Amazon Freevee is to be shut down, with a gradual phasing out of the streaming service over the coming weeks. Most of its content will switch to Prime Video instead. Amazon has announced that it is ditching one of its popular streaming services soon.

Amazon’s free streaming service won’t be around for much longer — here’s why it’s getting shut down and where you'll be able to watch its original content in the future.

Amazon.com Inc. is closing Freevee, the free-to-watch, advertising-supported streaming service, folding it into the subscription-based Prime Video product, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
