What is Freevee? Amazon's free streaming service explained
Freevee is Amazon's free, ad-supported streaming service – here's what you need to know about it including UK price, shows and how to watch it.
Freevee is Amazon's free streaming service and has hundreds of films and series ready to watch at the click of a button. Freevee, like other Advertising Video On Demand (AVOD) services, shows adverts to viewers to generate money, rather than asking viewers to pay for the content they’re watching.
They also claim to show around half the amount of ads as a traditional TV show, which isn’t bad at all. Last year, Freevee became the talk of the town after it was announced the streaming giant had saved the iconic Australian soap Neighbours.
The series ended in July 2022 after 37 years, but last month it returned exclusively for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. If you're not a fan of Neighbours then that's not to worry, Freevee has thousands of TV series and films available to watch right now.
From blockbuster movies such as Whiplash and The Big Lebowski to hit series like Hell's Kitchen and Jury Duty. Like with all services, you want to know if it’s worth your time before you try it out, so we’re here to tell you what exactly Freevee is and if it's worth signing up for.
For those with an Amazon Prime Video membership, you don't actually need to sign up as the app comes as standard. If you already have an Amazon Prime Video account, fab! If not, sign up for your free 30-day trial or check out how much Amazon Prime Video costs in our guide.

Plus, Freevee produces its own original content, aptly named Freevee Originals. These originals include the spy thriller series Alex Rider and the crime programme Bosch.
Unlike some free ad-supported video-on-demand services, Freevee lets you watch the entire catalogue of available TV shows. Peacock, for example, is an AVOD service that offers shows like The Office and The Good Place, however, you can’t watch every episode. You don’t have that problem with Freevee; you can binge-watch the entire six seasons of Dawson's Creek if you want to!
With Freevee, you won't get the same extensive catalogue in comparison to if you paid for a subscription service. But that’s to be expected, it’s free.
