Amazon Prime customers receive huge TV boost with over 1,300 new shows and films – but there’s a catch

AMAZON Prime customers are about to receive more than 24,000 hours of new content - but it won't all be free.

The platform has paired up with Crunchyroll, the world's largest streaming library of anime, to bring over 1,300 new shows and films to Prime.

• Mega Fan package - $9.99 (£5.99) per month (which gives viewers the ability to download titles, and watch on four devices simultaneously)

The offer is set to become available to more countries throughout 2024.

It's important to note that the price of the Crunchroll package will be paid in addition to the Prime subscription charge.

However, it means viewers can use Prime as a one-stop-shop for their streaming desires - putting Amazon's site on par with Netflix's anime offering.

For those who don't want to stump up the cash, Crunchyroll's website has a free ad-supported streaming option.
