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.”

Amazon has confirmed it is shutting down Freevee, its free ad-supported streaming service, and folding it into Prime Video.

Amazon will shut down Freevee, its free, advertising-supported streaming service, the company has announced. According to reports, content exclusive to Freevee will be moved to Amazon Prime in the coming weeks. Additionally, new episodes of Freevee-exclusive shows will remain free to watch on Prime Video.

Amazon is preparing to shutter the doors on Freevee, its free, ad-supported streaming service housed within Prime Video

It's official -- free, ad-supported video on demand streaming service Amazon Freevee will be phased out over the coming weeks.

Amazon is officially shutting down Freevee, its free, ad-supported video streaming service originally launched under the IMDb brand.

Amazon's FAST service seemed redundant after Amazon launched the Prime Video ad tier in January. With the subscription tier making money from subscription fees and ads shown on Prime Video with ads, it made little sense for Amazon to continue with Freevee, which only has the latter revenue stream.

Amazon reveals that it is shutting down Freevee, its FAST channel, now that Prime Video has ads, but some content remains free to all.
