Bond fans can now stream all 25 films, explore new free featurettes on Amazon Prime and buy merch from the official 007 Amazon store.
Bond fans have reason to celebrate this October as Amazon Prime brings the entire James Bond film collection back to its streaming service. Alongside the films, Amazon has launched a series of exclusive mini-featurettes, starting with 007 Destinations, which is already live.
These featurettes, part of a set including 007 Action with Chris Corbould, 007 Design, and 007 DB5: Celebrating 60 Years, offer a deep dive into the world of Bond. Better still, they are completely free to view—even for those without an Amazon Prime subscription. For Bond devotees, this could be the perfect way to immerse themselves in the details of the Bond universe while waiting for updates on the next era of 007.
Bond’s world at your fingertips
Amazon’s acquisition of MGM was seen as a game-changer for the Bond franchise, and this recent move seems to be a clear effort to capitalise on that. Prime Video’s dedicated James Bond section isn’t just about the films anymore; it’s an immersive portal that leads viewers to the featurettes, interviews with production talent, and an official 007 store where merchandise is readily available. Fans can browse everything from Bond-branded apparel to collectable items such as Aston Martin models and luxury watches.
This new focus on Bond as a brand extends beyond just film and TV content—it’s about expanding the world of 007 into every part of a fan’s life, from the gadgets he uses to the locations he travels to. The first featurette, 007 Destinations, showcases some of the iconic places Bond has visited over the decades, blending the exotic allure of far-flung locations with insights into how these locales were chosen to set the stage for Bond’s globe-trotting adventures. Future featurettes promise more of the same: 007 Action will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at how legendary action sequences were crafted, with a focus on Chris Corbould’s special effects work. Meanwhile, 007 Design and the anniversary special 007 DB5: Celebrating 60 Years will explore the legacy of the films’ visual design and the beloved car that has become synonymous with Bond himself.
What’s next for Bond?
This influx of Bond content is certainly welcome, particularly as the future of the franchise remains uncertain. With No Time To Die marking Daniel Craig’s final outing as the suave superspy, Eon Productions’ silence about 007’s next outing remains deafening, broken occasionally by wild tabloid speculation.
But in the meantime, Amazon’s decision to reintroduce the Bond library and produce new original content helps fill the void. The blend of nostalgia—rewatching classics like Goldfinger—and fresh perspectives offered by the featurettes may be just what the doctor ordered for those impatiently awaiting any word on the next 007.
While Bond 26 might still be a mystery, what’s clear is that Amazon is doing something to ensure the world of 007 stays front and centre in fans’ minds. By adding more interactive content, opening a one-stop Bond hub, and giving fans free access to featurettes, Amazon is building anticipation for what’s to come—and ensuring that the legacy of Ian Fleming’s superspy continues to thrive in the streaming age.
