FAQ

New to this blog - Start here!

How does this blog work?
Each month there is a post where we curate titles leaving Amazon Prime Video.  Different people contribute by leaving comments on the home page, and I try to organize the information and link the titles to their appropriate page.  As the month progresses, I delete the expired titles from the current page and re-post everything that has expired at the end of that month.  Once the month has ended, the "expiring post" becomes an "archive post" that people can still view.    

Please keep in mind, while we strive to provide accurate information, we cannot guarantee that a title is staying or leaving Amazon Prime Video.  Sometimes titles disappear without any notice, and other times, titles that do have an expiration notice are renewed.

How do we determine if a title is expiring?
If you are using a computer, you will need to "hover" over each title in your Watchlist in order to see if an expiration date is present.  If the title is expiring, you will see an expiration date in the pop-up box. The expiration date is now posted 14 days in advance.  However, be warned that Amazon does not always follow this procedure, and (as mentioned earlier) every month titles disappear without notice.  Also, sometimes titles disappear before the posted expiration date.

Decoding Everything

  • We list the date as the last day to view the expiring title, which is one day earlier than the date that Amazon lists
  • New titles added to the list are marked as NEW, and the new notice stays up for 7 days
  • EXPIRED WITHOUT NOTICE refers to a title that has left APV with no expiration notice
  • EXPIRED WITHOUT NOTICE AGAIN refers to a title that has left APV more than once
  • RETURNING EXPIRED WITHOUT NOTICE means the title has returned to APV, and RETURNING EXPIRED WITHOUT NOTICE AGAIN means a title that expires frequently has returned to Prime
  • RENEWED titles are titles that were showing an expiration notice, but now the expiration notice has disappeared
  • RETURNED TO PRIME refers to titles that have expired with notice, and they are now back on Prime
  • We use the expression "s/b" quite often because APV often lists the wrong year for their content.  To avoid confusion, we list the year Amazon provides first followed by the "s/b" (should be) and the correct year provided by IMDb.com. 
  • We do not color-code titles on this blog. However, we list some titles in bold type because they have an IMDb score of 7.0 or higher.  The purpose of the bold type is to highlight quality content.
  • We do highlight some things on this blog.  The last day to watch a title is highlighted in yellow.  Also, titles that are renewed (that were listed as expiring) are highlighted in orange.  
  • Titles that are expiring with notice are usually linked. Those titles may appear orange on your device.  Titles in plain black text are not linked. Those titles are typically ones that have expired without notice.

    1. Hello Anonymous! I copied your comment to the Home page. Just to let you know, I put A Place Called Home under the 3/30 category for unconfirmed titles and Devil's Double under 3/31. Usually, movies leave one day before Amazon's expiration date.

  2. Here's how to find your way around the InstantWatcher.com website.

    Go to http://instantwatcher.com/a
    to see their Amazon Prime Video homepage listing the current, most popular movies and TV shows trending on Prime.

    Click on a title to see the InstantWatcher detail info webpage describing the title.

    Click on the "Amazon Page" link next to the poster to open the Amazon Prime detail webpage in a new tab

    Note: You can click on any movie studio below the title in an InstantWatcher list to see all the movies from that studio on Amazon Video. Then check the "Prime" filter box to see only those titles Available on Prime.

    And you can search for a title or a person's name in the Search box at the top of the page.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Next, click on "New Prime" in the banner at the top of the page to see the daily updated list of all new titles added to Amazon Prime Video.

    You can narrow down the display of titles to just what you want to see by adjusting the various filter settings on the New Prime webpage.

    Uncheck the "TVSeasons" box to display just "Movies." Or vice versa.
    I usually adjust the Runtime Minutes setting by dragging the low-end red dot to show content of at least 50 minutes length to eliminate all short subjects.

    You can further narrow the selection by checking the box for one kind of movie or TV show, i.e. Comedy, Drama, Romance, etc. Instantwatcher displays the number of titles in that Amazon category next to the check box description.

    Click on a title to see the InstantWatcher detail info webpage in a new tab.

    Or click on the "Amazon Page" link next to the title to open the Amazon Prime detail webpage in a new tab where you can read all about it and Add to Watchlist.

