Amazon is not the only media company shuttering (or at least, trimming) free streaming: Peacock eliminated its free, limited tier in 2023. Pluto TV (owned by Paramount, but not integrated within Paramount+) and Tubi (Fox) remain top free-streaming options.

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

Amazon is going to shut down Freevee, its free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service. The service’s content has already been migrated over to Prime Video and new episodes of Freevee shows will be available to people who don’t pay for Prime, Deadline reports. The brand will be phased out “over the coming weeks,” Deadline says.
