Amazon’s $29.99 Streaming Bundle: What’s Included and Who It’s For

The U.S. package brings AMC+, BritBox, MGM+, PBS Masterpiece and Starz together for $29.99 a month. Its advertised saving is based on buying all five separately, so the value depends on what you actually watch.

Amazon’s five-service streaming bundle puts AMC+, BritBox, MGM+, PBS Masterpiece and Starz together on Prime Video for $29.99 a month. For viewers interested in several of the services at once, it offers a single viewing destination and bill, along with a discount against buying all five separately.

The package launched in the United States on September 15, 2026, and remained available in November. Amazon describes it as Prime Video’s first bundle combining five services.

The saving depends on the comparison. Amazon says the bundle costs nearly 39% less than subscribing to all five services individually. That does not necessarily make it cheaper than a household’s current streaming bill if it uses only one or two of them.

What’s included and how to subscribe

The package leans towards scripted entertainment, spanning British dramas, horror, films and established TV franchises. Among the programming available across the five services are:

  • AMC+: Shows from The Walking Dead universe and Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire franchise.
  • BritBox: British programming including Ludwig and Blue Lights.
  • MGM+: Films and original series, including the horror show FROM.
  • PBS Masterpiece: British dramas including All Creatures Great and Small and The Forsytes.
  • Starz: Outlander and shows in the Power universe.

Variety reported in November that the package includes AMC+ Premium and BritBox Standard and comes with a seven-day free trial. The publication said the monthly charge follows the trial and that subscribers can cancel at any time. It also reported that the offer could be found among the bundle options under Prime Video’s Subscriptions tab.

A paid Amazon Prime membership is not required for U.S. customers to subscribe, according to Seat42F, which cited Amazon’s subscription guide and bundle announcement. The bundle itself is a separate paid subscription, rather than a set of services automatically included with Prime.

The five services can be watched through Prime Video and share a single bill. For someone who follows shows across several of them, that means a common place to search and watch instead of treating each as a separate viewing destination.

Before signing up, check the terms displayed at checkout, particularly those covering the trial and cancellation, advertising and available subscription tiers.

How to judge the saving

Amazon’s nearly 39% comparison implies that the five services together would cost roughly $49 a month at the individual prices used for its calculation, or about $19 more than the bundle. Those are approximate figures based on Amazon’s rounded percentage, not a current price list for each service.

At $29.99 a month, the bundle would total $359.88 over 12 paid months. The relevant comparison is what a viewer would otherwise spend over that time, not the full individual price of five subscriptions they may never have planned to buy.

Someone interested mainly in Outlander, for example, should weigh the bundle charge against the cost of the service or services they would otherwise choose. By contrast, a viewer already following series on several of the included platforms may find the combined price and billing more useful.

The range of programming could also suit a household with different tastes: AMC+ and MGM+ offer horror, while BritBox and PBS Masterpiece bring British drama. The question is whether those additional libraries will be used enough to justify the monthly cost.

Amazon is not alone in packaging streaming services. Distributors including Comcast, Charter and DirecTV have offered combinations at different price points; Comcast expanded its StreamSaver package to six streamers. The five-service offer is a first for Prime Video, not for the wider market.

One participant’s financial results illustrate the importance of streaming to a premium TV business. In the three months ending September 30, Starz reported $226.6 million in streaming revenue and $95.8 million in linear and other revenue, following an April subscription price increase. Those figures do not establish how Amazon’s bundle is performing, but they put the distribution deal in the context of Starz’s broader streaming business.
