Prime Video Signs Multi-Year Deal With Leonine Studios for Films Including ‘The Hunger Games’ Prequel

Prime Video has entered into a multi-year agreement with Leonine Studios in Germany and Austria, securing access to a wide slate of films, including upcoming titles such as The Housemaid, The Drama, and The Hunger Games–Sunrise on the Reaping.

The deal reflects a broader trend of streaming platforms strengthening ties with local production and distribution companies. Under the agreement, Prime Video will acquire all films from Leonine’s theatrical slate with release dates starting 1 January 2026, along with six months of exclusive subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) rights in the pay 2 window. The arrangement also includes a selection of library titles.

The partnership brings a mix of international and regional content to the platform. Alongside major Hollywood releases like The Housemaid and The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, and The Hunger Games – Sunrise on the Reaping, the deal also covers German productions such as Ein Fast Perfekter Antrag. Library titles included in the agreement feature franchises like Asterix and Obelix, The Expendables, and John Wick.

Prime Video and Leonine have previously collaborated on projects such as the docuseries Brabus: One Second Wow, and the new agreement extends that relationship into a broader content partnership.

Leonine CEO Fred Kogel said, “We are very pleased to continue our long-standing, successful collaboration with such a great partner as Prime Video in the coming years. The agreement, which includes our current major box office hit The Housemaid as the first film, underscores the outstanding quality of our programming and the confidence Prime Video continues to place in us as a top-tier content provider.”

Andreas Hartmann, Head of Licensing and Co-Production at Prime Video Germany, added, “With this multi-year agreement, we’re bringing high-quality feature films and premium content exclusively to our customers in Germany and Austria—from international blockbusters to successful German productions. This underscores our commitment to establishing Prime Video as the leading streaming service for premium entertainment.”

Leonine Studios, owned by Mediawan, produces and distributes films and television content and also operates production companies including Beetz Brothers and Wiedemann & Berg Film.

The agreement comes as global streaming platforms increasingly partner with local broadcasters and studios across Europe. Recent deals include Prime Video’s collaboration with France Télévisions and Disney+’s partnership with ZDF in Germany, highlighting a growing emphasis on regional content alliances.
