It’s an earthquake on the SVOD market: in a press release published on January 12, 2023, Amazon announced the recovery of HBO content (including that lost by OCS) and the distribution of The Last of Us on its own platform (from January 16). In reality, it’s much more than that: the multinational will offer a new paid Warner Pass, integrated into the Amazon Prime Video Channels.
In addition to the HBO catalog, the Warner Pass includes ” the 12 channels of Warner Bros. Discovery “. This enriched offer includes a whole host of programs designed for the widest possible audience, with films, series, sporting events, cartoons… For Amazon, the objective is to vary its catalog of entertainment, which has already recovered part of the rights of Ligue 1 in order to offer live football.
