Amazon.com said on Friday Prime Video shows and movies will include limited advertisements from early 2024.
The US tech giant said the advertisements will be introduced in the United States, the UK, Germany and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Australia later in the year.
Amazon will roll out an ad-free subscription tier for an additional $2.99 per month for US Prime members. Prime subscription in the US costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year.
Live event content such as sports will continue to include advertising even if the subscriber has paid for the ad-free plan, Amazon said.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Advisor Turki bin Abdulmohsen Al Al-Sheikh inaugurated on Monday AlHisn Big Time Studios, west of Riyadh, the largest and most modern studios for film and television production in the Middle East. The studios will help boost film and television production in the region.

AlHisn Big Time Studios, built in just 120 days, feature seven studio buildings covering an area of 10,500 square meters; the total project area measures 300,000 square meters. It also features a production village, with carpentry and metalworking workshops, as well as costume design facilities.

Additional amenities include luxurious suites for VIPs, offices for film production, and fully equipped editing rooms, all creating an ideal work environment that helps increase production efficiency.

The studios aim to streamline and accelerate production processes by concentrating the needs of film and television production in one location, saving time, effort, and costs, while supporting the production sector in the region on par with global standards.

The facility will provide a strategic opportunity for the financial and banking sector to support production companies. It will pave the way for a significant leap in film and television production at both local and regional levels.
