From, the most-viewed series in the network’s history, lives in one place only: MGM+ is the Amazon-owned premium service that grew out of Epix, and MGM+ leans on originals like Godfather of Harlem, Billy the Kid and Earth Abides, backed by a deep archive of Hollywood films from the MGM library. The American standalone catalog is the deep one, with no ads and a single monthly price, and most subscribers never realize how tightly it is fenced until they pack a bag.
Leave the country and the app stops cold. Licensing keeps MGM+ locked to US IP addresses, so a hotel Wi-Fi in Lisbon or Tokyo returns an error instead of the next episode. A VPN such as Surfshark fixes the geo-block by routing you back through an American server, restoring the library you already pay for at full 4K, exactly as if you never left the couch in front of your own TV.

MGM+ is Amazon’s premium movie and series service, run by Amazon MGM Studios. It launched in January 2023 when Epix was renamed, and it leans on its own prestige titles: the sci fi horror From, its most watched series, alongside Godfather of Harlem, Billy the Kid and Earth Abides. The catalogue also holds a deep film library and everything plays ad free. In the United States you can take it on its own through the web and app, as a Prime Video Channel, or on cable. Elsewhere it runs as MGM+ International on Prime Video Channels across Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and more, with a different lineup heavy on Lionsgate and Starz shows such as Power, Outlander, BMF and P-Valley.
