Adding fuel to the premise that it’s never been so good for online video in the UK, Amazon has bought streaming rights to US dramas Into The Badlands and Lucifer.


The former, a highly-anticipated AMC production, will launch exclusively for Amazon Prime members in the UK after Prime Video secured streaming rights to the drama series from Entertainment One Television (eOne). Each episode of the martial arts series will be available to UK Amazon Prime members on a weekly basis from 16 November, after they air in the US.

Telling the story of a fallen angel, Lucifer, a Warner Bros Television series, will launch exclusively for Amazon Prime members in the UK on a streaming basis from early 2016 when the show launches in the US on Fox.

“We’re delighted to announce that we’re bringing another world-class TV series from AMC exclusively to our Amazon Prime customers here in the UK,” said Chris Bird, Film & TV Strategy Director, Amazon Instant Video UK. “Into the Badlands takes audiences on a cinematic journey like they have never experienced before… [while with Lucifer] Tom Ellis’s legion of UK fans will be thrilled to see him in this dynamic lead role, and Lucifer will introduce UK audiences to their next favourite show available alongside Prime Video’s extensive raft of original and exclusive TV shows.”
