BritBox to launch on Amazon Prime Video channels

London, 8th March 2021: BritBox UK and Amazon Prime Video today announced that BritBox, which gives subscribers access to the best of British creativity, will join Prime Video Channels and be available to Prime members in the UK with an add-on subscription in spring 2021. BritBox UK will now be easily accessible on over 40 million devices, which represents approximately 90% of video-on-demand homes*.

Prime Video Channels allow Prime members to add-on channel subscriptions through Prime Video for a low monthly fee, available individually without the need to sign up for a bundle or contract.

BritBox UK offers subscribers the biggest collection of British box sets** starring the finest home-grown talent and series, including Broadchurch, Downton Abbey, Vera, Only Fools and Horses, and Love Island, and original exclusive content including Spitting Image, which will return for a second season later this year.

Will Harrison, BritBox UK’s Managing Director, said: “We are excited to bring the very best British entertainment to an even wider audience through Amazon Prime Video Channels, especially as we launch even more original content in the spring, summer, and beyond.”

“It’s great that we’re going to be offering UK Prime members access to the biggest British box sets with the addition of BritBox on Prime Video Channels,” said Julian Monaghan, Director of Amazon Prime Video Channels Europe. “BritBox is a great addition to our selection of entertainment on Prime Video Channels, giving customers even more choice to find the TV series they love.”

BritBox UK will be available to Prime members this spring, for an additional monthly fee, via the Prime Video app to watch anytime, anywhere on smart TVs, mobile devices, and game consoles, or at Amazon.co.uk/channels . Prime members who sign up for an add-on subscription of BritBox will be able to access a collection of box sets with the convenience of a single account, login, and user experience through Prime Video, so there’s no need to jump from app to app. BritBox joins Prime Video Channels’ line-up of over 70 channels in the UK including live and on-demand entertainment and sports that are available as individual subscriptions, with no need to sign up to a bundle and anytime cancellation.
