Starz and Crunchyroll debut $16.99 bundle on Prime Video

Published 29 July 2026

A new streaming bundle combining the Starz and Crunchyroll services launched on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, offering U.S. subscribers a discounted package through Amazon's Prime Video Channels. The bundle is priced at $16.99 per month, representing a savings of more than 23 percent compared to subscribing to the two services separately. This marks the first such bundle deal in the United States for Crunchyroll, the anime-focused service owned by Sony.

The offering brings together Starz's catalog of premium dramas, movies, and original series with Crunchyroll's extensive library of anime content. Executives from both companies framed the partnership as a strategic move to reach broader audiences as viewing habits evolve. Alison Hoffman, president of Starz Networks, stated that the bundle gives viewers access to a range of stories and genres and enables Starz to introduce its programming to new viewers. Terry Li, Crunchyroll's chief product officer, echoed the sentiment, saying the launch is a meaningful step in expanding how fans can discover anime and connect with the series they love.

The bundle's debut coincides with a slate of new and returning programming on both platforms....
