What’s Streaming on Amazon Freevee in May 2022, Including ‘Bosch: Legacy,’ ‘Troppo’

Formerly known as IMDb TV, the newly rebranded Freevee is bringing original shows and popular movies to fans this month. Highlighting the free streamer’s offerings is “Bosch: Legacy,” premiering on May 6.

The show is a spinoff of Prime Video’s long-running “Bosch,” which ended last summer. Amazon is Freevee’s parent company. In the new series, former LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) teams up with his one-time enemy, civil-rights attorney Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers).

A second original series coming to Freevee in May is “Troppo,” which centers on an ex-cop forced to hide in the Australian tropics because he is accused of a crime he did not commit.

Also up is the entertaining magic movie “Now You See Me,” starring Jesse Eisenberg and Lizzy Caplan. The heist film is about an Interpol detective trying to catch a team of illusionists who manage to pull off seemingly impossible robberies during their dazzling performances.

Freevee

Freevee video streaming service was Amazon’s free, ad-supported streaming service offering a mix of movies, TV shows, live FAST channels, and original programming. Originally launched as IMDb TV before rebranding to Amazon Freevee in 2022, the service featured licensed library content alongside exclusives such as “Jury Duty,” “Bosch: Legacy,” and “Judy Justice.” Its lineup spanned drama, comedy, reality, true crime, and family programming, along with curated live channels covering news, sports highlights, and classic TV.

…

In 2024, Amazon began phasing out the Freevee brand and integrating its content directly into Prime Video. Rather than operating as a standalone app, Freevee’s free, ad-supported programming is now available within the Prime Video platform under dedicated free sections. Viewers do not need a Prime membership to access this content, though ads are included. The service shut down fully in September 2025.

Freevee programming can be streamed on smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, gaming consoles, mobile devices, and web browsers through the Prime Video app. With its transition to Prime Video, the service’s free library continues to offer a wide range of on-demand and live streaming options for viewers looking to watch without a subscription.

With its blend of recognizable library titles, original series, and live channels, Freevee helped establish Amazon as a major player in the FAST space before being folded into the broader Prime Video experience.
