Yes, Amazon is shutting down its free ad-supported streaming service, Freevee, and integrating its content into Prime Video:

Why: Amazon wants to simplify the streaming experience for customers by consolidating its streaming options under Prime Video.
What will happen: All Freevee content will be available on Prime Video for free, including shows that were previously hits on Freevee, like Jury Duty, Bosch: Legacy, and Judy Justice.

When: The service will be phased out within weeks.

I’d be mad if they got rid of the shows all together.

I'm not a Prime member so this has been a really good deal.

Guess I better binge the rest just in case. Great show.
