One of the benefits of having an Amazon Prime Video subscription is that, not only can you watch everything available on Prime Video, you can also manage many of your other subscriptions through the platform. There have long been some major holdouts from that deal, though, and one of them is now allowing customers to subscribe through Prime Video.

Apple TV+ will be joining Prime Video’s lineup of channel extensions, which also includes Max, Paramount+, AMC+, Shudder, and more. Adding the channel to Prime Video will still cost $9.99/mo., but it will allow you to watch Apple TV+ content without leaving the Prime Video app.

The announcement about the new deal was made by Prime Video head Mike Hopkins, who said he was thrilled that the deal had come to fruition.

“Our companies do a lot of business together, and want to thank Eddie Cue, who I know isn’t here tonight, but he and his team have done a great job with this deal, and we’re excited to get it going,” he said during a presentation at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference.

Eddoe Cue, Vice President of Services at Apple, also published his own statement about the news.

“We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and films from the world’s greatest storytellers available to as many viewers as possible. We’re thrilled that Prime Video will now offer Apple TV+, giving viewers an incredible breadth of viewing options.”

This new partnership means that you can watch Slow Horses and The Boys on the same app. Truly, the possibilities are endless.

The best horror TV shows that you can stream now

Horror on TV has not always been a given. Although there are some examples of older horror TV shows, the modern glut of the genre is a pretty recent phenomenon. If you're looking to pull out the very best shows in this genre from every streaming service, then we've got you covered.

These shows have been, for me, sometimes strangely comforting. There's something nice about looking the most terrifying things in the face, and realizing that your life is not nearly as bad as what the characters in these stories go through. While these shows aren't often honored with awards, they have become some of the most critically acclaimed series of the past 15 years.

How Breaking Bad transformed the TV landscape for good
Almost two decades after its premiere, Vince Gilligan's crime drama towers over all others
Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad season 5

I watched Breaking Bad for the first time in January 2021. It might sound weird to remember the exact month you started watching a show, but I think it means that Vince Gilligan's master creation is just that memorable. This was about eight years after the show completed its original run on AMC. After hearing its greatness regurgitated by every media outlet and superfan ad nauseam for a decade, it's safe to say there was a mountain of expectations and a certain amount of respect I gave the series right from the jump.

Everything I had been told about Breaking Bad still didn't paint the complete picture of the viewing experience I fell in love with. Watching Walter White transform from your regular, superordinary chemistry teacher into the vile and egotistical mess he finishes as in season 5 is TV's ultimate roller coaster. Just as Walter tells his wife in the series finale when asked why he indulged in his Heisenberg alter ego, the series' 62 episodes made me feel alive.

May’s top picks: What to stream on Apple TV+
Apple TV+ has an impressive library that includes great movies and shows

When computer company Apple announced that it was getting into the streaming TV game, there were plenty of people who were skeptical about the company's ability to pull it off. Why would the tech giant, which is most known for the Macintosh and the iPhone, have any credibility in making television shows? It doesn't seem the two ideas would mesh in any meaningful way, but in the years since Apple TV Plus launched, the company has come up with some pretty impressive original shows, and it picked up a Best Picture Oscar on top of that.
What's even more impressive is that these Apple TV+ shows and movies run the gamut from comedy to drama, and they are all set in wildly different and imaginative places. Any loyal Apple customer, and I am definitely one, will tell you that they buy their stuff because it's simply better than the alternative. As it turns out, the same thing is true for the streaming service.
