Commercials in movies and series will be introduced in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Video viewers got their first taste of ads on the platform after Amazon landed exclusive rights to <em>Thursday Night Football<\/em> in a $13.2 billion, 11-year deal that began in 2022. The live football telecasts have been airing with commercial breaks, which will now expand to non-sports content.<\/p>\n<p>There are no details about how big the ad load will be, with Amazon saying that commercials will be &#8220;limited&#8221; and the goal is &#8220;to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vikings-Eagles.jpg\"><span>Ratings<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>&#039;Thursday Night Football&#039; Scores Record High For Prime Video In Season Debut<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peter-Oillataguerre-courtesy-subject-e1694808418207.jpg\"><span>Breaking News<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Amazon MGM Studios Names Spyglass&#039;s Peter Oillataguerre Head of Feature Film Production<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n<p>In addition to free shipping and other benefits, for their monthly fee &#8212; currently at $14.99  &#8212; Prime members have been able to watch Prime Video films and series ad-free. Those who want to continue to do so next year will have to pay an additional fee, set at $2.99 per month in the U.S. The rest will watch shows and movies that feature ads, with their monthly Prime membership remaining unchanged. <\/p>\n<p>According to Amazon, adding ads will allow the company to continue investing in content and  increasing that investment over time.<\/p>\n<p>Once frowned upon by streamers, a dual subscription-ad model &#8212; and the dual revenue stream that comes with it &#8212; has become the norm. With Amazon Prime adopting ads across its entire content portfolio on the heels of Netflix and Disney+ introducing ad tiers, Apple TV+ remains the only major streaming platform to employ a pure subscription model. <\/p>\n<p>This marks the next step in Amazon&#8217;s advertising ambitions. The company has spent the past several years mounting a major ad offensive, through both live sports as well as ad-supported sibling Prime Video platforms such as Freevee and Twitch. While the $38 billion that Amazon took in from advertising last year is a small share of its $502 billion in total annual revenue, it is growing at a more than 20% quarterly clip.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Video originals include series <em>The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Boys, Tom Clancy&rsquo;s Jack Ryan, Citadel, The Wheel of Time, Reacher,<\/em> and <em>The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em>, as well as movies <em>Air, Creed III, Dungeons &amp; Dragons,<\/em> and the upcoming <em>Candy Cane Lane <\/em>with Eddie Murphy.<\/p>\n<h2>Must Read Stories<\/h2>\n<h3>Leavesden To Become DC Studios Production Epicenter By 2027<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WBSL.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Streaming Residuals Explained: \u2018Suits\u2019 Netflix Success Highlights One Of Biggest Issues<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/suits-netflix.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Still Looking To Exert Political &#038; Media Influence After Retiring As Fox Chairman<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rupert-murdoch.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Paramount Pictures EVP Ashley Brucks Circling Top Job At Screen Gems<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ashley-Brucks.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>Read More About:<\/h2>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/09\/amazon-ads-prime-video-series-movies-ad-free-tier-1235552984\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ads are coming to Prime Video&#8217;s entertainment content.