  4. Here's how to find the HBO content on the InstantWatcher.com website.

    Go to http://instantwatcher.com/a/search?content_type=1+2&studio=HBO
    to see ALL of the HBO content available on Amazon Video

    There are presently 488 titles available for rental/purchase and/or on Prime.
    Check the "Prime" filter box to see only those titles Available on Prime.

    Or go to HBO content available on Amazon Prime Video

    There are 228 titles available on Prime now, 90 movies and 138 TV seasons.

    Uncheck the "TVSeasons" box to display just "Movies." Or vice versa.
    Click on a title to open a new tab with the InstantWatcher detail info webpage.
    Or click on the "Amazon Page" link next to a title to open the Amazon Prime detail webpage in a new tab.

    You have one year to watch everything you can, until May 2018 at least.
    Better get started.

  6. According to Amazon support, this is part of an on-going "experiment" to remove Hover and study its impact. They have done this with 15% of their customers. It is not pleasant at all to be part of this experiment. Without the popups showing, does anyone know how to see the expiration dates?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Without those pop-ups it not possible to know when a title is leaving. Is there any way that Amazon support can remove you from the experiment? Their experiment is ridiculous because people pay for Prime and its benefits. One of the benefits is being able to receive 28-day-notices for titles that are leaving.

    2. That was the 1st thing I asked when they told me I was in that group. They said I would be removed early Sept, along with everyone else that is in that group. Yep, I feel special, just like everyone else!

    1. I think the notices have been removed for almost everyone. It's odd because some people have seen their expiration notices return. I keep hoping that if enough people contact customer service, maybe Amazon will let us have our notices back.

    2. I contacted Amazon:

      ---

      I can understand you concern regarding the removal of the titles from Prime Videos.

      Thank you for reporting the issues with our Amazon Video service..

      In this case, I've now forwarded your message as a feedback to our Amazon Video development team for consideration as we make future improvements.

      Prime Video availability depends on our agreements with content owners. We're constantly working to establish and enhance these agreements so we can offer the largest selection of movies and TV shows possible.

      Valuable customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the experience of using our digital video service.

      Please note: You can also see a list of titles expiring from Prime Video in the next 30 days at the link below:

      https://www.amazon.co.uk/amazonvideo/expiringprimevideo

      I'm very sorry that we weren't able to meet your expectations this time around. I hope that you will allow us another opportunity to serve you in the future.

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

    3. Wow! That is awesome that the rep showed you a link to their list of expiring titles. This blog tracks Amazon Prime Videos in the USA so those movies may not be available for us. I hope we get a list of movies too.

      Delete
    4. Does .com not have an equivalent URL? I can get to it from the Prime Video dashboard by scrolling down the queues until I reach 'Movies with limited time on Prime' (or the TV equivalent). Once you're in there it appears as a category in the left-hand 'refine by' bar.

      As I responded to Amazon customer service - it's better than nothing, but it still doesn't tell you *when* in the next 30 days a title will expire, so it's useless for planning further ahead than the day you're viewing it.

      Delete
    5. We don't have the equivalent of what you have. We used to be able to check each item one at a time by hovering over it and looking to see if an expiration notice shows up in the pop-up window.

      I like the idea of Amazon having a list of movies leaving in the next 30 days on their website, but like you said, it doesn't really help much if you don't know the date when the movies leaves Prime.

      Delete
    6. This option to see what is leaving Prime in less than 30 days is also available in Germany.

      https://www.amazon.de/pv-ablaufende-titel

      But as there is different Prime content for all three countries, this won't help US customers. And it's really a shame that they don't even offer this option in the US. But as this option was always there since I'm a Prime member and not available in the US, I doubt that they will add it for US customers now. I'm afraid the next step could be removing this list in UK and Germany too. Because obviously they don't want us to know about what's expiring. But I hope I'm wrong and they will bring it back for all of us some day.

  9. Here is my response from Amazon in US.

    It would help if many people contacted them b/c this is part of their response: "I appreciate that you wrote about this as I can point out the increased demand as well."

    ----------------------------

    Hello,

    From your e-mail, I understand that you like to view the content of Expiration notices for movies/TV show.

    I am sorry to inform that the expiration notices for movies/TV show is not available currently.

