The Academy of Country Music Awards have a home at Prime Video for the next three years, Amazon announced at its upfront presentation on Monday. The three-year renewal comes just days after Reba McEntire hosted the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards last Thursday.

'Our powerful partnership with Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video has expanded the reach and accessibility of our show and the Country Music genre to viewers anytime, anywhere around the world and has redefined what an awards show experience can and should be in today's environment,' ACM CEO Damon Whiteside added. 'The synergies between Prime Video, Amazon Music, Twitch and the other divisions of Amazon bring exponential value to our artists, our genre and our fans through an immersive 360° music experience they can't get from any other platform. I am so proud of our pioneering first four years in the streaming space, and we are excited to continue to deliver the future of Country Music and the ACM Awards to fans everywhere over the next three years.' 'We're thrilled to continue our partnership with Prime Video through 2028,' Dick Clark Productions CEO Jay Penske echoed. 'The Academy of Country Music Awards made history in 2022 as the first major awards show to exclusively livestream and continues to break new ground, creating a world-class music event and providing dynamic, unparalleled reach through Prime Video, connecting country music with a global audience.' 'I feel like it's just another way for us to get country music out there to the world,' Miranda Lambert added. 'Country music is really popular right now, and I'm so glad more people are understanding what we're about, and I'm so happy to be part of the ACM history, and that it's gonna continue for three more years is really exciting.' The 2025 ACMs were produced by Dick Clark Productions with Raj Kapoor as executive producer and showrunner and Patrick Menton as co-EP.

List of Canceled TV Shows on Amazon Prime Video in 2025
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Amazon Prime Video is making major changes in 2025, canceling several fan-favorite series while also preparing to launch a fresh lineup of shows and movies. The shift comes as the streaming service continues to realign its strategy amid fierce competition. Why It Matters The shake-up includes the cancellation of eight TV shows, decisions that have frustrated viewers loyal to these programs. The move reflects broader trends across the streaming industry, where platforms are increasingly trimming underperforming content to prioritize larger franchises and newer projects. Amazon Prime Video's decisions are likely to impact both subscriber satisfaction and content strategy as viewers reassess their streaming choices heading into the second half of the year. Why Amazon Prime Series Have Been Canceled The reasons for cancellations vary but are largely tied to viewership metrics, cost concerns and strategic shifts. 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' Set in India, this spinoff of Citadel followed espionage adventures similar to its parent series. It lasted only one season before being canceled. "While these successful and widely enjoyed international chapters will not continue as individual series, Season 2 of Citadel will be our most exhilarating yet," Amazon MGM head Vernon Sanders said in a statement to Rotten Tomatoes. The series launched in 2024 and features Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kashvi Majmundar, Varun Dhawan and Saqib Saleem. 'Citadel: Diana' Based in Italy, this sister show to Citadel focused on spy intrigue from an Italian perspective. Like Honey Bunny, it was canceled after one season. The characters and plot elements from both Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny are expected to be integrated into Citadel's main storyline in Season 2, which is slated to premiere in 2026, according to Rotten Tomatoes. The flagship series stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas. Debuting in 2024, the Citadel: Diana cast features Matilda De Angelis, Lorenzo Cervasio, Maurizio Lombardi and Julia Piaton. 'Neighbours' The iconic Australian soap opera that originally aired in 1985 was revived on Amazon Freevee in 2022 but will conclude its run in December after just three years on Prime platforms. The show follows the daily lives of residents on Ramsay Street and is widely known for kick-starting the careers of actors like Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Margot Robbie. It originally debuted on the Seven Network in March 1985. 'Cruel Intentions' This series reimagined the 1999 cult film, focusing on the scheming dynamics between two manipulative step-siblings navigating power and prestige at an elite college. It premiered in late 2024 and was canceled after one season due to low viewership. The series also never made it on Nielsen's Top 10 streaming charts, according to The Mirror. The series received a 24 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Cruel Intentions' cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, Savannah Lee Smith and Sara Silva. 'Bosch: Legacy' A continuation of the popular Bosch detective series, Legacy focused on former LAPD detective Harry Bosch now working as a private investigator. Money was the reason to end Bosch: Legacy after three seasons, even as fans wished for it to continue, The Mirror reported. The drama, featuring Titus Welliver as the lead, ran for three seasons beginning in 2022. The final season aired on March 27 with the final episode releasing April 17. 'The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh' This family comedy about an Indian immigrant family adjusting to life in America premiered in October 2024 and was canceled after one season despite a strong 75 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The cast includes Naveen Andrews, Sindhu Vee, Sahana Srinivasan, Arjun Sriram and Ashwin Sakthivel. 'The 1% Club' A U.S. adaptation of the British game show focused on intelligence puzzles rather than trivia. It launched on Prime Video in October 2023 and was canceled after one season, with Fox picking it up for future episodes. 'The Sticky' Facing the loss of her farm to government bureaucracy, syrup producer Ruth Landry joins forces with a Boston mobster and a French Canadian security guard to pull off a daring theft of Quebec's maple syrup reserves, inspired by the real-life Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. The series, starring Margo Martindale and produced by Jamie Lee Curtis, ran for one season with just six episodes. 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Although it became a fan favorite, Prime Video confirmed that The Summer I Turned Pretty will conclude after its third season. The first season featured seven episodes, the second expanded to eight and the upcoming third season will include 11 episodes, scheduled to premiere in July. Adapted from Jenny Han's book trilogy, the series structured each season around one novel, with showrunners confirming that the third season will wrap up the main story arc, according to The Mirror. The cast includes Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman and Rain Spencer. New Shows Coming to Amazon Prime Video in May Despite the cancellations, Amazon Prime Video is adding several highly anticipated new titles. According to previous reporting from Newsweek, Prime Video's lineup for May includes: Overcompensating Motorheads Clarkson's Farm Amazon is also continuing popular franchises, having renewed The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for Season 3 and announced second seasons for House of David and Jury Duty. How Much Does Amazon Prime Video Cost? A subscription to Amazon Prime Video is included with an Amazon Prime membership, which costs about $14.99 or $139 annually. Students receive a discounted price of $7.49 monthly or $69 annually. What People Are Saying An X user named @johnszim posted: "Watching the final episode of Bosch: Legacy and I will miss this show. Titus Welliver is an amazing actor and nobody could ever play Harry Bosch after his portrayal. Plus he's a Boston boy." What's Next Amazon Prime Video appears committed to investing in large-scale franchises while phasing out lower-performing titles. As the platform expands its lineup with high-profile renewals and original content, its strategy reflects a focus on global appeal and event-driven storytelling designed to retain subscribers and compete in an increasingly crowded streaming market.

