Reply to comment by [deleted] in MGM+ Lands Damian Lewis & Guy Pearce Drama ‘A Spy Among Friends’ - The series revolves around the defection of a British intelligence officer and KGB double agent by Neo2199
Amazon closed its acquisition of MGM in March.

Yeah, MGM+, formerly known as Epix, should have been part of Prime, not a separate service. This comes off as double dipping.

They almost certainly can't just unilaterally throw everything that was previously on one service onto another; the only options are probably to either shut down the MGM+ service and not have stuff on it available at all for a while or to renegotiate a lot of contracts before merging them. (They may still make contracts for new things like this to help justify the service's existence in the meantime, but with provisions that would allow the content to be moved once all the renegotiations are done.)

To be fair Paramount do the same with multiple services and so do Disney. I’m sure Amazon will bin MGM+ as soon as the cable revenue drops to the point that it is no longer profitable. Which is likely not that far off.
