The latest offer from Amazon extends what Prime Video has to offer, centering on the Amazon Freevee app that features ad-supported streaming that is free and asks for no subscriptions from users. Now, the company leverages several Prime Video Original shows and flicks for Freevee, expanding more of what the no-cost streaming app offers.
As many as 100 Amazon Prime Video originals will arrive for Freevee for the whole year of 2023, with the initial rollout starting later this month to bring more content to the platform.

Amazon Freevee is set to receive some of Amazon Prime Video's most popular Original shows.
The first round of freebies from Prime Video would start this May 26, with customers getting a chance to stream the first three episodes of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" for free, exclusively on Freevee.
Freevee viewers will also be able to stream the entire first season of Amazon Original "Reacher," as well as the first season of "The Wheel of Time," before its second season premiere on Prime Video.
This move is a significant step for Amazon, as it seeks to expand the reach of its Prime Video Originals beyond its subscription-based platform. By making some of its most popular shows available for free on Amazon Freevee, the company is hoping to attract a wider audience and tap into the growing demand for free, ad-supported streaming content.

According to Amazon, more than 100 Prime Video Originals will be available on Freevee later this year, including popular shows from the company. The company promises that its ads will be limited, and would not be destructive of the customers' viewing experience.
The decision to make some of its Prime Video Originals available on Freevee is a reflection of the growing importance of free ad-supported (FAST) streaming platforms in the wider streaming landscape. With the rise of services like Pluto TV and Tubi, which offer free, ad-supported streaming content, there is increasing demand for high-quality programming that can be accessed without a subscription fee.
Freevee is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play, LG and Samsung TVs, Google TV, Roku, Android TV, Xbox consoles, PlayStation consoles, and more.
Amazon and its Streaming Features
Amazon is continuously improving its streaming platform's features, one which was marked by its UI change, in its hopes to catch up with its rivals Netflix, Disney+, and more.
Its content is also something to look out for, with titles like "The Expanse," highly-regarded as its best show on the platform, joining other titles like "Jack Ryan," "The Boys," "The Marvelous Ms. Maisel," and more.
While it remains to be seen how successful Freevee will be in attracting a wider audience, the inclusion of Prime Video Originals is likely to be a major draw for many viewers.
With more than 100 Originals set to be available on the platform later this year, Freevee viewers will have access to some of the best content from one of the world's leading streaming services.
