True Blood And More Added To Amazon Prime Instant Video

The first wave of HBO programming has been added to Amazon Prime's Instant Video streaming service. The first wave includes the first five season of HBO's hit vampire drama True Blood. Other shows added to the service include The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Rome, Six Feet Under, and more recent shows such as Eastbound & Down, Enlightened, and Flight of the Conchords. "We're thrilled to deliver this collection of groundbreaking, beloved content from HBO to Amazon Prime members for unlimited streaming at no additional cost," said Brad Beale, Director of Digital Video Content Acquisition for Amazon. "Given the number of customers who purchase these titles from Amazon, we know how much customers love these shows. We are excited to bring them to Prime members—we think they are going to love them, whether they are experiencing them for the first time or re-discovering them from the beginning." As part of HBO's exclusive licensing agreement with Amazon, more seasons of current series like True Blood will become available over time and the HBO GO app will be added to Amazon Fire TV later this year.
