Amazon is shutting down Freevee, its free ad-supported streaming television service (FAST). The service’s content has already been moved to Prime Video, and new episodes of Freevee shows will now be available to non-Prime members, according to Deadline. The Freevee brand will be phased out in the coming weeks.
Launched in 2019 as IMDb Freedive, the service was quickly rebranded to IMDb TV and then to Freevee in 2022. Freevee featured its own original content, including *Bosch: Legacy* and *Jury Duty*, and in 2023, Amazon began adding Prime Video content to the platform.
An Amazon spokesperson told Deadline, “To deliver a simpler viewing experience for customers, we have decided to phase out the Freevee brand. There will be no change to the content available for Prime members, and a wide selection of free streaming content will remain available for non-Prime members, including select Originals from Amazon MGM Studios, a variety of licensed movies and series, and a large library of FAST Channels — all accessible on Prime Video.”
