Starz and Crunchyroll are launching a discounted streaming bundle in the United States through Amazon Prime Video. The offer lets subscribers access both services for $16.99 per month, packaged as a single subscription option on Prime Video. Sources report that the price represents more than a 23% discount compared with subscribing to the platforms separately.
Crunchyroll, the anime-focused streaming service owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, is partnering with Starz for the first U.S. bundle deal that combines the two platforms. The rollout specifically comes via Prime Video, indicating Amazon acts as the distribution channel for the combined subscription. Deadline also notes Crunchyroll has grown substantially in its subscriber base, while the other outlets focus on the pricing and the novelty of the arrangement in the U.S. overall.
The announcement positions the deal as a way to bundle anime content from Crunchyroll with Starz’s programming under a single monthly fee for viewers in the U.S. The sources do not provide additional terms or content changes beyond the bundle pricing and availability through Prime Video.
