In the UK, Amazon Prime and non-Prime users will be able to access IMDb TV through the “IMDb TV – popular movies and TV – free with ads” carousel within the Prime Video app. In addition, the free streaming platform will also be available via a standalone app on Fire TV in the coming weeks.

Commenting on the launch, IMDb TV’s co-heads of content and programming, Lauren Anderson and Ryan Pirozzi, said: “IMDb TV has created a free-to-consumer destination by combining a hybrid of exclusive Originals from Amazon Studios and highly sought-after movies and television. Today’s UK launch marks a major step in our mission to offer customers widely appealing content and globally relevant storytelling, through a personalised, free streaming experience.”
