Amazon’s Prime Video is about to get a lot more Lionsgate films as part of a multi-year deal that will put the studio’s entire 2026 slate of films on the service. Under the agreement, Prime Video will exclusively stream Lionsgate’s upcoming films in the US after they first appear on Starz. The lineup includes titles like Now You See Me 3 and The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.

 

Prime Video doesn’t say how long this exclusivity window will last, but the deal will expand the number of high-profile movies on the service, joining the swath of films it added following Amazon’s acquisition of MGM. Netflix has a similar deal in place that brings Sony films exclusively to the platform.

 

Along with these new films, Prime Video will also be able to license certain “premium” titles from Lionsgate’s broader catalog, such as John Wick, Twilight, Divergent, Weeds, and Nurse Jackie, starting next year. Prime Video will also get some of the films from Liongate’s 2025 lineup, but there’s no word on which ones it will include, like the John Wick spinoff Ballerina or Saw XI.
