Hugh Jackman’s Oscar-nominated musical drama Les Misérables is releasing on Amazon Prime Video at the start of the new year, giving audiences a chance to revisit one of the most celebrated film adaptations of the past decade.

Prime Video is typically included as part of an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Amazon says the new news destination itself will be available at no extra cost to U.S. customers through the Prime Video app.

A new Evercore survey shows Amazon's Prime Video engagement is at 80%, boosting its standing against Netflix.

More recently, Amazon Prime Video gave U.S. subscribers a major free upgrade with a new dedicated news section. The move came at the perfect time, since competing platforms such as Netflix, Apple TV +, Disney +, HBO Max, and Peacock have all raised their prices this year to address higher production costs for quality content.

Amazon said the new news section will be free for all U.S. Prime Video customers by the end of the year. That means no additional subscription fees. The news destination is easy to find. People can open the Prime Video app, go to the top menu, and tap the news tab to start watching.