    Hence, to help you with this situation, I've forwarded your request to our technical team who'll get in touch with the respective developers and see that this option is made available as soon as possible.

    I appreciate that you wrote about this as I can point out the increased demand as well.

    As this involves many teams and individuals, I'm unable to predict the current time-line in which the apps will be made available.

    We definitely value your opinion and will continue to listen and respond to our customers' concerns. Thanks for taking time to share your thoughts. Your comments and suggestions will help us improve our store and offer better service further.

  10. not available "currently."

    That actually sounds promising (I'm an optimist, though). If you don't mind telling me, how did you contact them? I submitted a feedback comment recently and, judging by the response, they didn't really even read it.

  11. for some reason they do make it quite difficult to email them now with feedback. This is how I did it.

    1) go to help (at very bottom of webpage, last option under "Let Us Help you"
    2) enter "contact amazon" in the find more solutions search box
    3) choose "support options & contact us"
    4) choose last option "contact us"
    5) #1-choose 3rd option "digital content & services"
    6) #2-"Amazon Video",
    "Desktop Computer"
    "I have a general question about using Amazon video"
    7) Now you can email. If you choose some of the other options, email is not available.

    2. yes!
      download titles prior to expiring. Turn off device WiFi & leave it off until all expired titles have been viewed.
      1) once you hit play, you have 48 hrs to watch
      2) without a WiFi connection, titles seem to last about 4 weeks.

    I'm a relatively new user of Prime. I have been a Hulu user for about six months. I have noticed on this site some references to Hulu, such as "5/30 - Unconfirmed Expiring from Prime - Leaving Hulu 5/31". Is there a correlation between Prime and Hulu? For example, do most movies that expire from Prime also expire from Hulu the same date and vice versa (assuming that they are already on both services)?

    I also see references to IMDb TV, such as "MOVED TO IMDb TV". What is the significance of this? Is a Prime membership required to watch something on IMDb TV? Is this one of the services that Prime offers, but it costs extra (like I think Starz is)? Or is this free to everyone, but with ads? I will tolerate ads in streaming services if the show I'm watching originally contained ads, such as a TV series or a made-for-TV movie originally shown on a network that has embedded ads (broadcast networks, Lifetime, etc.), but not a theatrical movie or a TV series or made-for-TV movie originally shown on a platform that doesn't have embedded ads (Netflix, HBO, etc.). Only a few times have I resorted to watching something on Tubi, Pluto, or the like. The only movies I have seen on Hulu have had the ads at the very beginning and/or very end.

    1. Yes, we have observed a correlation between movies expiring on Hulu and those same movies on Prime. Movies expiring on Hulu during the month sometimes also expire from Prime around the same date, like Super 8 (2011). Whereas we have seen a strong probability that Hulu end-of-month titles that are also on Prime will likewise expire from Prime then, too.

      Hulu and Prime normally only give 14 days advance notice of a title expiring on their website, but Hulu issues a monthly press release which gives us a 30 day jump on the end-of-month expirations they share in common. See the Hulu link at the top of each monthly post.

      One wrinkle however is that sometimes a movie will only arrive on the 1st of the month and then be leaving on the 30/31st. So we have to wait a few days at the start of each month for Amazon to add all of their new Prime titles before we can make an accurate complete list of potentially expiring Prime titles. These titles are then labeled "Unconfirmed". When the 14 day advance expiration notices appear mid-month [5/17 5/18], then we update the exp dates and titles on the list and label it "Confirmed Expiring from Prime".

      IMDb TV is a Free with Ads streaming service that ANYONE can watch. The service is run by Amazon, which acquired IMDb.com several years ago. You do NOT have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to be able to watch IMDb TV movies and TV shows. You can create your own IMDb TV account at IMDb.com, or since Amazon owns it, you can add IMDb TV content to your Amazon account Watchlist, too, even without subscribing to Prime. There is an IMDb TV Channel row showing new titles added on the Prime Video homepage. If you install and use the Expiry Viewer userscript, it will display a Blue Banner beneath the poster of IMDb TV titles in Your Watchlist.

