One of the benefits of having an Amazon Prime Video subscription is that, not only can you watch everything available on Prime Video, you can also manage many of your other subscriptions through the platform. There have long been some major holdouts from that deal, though, and one of them is now allowing customers to subscribe through Prime Video.

Apple TV+ will be joining Prime Video’s lineup of channel extensions, which also includes Max, Paramount+, AMC+, Shudder, and more. Adding the channel to Prime Video will still cost $9.99/mo., but it will allow you to watch Apple TV+ content without leaving the Prime Video app.

The announcement about the new deal was made by Prime Video head Mike Hopkins, who said he was thrilled that the deal had come to fruition.

“Our companies do a lot of business together, and want to thank Eddie Cue, who I know isn’t here tonight, but he and his team have done a great job with this deal, and we’re excited to get it going,” he said during a presentation at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference.

Eddoe Cue, Vice President of Services at Apple, also published his own statement about the news.

“We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and films from the world’s greatest storytellers available to as many viewers as possible. We’re thrilled that Prime Video will now offer Apple TV+, giving viewers an incredible breadth of viewing options.”

This new partnership means that you can watch Slow Horses and The Boys on the same app. Truly, the possibilities are endless.

Heads of State could be Prime Video’s wildest action movie yet
John Cena and Idris Elba in Heads of State

Amazon Prime Video has slowly but surely become one of the most expansive streaming services on the planet. With incredible original shows and classic hits from the past, you can count on Prime Video to provide a wide variety in its library. With the financial fortitude of Amazon backing the service, Prime Video also takes chances by making feature films starring big actors, and Amazon MGM is back again with its newest upcoming summer blockbuster, Heads of State.

Idris Elba and John Cena join forces as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the President of the United States, respectively. The powerful men have to put aside their petty differences and combine their leverage to save the world from an even bigger threat than they could have ever imagined. Does it sound corny? Of course. Is it still going to be a ton of fun on a hot July night to gather with friends and family and binge? Yes again! Here's everything we know about Heads of State, from the trailer to the full cast list.

Because it's still a relatively new streaming service, and because it didn't come into existence with a back catalog, Apple TV+'s library is thinner than most. Even so, the streamer has managed to build a subscriber base in part by investing heavily in quality shows, and specifically in quality shows with a sci-fi twist.

Severance is one of the best shows on television, and it seems like a guarantee that it will be heavily awarded at the next Emmy ceremony. Severance is one of my favorite shows, too, but it's far from the only sci-fi series on Apple. We've pulled together a list of the best shows available over there if you're looking for great science fiction:"

The Max original comedy deserves all of the love it's getting and more
Jean Smart in Hacks Season 3

When Hacks took home the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2024, it might have been the first time many TV fans had heard of this incredible little gem. Starring Jean Smart as a fiery, washed-up comic who never quite fulfilled her potential, she hires a mid-20s writer (played by Hannah Einbinder) who has nowhere else to turn after her career starts going haywire. Together, the ladies form an unbreakable bond that propels them to new heights both on a personal and professional level. The show's foundation is stellar, but the execution makes it the best comedy on TV right now.

Hacks differs from other comedy series airing in the 2020s because it has new school dynamics that complement old school heart and soul. The series is a love letter to laughs, love, and strong female leads who are messy and not afraid to show it. If you aren't watching Hacks during its fourth season, what are you waiting for? These are the four reasons Hacks is the best comedy series you can watch right now.
