It marks an unexpected deal between the two rivals.

Amazon insiders told Deadline that licensing the Bond catalog to Netflix is a “strategic business decision designed to broaden global reach and reengage audiences.”

Amazon essentially has decided that the revenue these titles will generate is worth the trade-off of helping one of its streaming rivals — a sign that the distribution market is back, at least for now. It is similar to when Warner Bros Discovery decided to start selling HBO shows such as Insecure, Band of Brothers and Six Feet Under to Netflix in 2023, long before the streamer struck a deal to buy the whole company.

“When Amazon acquired MGM, Amazon’s plan was to continue licensing MGM’s iconic library to streaming and television partners around the world. Bringing these iconic films and shows to Netflix is part of that continued strategy,” said Chris Ottinger, Head of Worldwide Distribution, Amazon MGM Studios. “James Bond remains one of the most enduring and influential franchises in cinematic history, and alongside other beloved titles in our library like Hunters, among other series, this agreement reflects the continued global appetite for premium storytelling and the strong working relationship we’ve built with Netflix.”

Prime Video streams the James Bond films for two months each year, around October’s global Bond Day through Thanksgiving. MGM+ also airs the movies during the same window, running an “all-Bond” stunt from October through December, as well as airing a selection of films year-round.