      While we try to list Prime expiring titles on this blog, APV removes movies and TV shows every week without notice. Sometimes these titles are moved to one of the Pay Extra channels. Sometimes they are moved to IMDb TV free with ads. And more recently they have been moved to 99-cent and 1.99 rentals for a period. Then they may disappear altogether. We list the IMDb TV titles to give everyone a second chance at catching a title they may have just missed. APV has also just started adding IMDb TV titles to their monthly press release of new Prime titles. See the APV link at the top of each monthly post.

    2. Thank you for directing me to the correct place to put this type of comment. I am a semi-regular participant on a similar site for Netflix. The comment areas other than the one for expiring titles appear along the side of the page. I didn't see such a list here and figured you only had just that one comments page. Now I see that your other categories are tabs across the top.

  35. Why does Amazon Prime sometimes have two different versions of the same movie? I never see this happen with the other services, including Netflix and HBO/HBO Max.

    I first encountered this not long after I joined Amazon Prime. I wanted to watch the documentary video "Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind". I knew that Amazon Prime was the only ad-free service I have access to and could watch on my TV that had it for no extra cost beyond my subscription fee. Plus, the Netflix DVD service doesn't offer it. This video came up twice on Amazon. One was the freebie I expected to see. The other was a rental/purchase. Although this was about two months ago, the two copies are still shown on Amazon. Is this so that they can expire the free one or transfer it to another service while keeping the rental/purchase one? Or is the rental/purchase copy of a higher quality? I am not a videophile, so the availability of something in the various xD formats means nothing to me. And a very high quality video probably wouldn't play on my non-smart TV, purchased new in 2009 but probably a 2008 model based on the copyright date of the owner's manual. I access Prime Video via Comcast/Xfinity's X1 system, and our service doesn't give us the highest quality anyway.

    1. Yes, you've got it right about the multiple copies for some titles.
      Amazon's streaming service began with the rental/purchase business model
      and only later added the Prime Video subscription service, and now Pay Extra Channels.
      Some titles have the rental/purchase options together with the subscription options
      all on one webpage (link). Other titles have multiple copies (links) for each
      possibility separately.

      If you click on the "Details" link in the middle of a title's webpage, you may
      find the Studio name for that particular link. The Studio's print quality is
      the same for each link [rental/purchase/subscription] whether SD or HD,
      and a separate link for the 4K UHD print when available.

      Also, to compete with the other streaming services, APV made contracts with
      several smaller film distributors that sometimes overlapped content and
      resulted in multiple copies of the same older public domain and television
      print movies on Prime. Their quality can vary widely.
      The Studio name will help you tell them apart.

      So, you may find multiple copies (links) to the same movie for rental/purchase,
      for Prime members, for IMDb TV free with ads, and for Pay Extra Channels.
      The situation is a mish-mash. When a Prime expiring title has multiple copies
      available, sometimes we'll try to evaluate the quality of the different prints
      and tell you which is the best one to watch.

  36. Professor T Season 1 is currently included with Prime but the thumbnail in the Prime Video app says "INCLUDED WITH PRIME UNTIL 7/31" therefore it's leaving APV on 7/30.

      "Included with Prime until 7/31" is APV's way of saying "Leaves Prime on 8/1".

    3. Hi Larry,

      I see that your entry says "Professor T: Season 1 (2017) - Seasons 2-3 on PBS Masterpiece [Flemish w English subtitles]"

      I know that Season 1 is leaving APV -- but I'm wondering does the reference to PBS Masterpiece mean that Seasons 2-3 are leaving PBS Masterpiece at the same time, or that they will continue to be available on PBS Masterpiece after Season 1 leaves APV?

  37. 1. When I look at the list of expiring titles on this site, is there any way to find out which ones were added to the list most recently? If this is already stated in the introduction there, I probably glanced at it too quickly.

    2. Why do so many Amazon Prime titles expire on the next-to-the-last day of the month (June 29, July 30, etc.)? On other services, such as Netflix and HBO, while some titles expire during the month, most expire on the last day.

    3. Why do some titles expire at 9 pm Pacific Time (12 midnight Eastern Time) on their last day, while others apparently expire at 12 midnight local time, wherever one is in the United States?

    1. 1)  The label " - NEW!" is generally added to each new title on the master list for 6-7 days. If you look at the bottom of the comments on a monthly post, you will find the most recently submitted titles. I post a message "All expiring titles in comments above have been added to the master list" when it is updated. If you look at the comments between this message and the previous message, you will see which titles were the most recent additions.

