Amazon to roll out free movie streaming service across Europe

Amazon-owned IMDb TV will launch in Europe later this year, bringing movies and TV shows to customers for free.

IMDb TV, a free streaming video channel formerly known as IMDb Freedive, also said it is tripling its content selection, bringing thousands of new titles to the ad-supported service in the coming months.

Through new deals with studios like Warner Bros., Sony Pictures Entertainment and MGM Studios, it will add movies such as Captain Fantastic and La La Land.

“With IMDb TV, viewers have discovered TV the way it ought to be – a free collection of premium TV shows and movies available anytime,” said Mark Eamer, Vice President of IMDb TV.

“We deliver a top quality discovery experience that makes it easy to be entertained. With more titles than ever before coming to IMDb TV and our upcoming European expansion later this year, we’re excited for customers to tune in and enjoy all that IMDb TV has to offer, all at no cost.”

In addition to being available in the US on the IMDb website and as a free channel within the Prime Video app across hundreds of devices, IMDb TV is available on Fire TV.

“Our Fire TV customers are always looking for compelling content at a great value. In fact, usage of free, ad-supported apps has increased by over 300% in the last year,” said Marc Whitten, Vice President of Fire TV.

“IMDb TV brings some of the best free content into the living room and we’re excited that our U.S. customers now have access to even more free TV shows and movies through the app and that customers in Europe can soon enjoy this great service on the biggest screen in their home.”
