The bundle includes specific programming such as Starz’s Outlander and P-Valley, AMC+’s The Walking Dead franchise and Anne Rice adaptations, BritBox’s Blue Lights and Agatha Christie’s Tommy & Tuppence, MGM+’s From, and PBS Masterpiece’s All Creatures Great and Small.

The pricing comparison is underscored by recent individual subscription increases: AMC+ and Starz had each risen to $11.99 per month for standard plans, while MGM+ was listed at $6.99 per month—meaning those three services alone totaled $29.97 monthly.
Prime Video launched its first five-service streaming bundle on September 15, charging $29.99 per month for AMC+, Starz, MGM+, PBS Masterpiece, and BritBox combined. Nerdist reports the package delivers nearly 39% savings versus paying for each service separately, addressing recent price hikes across the industry.
The bundle bundles scripted dramas, British programming, documentaries, and films—including hits like The Walking Dead, Outlander, and Anne Rice adaptations. CNET notes this marks the first time these five streamers have packaged together, signaling Amazon's push to consolidate the fragmented streaming marketplace.
Why $29.99 Beats Paying Separately
The math is sharp: AMC+ and Starz each cost $11.99 monthly for standard plans, while MGM+ runs $6.99. Those three alone total $29.97—nearly the entire bundle price. Mandatory highlights the 39% discount, making the five-service package an obvious financial play for viewers juggling multiple subscriptions.
A Library Spanning Crime, Fantasy, and British Classics
Subscribers gain access to Starz's Outlander and P-Valley, AMC+'s The Walking Dead franchise and Anne Rice universe, BritBox's Blue Lights and Agatha Christie's Tommy & Tuppence, MGM+'s From, and PBS Masterpiece's All Creatures Great and Small. Yahoo describes the mix as targeting multiple audiences—from historical drama fans to crime thriller seekers.
Amazon's Strategy to Own the Streaming Middleman
Ryan Pirozzi, head of Prime Video Channels U.S., told outlets the subscriptions business is seeing "incredible growth" by focusing on "selection, value and convenience." Coming Soon reports Starz Networks President Alison Hoffman called the bundle a way to reach broader audiences. Amazon is essentially positioning itself as a one-stop checkout for streaming—letting users stay on Prime Video instead of juggling apps.
A Shift From Two- and Three-Service Bundles
Prior Prime Video bundles typically paired just two services, or occasionally three. This five-service offering marks a major escalation. Nerdist suggests the move reflects Amazon's confidence in the bundle model and willingness to negotiate deeper revenue-sharing deals with premium content partners to undercut individual pricing.
