Amazon extends CBS summer series pact
Amazon has licensed all of CBS’s previous summer drama originals, Under the Dome, Extant and Zoo, and will now get the efforts for the 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons.
CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves has previously said Amazon’s financial input has been key allowing the shows, which are produced for the traditionally quiet period normally dominated by repeats, to run to big budgets and subsequently hoover up good audiences.
The first show from the new pact is BrainDead, the comic-thriller CBS announced earlier this year. Amazon subscribers will be able to stream the show four days after its broadcast debut.
“Prime members have loved having access to series like Under the Dome and Extant just four days after broadcast, and we’re excited to continue to offer in-season availability of more great CBS summer series over the next three years,” said Brad Beale, Amazon’s VP, digital video content acquisition.
The deal also means Amazon will get an expanded selection of CBS and Showtime library titles such as Medium, The Tudors, The L Word, the original Twin Peaks series, America’s Next Top Model, I Love Lucy, Penn & Teller, The Amazing Race, MacGyver, Brotherhood and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. There will also be more CBS Films available.

Nice. Looking forward to Wolf Hall, Vikings S3 and especially The Man in the High Castle. I'm a sucker for alternate history and Philip K. Dick.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
I guess I haven't paid much attention, but is Amazon way worse at taking things down off Prime streaming quickly vs Netflix? I just went through my watchlist, and a lot of old things were no longer Prime...The Usual Suspects, BTTF, and a few others that didn't seem like they were were hot commodities.
Yeah, none of the streaming services are probably worth it for movies, but still a bit annoying.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
I agree. In my experience, movies seem to come and go much more quickly on Prime than on Netflix. And there doesn't seem to be any warning. At least on Netflix, they mark which titles in your queue are expiring soon.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
Amazon does this too. If you look at your list online it will tell you "Leaves Prime in x amount of time/Date." For example, Burnt Offerings notes, "Leaving Prime on Nov 30, 2015."

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
One advantage of having a watchlist on Amazon is that if it leaves it is still in your watchlist... Albeit for purchase or rent only. I just leave them there and wait for if/when they return to prime.
With Netflix, they do return and reappear in your list but you don't always know what disappeared when it goes away...

Grateful Dead Bio-Series in Development at Amazon
A limited-run Grateful Dead bio-series is in the works at Amazon, with Bob Weir slated to executive produce and oversee all aspects of the show's music, Deadline reports.
The as-yet-untitled series is based on Steve Parish's 2003 memoir, Home Before Daylight: My Life On the Road with the Grateful Dead. In the book, Parish — who will serve as an executive producer on the show — chronicles his time as a member of the Grateful Dead's extended family, starting with his work as a roadie and later as Jerry Garcia's manager and confidant.
In 2008, as Rolling Stone reported, Parish and producer Stephen Emery attempted to turn Home Before Daylight into a Grateful Dead biopic. The project, however, stalled despite having Weir signed on as music director, and Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young and Bob Dylan all set to contribute to the soundtrack.
Emery remains involved in the new project as a co-executive producer, though it's unclear if Weir will have to start from scratch with the show's music. Neither a writer, nor a director, are attached to the series yet.

From The Shield/Terriers' Shawn Ryan comes a new Amazon series (based on the UK show) about four longtime friends who travel to Belize to see an old pal, and are then forced to fend for their lives after the reunion takes an unexpectedly dark turn. Starring Ben Chaplin, Michael Imperioli, Romany Malco, and Steve Zahn.

Didn't they have an exclusive deal on Legend of Korra? I wish they'd put up the final season. Hope springs eternal that they'll finish up Justified too, it's been about a year since the final episode aired. Cool that I'll get to see Bone Tomahawk that way, it's gotten good buzz here.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
The UK show was brilliant. The series ending was disappointing because it was out of left field (to say the least) but it wrapped up definitively and very fittingly if anyone wanted to track it down. It'll be tough for the US version to have the same character chemistry, but we'll see.

Who would want to watch Miracle on 34th Street in January?
At least Amazon churns their movies. Seems like Netflix stagnates after a while. Plus I'm finding that I like their series a bit better than Netflix too.
