Amazon has today announced a new partnership with 20th Century Fox that will allow Amazon Prime loyalty members to stream a wide selection of Fox’s catalog of movies and TV shows for free.
The new service is expected to start in the Autumn and include TV shows like “24,” “The X-Files,” “NYPD Blue,” “Arrested Development,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Ally McBeal,” and newly available “The Wonder Years.”
Movies will include: Speed, Mrs. Doubtfire, Doctor Dolittle, Last of the Mohicans, and Office Space, as well as classics like The Longest Day, All About Eve, 9 to 5, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Expanding the Amazon Prime Library
Amazon explained in today’s statement:
“Since the launch of Prime instant videos in February, we have more than doubled the library to 11,000 titles and will continue to add more of our customers’ favorite movies and TV shows to Prime instant videos,”
This partnership with 20th Century Fox is a significant step in Amazon’s strategy to enhance its Prime service, making it more attractive to current and potential subscribers. By adding a diverse range of popular and classic content, Amazon aims to cater to a wide audience, from fans of nostalgic TV shows to those who enjoy timeless movies.
Benefits for Amazon Prime Members
For Amazon Prime members, this new addition means even more value for their subscription. Prime membership, which already includes benefits like free two-day shipping, access to Prime Music, and Prime Reading, will now offer an even richer selection of entertainment options. This move is likely to strengthen customer loyalty and attract new subscribers who are looking for a comprehensive entertainment package.
The inclusion of iconic TV shows such as “The X-Files” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” will appeal to fans of science fiction and supernatural genres, while comedies like “Arrested Development” and “Ally McBeal” will provide plenty of laughs. The addition of “The Wonder Years” is particularly noteworthy, as it brings a beloved coming-of-age series to a new generation of viewers.
On the movie front, the selection is equally impressive. Action enthusiasts can look forward to “Speed,” while family-friendly options like “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Doctor Dolittle” will be perfect for movie nights. Historical dramas such as “Last of the Mohicans” and classic films like “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” ensure there is something for everyone.
This partnership also highlights Amazon’s commitment to competing with other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. By continuously expanding its library and offering exclusive content, Amazon is positioning itself as a formidable player in the streaming market.
The collaboration between Amazon and 20th Century Fox is a win-win for both companies and consumers. Amazon Prime members will enjoy an enriched viewing experience with a vast array of new content, while Amazon strengthens its market position and Fox reaches a broader audience. This development is a testament to the evolving landscape of digital entertainment, where content accessibility and variety are key to winning consumer loyalty.
