- Amazon aims to introduce some first -class video exhibitions to new audience
- Magtringe and Citadel Could air on terrestrial channels outside the US
- The aforementioned couple are two of the most expensive Amazon TV -Originals ever made
Two of the most expensive collected Amazon TV shows ever created could be available to look at platforms other than prime video.
According to Amazon MGM Studios Distribution Chief Chris Ottinger (as quoted by Variety), viewers may soon see some of the studio’s first-party TV titles on another service.
Actually as programs like Magtringe and Citadelwhich is believed to be among the most expensive first-class video projects, can make their way to terrestrial channels in non-American territories.
Per Variety’s report is already dealing with Amazon the aforementioned duo around. In fact, the distribution arm is already said to be in conversations with British TV stations such as BBC and ITV, German networks RTL and ZDF and Italy’s media set.
If any of the above parties decide to radiate Citadel And Amazon’s Lord of the Rings Prequel series in people’s homes in their respective nations, but they don’t come cheap.
Talking about Magtringe Specifically, Ottinger Variety told: “We want Premium prices because it’s a premium product.
“Season 1 was the biggest TV series premiere in Prime Video’s history, and Season 2 was the most watched recurring season ever on Prime Video at the time. In the end, it depends on the partner and where they plan to place it. If anyone wants it until Thursday at 20-a primary slot expecting, I top dollar.”
It is unclear how much money prime video seeks to syndicate a fancy industry term for the distribution of movies and show-that first-party titles.
Nevertheless, Ottinger is convinced that this is the right strategy for Amazon to take. It is based on the success that its streaming rivals, such as Netflix, have enjoyed, including the significant unevenness of viewing and subscribers that Netflix secured by licensing Meghan Markle star Suits By 2023. With that in mind, it is an approach that Prime Video hopes to replicate by offering his film and TV originals to others.
“We put premium library titles on the market to test their performance on Prime Video while also broadcasting on third-party platforms,” Ottinger added.
“One of the goals was to see if they would take advantage of a Netflix style boost or whether they would end up cannibalizing our own viewing. The effect we saw was neutral to positive for first-class video.”
Will Amazon go shopping around cheaper movies and TV series in the future too? It is kidding to see. The company’s entertainment department has plans to offer two other shows – Countdown and Butterfly -To third -party channels. However, they will only be available after an 18-month exclusivity period on Prime Video.
No one knows how expensive this pair should make, so it’s hard to distinguish if Amazon needs to earn his money back on these two as it does with Magtringe and Citadel.
Magtringe Season 3 is currently under development and when it first debuts on one of the world’s best streaming services, it will be over halfway through its five-season. As long as one of the best prime video shows is not canceled before the time.
Meanwhile the future of Prime Videos is spy-thriller franchise Citadel is less secure. In April, Amazon canceled other rates of Citadel‘s two spin-offs. And while the work is in the main series’ second excursion, Amazon’s acquisition of James Bond franchise in February could have unofficially sounded the death knit for the Russo Brothers-produced Prime Video Original.