"Citadel" Spinoffs "Honey Bunny" & "Diana" Canceled, Will Be Woven Into Season 2 of Mothership Series
Yara Sameh 'Citadel' spinoffs 'Honey Bunny' and 'Diana' will not be moving forward as individual series at Prime Video. Instead, their storylines will be woven into the second season of the mothership series 'Citadel,' which is set to premiere next year. The India-set 'Honey Bunny' and Italian series 'Diana,' both executive produced by the Russo Brothers, followed different sects of the powerful Citadel spy agency for which the show is named. 'While these successful and widely enjoyed international chapters will not continue as individual series, Season 2 of 'Citadel' will be our most exhilarating yet,' Amazon MGM Studios head of television Vernon Sanders said in a statement. 'With high-stakes storytelling, new additions to our amazing cast and bold, cinematic ambition, the new season will deepen the emotional journeys of Nadia, Mason and Orlick against the relentless force that is Manticore. We're excited to share what's next when 'Citadel' Season 2 premieres globally in Q2 of 2026.' The logline for 'Citadel' Season 2 reads: 'One month after the events of the first season, we find our Citadel spies underground, as they're being hunted by Manticore agents around the world. They're pulled out of hiding to join forces with a new team of unconventional spies when Manticore's Brazilian billionaire Paulo Braga threatens to unleash a cataclysmic piece of technology, built by Citadel's own Bernard Orlick, into the world.' 'Citadel' stars Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Stanley Tucci, and Lesley Manville among its main cast. The cancellations come despite reported success for both of the spinoffs, with 'Honey Bunny' becoming Prime Video's most-watched series worldwide during its first weekend of release in November and 'Diana' debuting as the streamer's best-launching Italian original in October. They also follow the departure of Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke, who shepherded the idea for the series and its global expansion. 'Citadel' not becoming the pop culture phenomenon Amazon expected could have contributed to her exit. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
