One of the benefits of having an Amazon Prime Video subscription is that, not only can you watch everything available on Prime Video, you can also manage many of your other subscriptions through the platform. There have long been some major holdouts from that deal, though, and one of them is now allowing customers to subscribe through Prime Video.

Apple TV+ will be joining Prime Video’s lineup of channel extensions, which also includes Max, Paramount+, AMC+, Shudder, and more. Adding the channel to Prime Video will still cost $9.99/mo., but it will allow you to watch Apple TV+ content without leaving the Prime Video app.

The announcement about the new deal was made by Prime Video head Mike Hopkins, who said he was thrilled that the deal had come to fruition.

“Our companies do a lot of business together, and want to thank Eddie Cue, who I know isn’t here tonight, but he and his team have done a great job with this deal, and we’re excited to get it going,” he said during a presentation at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference.

Eddoe Cue, Vice President of Services at Apple, also published his own statement about the news.

“We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and films from the world’s greatest storytellers available to as many viewers as possible. We’re thrilled that Prime Video will now offer Apple TV+, giving viewers an incredible breadth of viewing options.”

This new partnership means that you can watch Slow Horses and The Boys on the same app. Truly, the possibilities are endless.

Apple has announced that the show will be coming for more, and Colin Farrell is set to return as Detective John Sugar, a movie-loving crime-solver who really wants to help people. Sugar made headlines during its first season for a twist that very few people saw coming, and now, season 2 will have to deal with the fallout of that big reveal.

The 1980s are filled with sci-fi franchises that have continued to spawn sequels and spin-offs to this day. Robocop is one such franchise that is defined by its first installment, and has thus far been confined entirely to the big screen. Now, though, a new Robocop series is coming to Amazon, and Variety is reporting that Peter Ocko will serve as the writer and showrunner of the series with James Wan as a producer.

The show's official logline reads: “A giant tech conglomerate collaborates with the local police department to introduce a technologically advanced enforcer to combat rising crime — a police officer who’s part man, part machine.”
