A new agreement between Amazon and Netflix has led to a notable streaming development for fans of the iconic James Bond franchise. As part of this unexpected collaboration, several James Bond films will debut on Netflix.
James Bond Films Set to Stream on Netflix
Beginning January 15, viewers can watch the following James Bond titles:
- Die Another Day
- No Time to Die
- Quantum of Solace
- Skyfall
These films will be accessible in various regions including the U.S., Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Benelux, Italy, the Nordics, and parts of Latin America for three months.
Other Titles Included in the Deal
In addition to the Bond films, Netflix will also feature:
- Rocky
- Creed
- Legally Blonde
Original series like The Man in the High Castle will also be part of the streaming offerings.
Background of the Agreement
This partnership follows the recent transition of the series Hunters from Amazon Prime Video to Netflix. Originally created by David Weil, Hunters has begun streaming this month and will remain available on Netflix for one year.
According to Amazon sources, the licensing of the Bond catalog to Netflix is a strategic business move aimed at expanding global reach and audience engagement. This decision highlights a shift in the streaming landscape, suggesting that collaboration may be beneficial even among competitors.
Expert Insights
Chris Ottinger, Head of Worldwide Distribution at Amazon MGM Studios, stated, “James Bond remains one of the most enduring and influential franchises in cinematic history.” He emphasized that this agreement reflects the ongoing global demand for premium storytelling and underscores the productive relationship between Amazon and Netflix.
Historically, Prime Video features James Bond films for two months each year, typically around October’s global Bond Day. MGM+ also airs the films during this select timeframe, maintaining a year-round presence with a preferred selection.
