it will be accessed through Prime Video instead.

Here's what's happening:

  • Freevee content is moving to Prime Video: All of the movies, TV shows, and original programming currently on Freevee will be integrated into the Prime Video platform.
  • No change for Prime members: If you're already a Prime subscriber, you'll still have access to all the same content, including Freevee's offerings.
  • Free content remains for non-Prime members: Even if you don't have a Prime membership, you'll still be able to watch a vast library of free content, including some original shows, licensed movies and series, and FAST channels, all within Prime Video.

Essentially, Amazon is consolidating its free and paid streaming services under the Prime Video umbrella to simplify the viewing experience. So, while the Freevee name will disappear, the content will live on within Prime Video. My Streaming Life uses Freevee. I'm glad the content is remaining, but I'm not happy I'll have to wade through Prime Video to get to it.
