MGM+ is a streaming service owned by Amazon that shows films and television from the MGM library

MGM+ (formerly called MGM+) is a subscription video service that streams movies and TV shows from Metro Goldwyn Mayer's catalog. Amazon owns MGM+ and operates it as a standalone subscription, though you can also add it to an Amazon Prime Video membership. The service costs money each month, and the price varies depending on whether you pay monthly, bundle it with Prime Video, or take advantage of promotional rates.

You watch MGM+ through an app or web browser on phones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. The service does not require a cable subscription or any other service — you pay MGM+ directly and stream on demand. Content includes older Hollywood films, recent theatrical releases (after they leave cinemas), original series, and documentaries.

Key Takeaways

  • MGM+ costs between $5.99 and $9.99 per month depending on the plan you choose and whether ads are included.
  • You can subscribe to MGM+ as a standalone service or add it to an existing Amazon Prime Video membership for a lower monthly cost.
  • The service works on most devices including phones, tablets, computers, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and smart TVs from major manufacturers.
  • MGM+ content rotates regularly, so movies and shows you want to watch may not be available permanently.

Pricing and subscription plans

MGM+ offers two main subscription tiers. The standard plan includes ads and costs less per month. The ad-free plan costs more but removes advertisements during playback. Both plans give you access to the same content library.

You can also add MGM+ to an Amazon Prime Video membership. This bundled option costs less than subscribing to MGM+ alone, though the exact price depends on your Prime Video plan and current promotions. Some people get MGM+ free for a limited time when they sign up for Prime Video or during promotional periods.

Prices change periodically and vary by region. Check the MGM+ website or app for current rates in your area before you subscribe.

What content is available on MGM+

MGM+ streams films from across MGM's history, including classic Hollywood movies, recent theatrical releases, and independent films. The library includes action films, comedies, dramas, horror, documentaries, and family content. Original series produced by MGM+ appear on the service alongside licensed shows from other studios.

The specific titles available change regularly. MGM+ adds new content monthly and removes older titles as licensing agreements expire. If you want to watch a particular film or show, search for it in the app to see whether it is currently available. Many services, including MGM+, let you add titles to a watchlist so you get notified when they become available.

How to set up and use MGM+

To subscribe as a standalone service, visit the MGM+ website or download the MGM+ app on your device. You will need to create an account with an email address and payment method. Choose your plan (with ads or ad-free), enter your payment information, and your subscription begins immediately.

If you already have Amazon Prime Video, you can add MGM+ through your Prime Video account settings rather than creating a separate subscription. This keeps all your streaming services in one place and may offer a discounted rate.

Once you are subscribed, open the MGM+ app or website, sign in with your account, and start watching. You can stream on multiple devices, though the number of simultaneous streams allowed depends on your plan — check your subscription details in the app to see how many people can watch at the same time.

Devices that work with MGM+

MGM+ works on most modern streaming devices and platforms. This includes Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Google TV, Samsung Smart TVs, LG Smart TVs, and other major brands. You can also watch on phones and tablets using the MGM+ app for iOS and Android, and on computers through a web browser.

If you are unsure whether your device supports MGM+, check the MGM+ website for a complete list of compatible devices. Older devices may not have the app available, though you can sometimes watch through a web browser instead.

Canceling your subscription

You can cancel MGM+ at any time through your account settings in the app or on the website. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep access until that date, then your subscription ends. There are no cancellation fees or penalties for stopping your subscription early.

If you added MGM+ to Prime Video, you remove it the same way through your Prime Video account settings. Removing MGM+ does not affect your Prime Video membership.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch MGM+ on multiple devices at the same time?

Yes, but the number of simultaneous streams depends on your plan. Most plans allow two or more people to watch at the same time on different devices. Check your subscription details in the app to see the exact limit for your plan.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. After that date, you can no longer watch MGM+ content unless you resubscribe. You can resubscribe at any time and your watchlist and settings will be restored.

Is there a free trial for MGM+?

MGM+ occasionally offers free trial periods, usually when you first subscribe or during promotional events. Check the MGM+ website to see if a trial is currently available in your region.

Can I download content to watch offline?

Some plans allow you to download movies and shows to watch later without an internet connection. Check whether your specific plan includes this feature in the app settings or on the MGM+ website.

Why is a show or movie I want to watch no longer available?

Streaming services rotate their content as licensing agreements expire. When a title leaves the service, it becomes unavailable to watch. You can add titles to your watchlist to get notified if they return later.
