Amazon to offer AMC+ and Acorn TV on Prime Video Channels in India

Amazon Prime Video has partnered with AMC Networks, a global media entertainment company, to launch AMC+ and Acorn TV on Prime Video Channels in India.

AMC+ is a premium subscription service with scripted dramas, fan-favourite franchises, and a wide range of ad-free exclusive series and films from the US and around the world.

As part of the AMC+ subscription, Prime members can also get full access to Acorn TV, offering ad-free dramas and mysteries from Britain and beyond.

The original programming will be available subtitled in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Prime members will get a 50% limited-period introductory offer to lock in one year of AMC+ subscription at Rs 349 for content from both, AMC+ and Acorn TV.

Post the introductory offer, the subscription will be available for Rs 699 annually.

Prime members can also purchase an add-on subscription to Acorn TV only at an introductory annual price of Rs 249, which will later be revised to Rs 499.

“Since launch last year, Prime Video Channels has expanded the choice of English and international content available to customers further by giving them access to a wide range of exclusive, high-quality programming from multiple streaming services,” said Chaitanya Divan, head of Prime Video Channels & Sports, Amazon Prime Video India. “We are delighted to partner with AMC Networks and offer our viewers an even wider selection of popular and blockbuster English content.”

Courtney Thomasma, General Manager, AMC+, added, “AMC+ offers viewers thousands of hours of celebrated and award-winning series, including our critically-acclaimed dramas from ‘The Son’ to ‘61st Street’ as well as the next generation of fan-driven franchises including ‘The Walking Dead Universe’ and Anne Rice’s ‘Interview with the Vampire’. With our upcoming slate of AMC+ Originals like Dark Winds and Moonhaven along with access to Acorn TV’s beloved international mysteries and dramas, AMC+ combines thought-provoking stories and iconic characters in one subscription.”

With Prime Video Channels, customers do not have to juggle between multiple usernames, passwords and billing due dates as all premium content subscriptions are managed within a single destination.

At present 12 OTT services, including hayu, discovery+, Lionsgate Play, Eros Now, Docubay, MUBI, hoichoi, Manorama Max, Shorts TV and Nammaflix are available on Prime Video Channels.
