Amazon announced today that its free streaming service, IMDb TV, is rebranding to become Amazon Freevee on April 27.
The streaming service has tripled its monthly active users over the past two years by becoming available on more devices, introducing original content, and rotating its library of movies and TV shows. Following a successful launch in the UK last September, Freevee will continue its international expansion with a launch in Germany later this year.
To continue the momentum, Freevee will grow its slate of Originals by 70% this year. Upcoming titles including Bosch: Legacy, premiering May 6; a new home-design series, Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis; Greg Garcia’s comedy series Sprung; the Australian crime drama Troppo; and High School, a scripted series based on the New York Times best-selling memoir by Tegan and Sara Quin. Freevee will also introduce new original movies, starting with Love Accidentally, starring Brenda Song and Aaron O’Connell.
