It only lasted a month. That is, access to the 25-film James Bond movie library on Prime Video. It was early November, 2025, when we reported free streaming of the James Bond franchise for Prime members. Now, even members must pay to rent or purchase the titles.
It’s disappointing knowing Amazon could certainly keep the Bond franchise as a Prime Video benefit just as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Reacher, and The Boys are (understandably, those are original series).
But, offering the Bond titles once or twice a year for a limited time seems to be more of a tease than anything else. How can No Time To Die be free one day then $19.99 the next?
Amazon bought MGM Studios in 2023 and early this year gained creative control over the Bond franchise from long-serving producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
If you are tired of shows and movies leaving streaming services with no notice the answer is to purchase the titles you always want access to. The most assured way is by owning the discs.
Last summer, the Sean Connery 6-Film Collection was released by Warner Bros. Entertainment with all films presented in 4k with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio for the first time. And, the Daniel Craig 5-Film Collection contains all James Bond films starring Craig on 4k Blu-ray and Blu-ray.
We’re still waiting for news about a Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan 4k collection. And, will Bond films starring George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton get released on 4k Blu-ray?
Of course, James Bond titles are also available to purchase in digital formats including 4k UHD. However, those digital rights may only be valid while the platform exists.