      2)  Why is a difficult question to answer. What you see is what you get.
      And all the more reason why this website is so helpful and valuable.

      3)  Again another why question. All times listed on the master list are shown as Pacific Time, which you need to adjust to your own time zone. We don't know the expiration time for certain until the countdown Expiration Date notice on the title detail webpage changes from "Leaves Prime in XX days" to "Leaves Prime in XX hours" at the 48 hour mark.
      The notice will change again to "Leaves Prime in XX hours XX minutes" at the 24 hour mark. These hour and minute notices will be automatically adjusted to your time zone.

      If you are using the Expiry Viewer script, you will see these day and time changes in the Yellow Banner below the posters in Your Watchlist, without your having to open each expiring title's detail webpage to see them.

  38. This is a FABULOUS resource. I have used it for almost a year now. Great work!

    QUESTIONS:

    GENERAL: When do you tend to post the expiring titles for the end of the month? Is it roughly 28 days before? 25 days before? 21 days?

    SPECIFIC: Today is Sat 9:30 AM (Eastern) Feb 5. That's 24 days before March 1. I notice that the expiring titles for the end of Feb are not yet up. Should I expect those this weekend? Is it better for me to check in the late afternoon due to the difference between Pacific and Eastern time? (Unsure if you are located on the West coast).

    PS. I promise I am not being OCD! :-) I am the lead for a movie group and I like to factor in what movies are expiring before I make my selection for our next movie. Thanks again for the wonderful service you provide.

    1. Generally APV displays an expiration notice for a title 14 days before it Leaves Prime.
      So the earliest anyone can tell whether a title may be expiring at the end of the month
      is exactly 2 weeks earlier.

      Thanks to the hard work of our contributors, we are able to assemble a list of month-end
      expiring titles after a couple of days of research on the APV website and after
      looking through our own personal Watchlists. You can follow our day to day progress
      on the blog in the comments or check back 10-12 days before the end of the month
      for the complete list as best as we can make it.

      One very helpful aid that we provide is the APV Expiry Viewer javascript program which
      can detect and display the expiration notices in your Watchlist and on the detail webpage
      of individual titles among the Cast & Crew listings and the Customers Watched listings.
      See the Resources webpage for all the details of what it is, how to install it
      and how to make it work. It may take a little work on your part to set it up
      and create your Watchlist bookmarks, but then it will save you alot of time and
      effort keeping track of what's leaving your personal Watchlist.

  39. I think I have my answer but I want to be sure. I am for now an Amazon Prime member (APM). I made a list (using my calendar) of when free movies will expire that I wanted to watch. There is only so much time in a day so I had to let some expire. I can get most of them through the library anyways. My question is do expired free movies on Amazon Prime ever come back free to it if still an APM member?

  40. How I meet your mother is no longer on Prime Video either. But I can't find the confirmation.

    1. How I Met Your Mother (2006) (Seasons 0-9) left Prime on Wednesday Jan 18, 2023.
      If you search the comments on the January post [press Ctrl+F], you will see it was first
      reported as expiring on Jan 4.

    2. Hi I was curious about one of this month's expiring titles listed as "Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) 7.7 - arriving 5/1 on Prime per press release - NEW!".

      So it's expiring on 4/30/23 and the same movie is returning the next day? Just confused because it's labeled as NEW and doesn't say renewed.

    3. Yes, the same movie is returning the next day on Prime.  Amazon does that sometimes.

      The information that it is returning per their May 2023 press release is what is NEW!
      The title will be marked as "Renewed" next month when it is confirmed.

    4. I saw the movie (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) wasn't renewed after all, but I appreciate your reply! Just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I appreciate this site and all the work you put into updating it ❤️

    5. Sometimes Amazon makes a mistake in their press releases.
      Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) arrived 5/1 on Prime instead of
      the original 1956 movie which expired on 4/30. But the 1956 movie
      will probably return to Prime again in several more months.

  44. Dexter season 6. I just finished the second episode and the next day it went missing. When I select the season it doesn't show the episodes, just the related tv shows. All other seasons are available but the season I just started. Very disappointing.
