In the 100th year of MGM, MGM+ launched on Prime Video: The Lion roars again!

Iconic is the word that comes readily to mind. The circular logo through which the lion roars, before making way for the movie to follow, and the credo inscribed above it, in a band: Art Gratis Artis (Art for Art’s Sake, a principle many might question). MGM stood for Metro Goldwyn Mayer, itself a merger of three banners. The company was born in April 1924 out of a merger of Goldwyn Pictures, Louis B. Mayer productions and Metro Pictures. Falling into bad times, and worse, it was up for sale, 98 years later, and picked-up by Amazon, in 2022, for a reported price of 8.5 billion dollars. MGM+ is the new nomenclature for Epix, launched on October 30, 2009, 14 years ago, as Epix and acquired its new name, MGM+, on January 15, 2023.

Since MGM+’s entry into India a few days ago, you could Watch Legally Blonde, Hercules, The Silence of the Lambs, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Prodigy, The Silence of the Lambs, Robocop, The Vow, Child’s Play, Death Wish, and more, along with much-loved series like Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Teen Wolf, Get Shorty, among others.

It might also be time to pay tribute to MGM’s blockbusters. Remember these two?

MGM+ becomes the 23rd Channel to launch on Prime Video in India. A premium streaming service, MGM+ offers an expansive line-up of critically acclaimed series, blockbuster movies, and evergreen classics, available as an add-on subscription, only on Prime Video Channels, for ₹599 per year.
