This Is Why You Can’t Watch Those HBO Shows on Amazon Prime Anymore

WHERE TO STREAM: THE SOPRANOS

HBO GO HBO NOW MORE OPTIONS Powered by Reelgood MORE ON: PRIME VIDEO

'Ready or Not' on HBO: Time to Stop Sleeping on the Best Horror-Comedy of 2019 Study Finds Netflix Has Least Technical Problems of Any Streaming Service Stream It Or Skip It: 'Homecoming' Season 2 On Amazon Prime Video, Where Janelle Monáe Gets Subjected To Geist's Memory Shenanigans Stream It Or Skip It: 'Military Wives' on Hulu, a Feelgood Comedy About a Choir That Hits All the Familiar Notes If you’re trying to watch your favorite HBO classics on Amazon Prime Video, you’re going to be disappointed. It seems May 20 was the last day Amazon Prime Video subscribers could watch select HBO series like True Blood, Entourage, and Sex and the City for free. That means The Sopranos is no longer on Prime Video, Curb Your Enthusiasm is gone from Prime Video, and Veep is also gone, potentially for good.

In 2014, HBO began a partnership with Prime Video to license key titles for Amazon’s growing streaming library. As of 2015, Prime subscribers could stream and download all of The Sopranos, The Wire, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Sex and the City. Last November, a Reddit thread reported that HBO was gearing up to take these titles off of Prime Video but that Amazon had negotiated for a six month extension on the deal. However, as of May 21, HBO had pulled all seasons of The Sopranos, Entourage, The Wire, True Blood, Veep, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Sex and the City from the Prime Video library.

According to a spokesperson from HBO, “those licensed shows are now available exclusively on the HBO service. Prime users can still watch them by subscribing to HBO via Prime Channels. They’ll continue to be available on HBO GO/NOW and will also be available on HBO Max as part of the HBO service.”

HBO is launching HBOMax, so they want all their content on their platform.

Was that so hard OP?

There is nothing wrong at all with Warner Bros. putting all of their media on HBO Now. So what?

Disney did it. What is your problem with WB doing it?

Looking forward to HBO NOW!!!!!!!!!
