Amazon is discontinuing its standalone free streaming TV service next month as it looks to consolidate its content offerings under Prime Video.

The service, called Freevee, launched in 2019 underneath IMDb, the film and TV site Amazon bought in 1998. It offered a stable of free, ad-supported video, including original series and some Prime Video content, primarily through an app.

The Freevee app will shut down in August, at which point users will be able to watch shows and movies on Prime Video for free without a subscription to Amazon’s Prime loyalty program, according to a notice to users.

“Prime Video is the new exclusive home for Freevee TV shows, movies and Live TV,” the notice states.
