Amazon's Freevee will vanish from your Fire TV Stick, Roku, and dozens of other devices next month. Amazon first announced plans to .

However, it didn't confirm the exact time that it would phase out Freevee.

It's now confirmed that will be the final date that Freevee is available in the UK. Starting from September 1, you'll no longer be able to stream television shows, films, and documentaries from the streamer.

Opening the Freevee app on iPhone, iPad, Android or Smart TV will load up a warning about the upcoming closure of the free streamer

Amazon confirmed the timing in a notice that pops up when launching the Freevee app on your smartphone, tablet, or Smart TV. It reads: "Prime Video is the new exclusive home for Freevee TV shows, movies and Live TV.

"The Freevee app will be accessible until August 2025. Continue watching your favorite Free Originals and our library of hit movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video for free, no subscription needed. Download Prime Video to get started and sign-in with your Amazon account."

Freevee, which offered free access to 3,000 movies and 450 shows at its peak, had several hits, including the documentary-style comedy series Jury Duty, rebooted series of much-loved soap Neighbours, and police procedural Bosch: Legacy based on the books by Michael Connelly. It also offered free access to original series developed for Amazon's other (and better known) streaming service, Prime Video, for anyone willing to put-up with ad breaks in shows like Reacher and The Wheel of Time.

Freevee was launched to rival the growing number of popular free ad-supported streaming television — or FAST — services, like , The Roku Channel, and , to name a few.

But with — despite some , means the line between Freevee and Amazon's paid-for streamer is increasingly blurred. The decision to shutdown Freevee is also likely part of a wider move to simplify Amazon's offerings and centralise all of its content into a single app.

Start streaming everything in the Prime Video catalogue for 30 days with a free trial. and you won't be charged to watch exclusive series like Clarkson's Farm, The Grand Tour, The Rings Of Power, and Vikings, blockbuster films like Saltburn, Sound of Metal, Minority Report, and every entry in the James Bond series. Prime Video also has exclusive rights to UEFA Champions League matches, WWE, and more

The shutdown only impacts viewers in the UK, United States, Germany, and Austria, where Freevee has been available as a standalone service. Amazon says the decision to shutter the streamer is designed to create a simpler viewing experience for its customers.

For those still watching Jury Duty, Neighbours, or Bosch: Legacy ...there's no need to panic. The catalogue of shows and films that were included with Freevee will not be going away, even though the service itself will vanish.

Instead, all Freevee content will be integrated into Prime Video. Amazon confirmed that non-Prime members will still be able to access the same content, which will be clearly labelled as "Watch for Free" on the Prime Video platform. This wil offer an identical ad-supported experience to Freevee, albeit within the Prime Video app.

Jury Duty was the breakout hit for Freevee. The critically-lauded show reveals the inner workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of juror Ronald Gladden, who doesn't realise that everybody in the Amazon-produced docu-series is an actor — except him

Like Freevee, Prime Video is available on a wide range of popular platforms, including Smart TVs from the likes of Samsung, Hisense, LG, and Sony, streaming set-top boxes like Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV Stick, Google Chromecast, PlayStation and Xbox games consoles, iPhone and iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, and of course, any desktop web browser on Windows or macOS. The app is a free download.

Signing into the app with an Amazon account with a valid Prime subscription will unlock everything in the catalogue, while those without a subscription will be limited to the free ad-supported content that used to be limited to the Freevee app.

Freevee originally launched in January 2019 as IMDb Freedive with critically-acclaimed shows like Heroes and movies like Memento. It was hastily rebranded as IMDb TV later that same year. The service underwent its final name change to Freevee in 2022, establishing itself as Amazon's dedicated ad-supported streaming platform.

Freevee shows and films will still be available to watch for free to non-Prime members within the Prime Video app... but Amazon will no longer support a standalone streaming service in the UK

Those willing to endure adverts to stream for free could watch shows via Freevee, could stream exclusive shows and films via Prime Video.

Earlier this year, , with subscribers now to avoid advertisements — a decision that sparked such fury . The introduction of adverts muddies the waters between Freevee and Prime Video, something that likely fed into the decision by executives at the Seattle-based retailer to combine its streamers.

Speaking exclusively when the decision to sunset Freevee first came to light last year, a spokesperson for Amazon confirmed: "We have built Prime Video into a first-stop entertainment destination where customers can personalize their viewing experience by streaming exclusive Prime member entertainment produced by Amazon MGM Studios, licensed movies and series, content from other services as an add-on subscription, live sports, blockbuster movies and series to rent or buy, FAST Channels and the complete Amazon Freevee content offering.

"To deliver a simpler viewing experience for customers, we have decided to phase out Freevee branding. There will be no change to the content available for Prime members, and a vast offering of free streaming content will still be accessible for non-Prime members, including select Originals from Amazon MGM Studios, a variety of licensed movies and series, and a broad library of FAST Channels – all available on Prime Video."

Amazon has stated that no redundancies are expected as a result of the shake-up to its streaming division, with the relevant teams having already been incorporated into Prime Video. The service's content team had already been integrated into Amazon MGM Studios as part of a previous restructuring effort.
