Amazon Prime Video 2026 updates and channel shutdown
Overview
Amazon’s €8.99‑per‑month Prime subscription in Germany remains unchanged, featuring student discounts and family‑share options. Following a period of content expansion in July, the service underwent a structural change on 1 August 2026, when the linear Prime TV channel was discontinued and migrated to the on‑demand platform.
In August 2026, Prime Video expanded its anime catalogue and released several films, including ‘The Brutalist’ and ‘Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter’. The lineup also included sports content such as ‘WNBA on Prime’.
September 2026 programming continues to expand across various regions. In Brazil, the platform saw the film ‘Atraídos Pelo Destino’ reach the number one spot; a sequel based on ‘Ébano’ is confirmed for 2027. Globally, the September lineup included the return of ‘The Grand Tour’, Christopher Nolan’s films, and the ‘Chainsaw Man: Reze-hen’ movie on 19 September. Sports programming featured MLB, ‘Prime Video Boxing 16’, and ‘Thursday Night Football on Prime’.
For October 2026, Prime Video announced a lineup featuring the James Bond collection, the ‘John Wick’ franchise, and four ‘Indiana Jones’ films. Original programming includes an eight-episode ‘Carrie’ miniseries led by Mike Flanagan, ‘Apocalypse Z 2’, and the second season of ‘The Terminal List’. On 16 October, the platform will globally release ‘Friends Sex and Games’, an adaptation of a Mexican production involving a ‘key game’.
New releases for the week of 12–18 October include the romantic drama ‘Love of Your Life’, the heist film ‘Masterplan’ starring Stanley Tucci, and ‘Scream 7’. Sports coverage continues with Thursday Night Football and NWSL broadcasts, alongside the scheduled return of the NBA via Friday night doubleheaders starting 23 October.
