Leonine Studios CEO Fred Kogel said: “It’s fantastic that we can expand our long-standing partnership with Prime Video by this agreement and achieve another important milestone for our licensing business with premium content. In addition to our strong production collaboration, which includes series like ‘FC Bayern: Behind the Legend,’ ‘The Gryphon’ and ‘One Mic Stand,’ Prime Video can now offer its customers the top selection of local and international premium titles from our portfolio over the coming years.”
Christoph Schneider, MD of Prime Video Germany said: “We are happy to expand the cooperation between Leonine Studios and Prime Video to the benefit of our Prime members. They can look forward to highlights such as “Moonfall” with Halle Berry, “John Wick 4” with Keanu Reeves and “Dog” with Channing Tatum and also have access to numerous films from Leonine Studios’ extensive catalog. It is simply great to be a Prime member.”
The deal follows Leonine Studios securing all German and Austrian rights for Lionsgate’s upcoming film slate.
