  • Prime Video has expanded ASL and BSL interpretation to 18 more Amazon Originals, bringing the total supported titles to over 20.
  • With on‑screen interpreters conveying tone, emotion, and nuance, sign‑language‑interpreted versions offer a more immersive experience than captions alone.
  • Users can easily find supported titles by searching ASL, BSL, or Sign Language on Prime Video, or by browsing the Accessible Movies and TV collection in the U.S.

Amazon already offers a variety of accessibility features with many of its services, including Dialogue Boost on Prime Video and Screen Magnifier on Fire TV.

While sign language interpretation on Prime Video was another already available accessibility feature, the supported list of titles was a little minimal.

That’s now changed thanks to the addition of American Sign Language and British Sign Language support for another 18 titles, including the following Amazon Originals.

  • After the Hunt
  • Heads of State
  • Hedda
  • The Idea of You
  • Merv
  • Red One
  • Red, White & Royal Blue

Sign language interpretation for these titles is available in both ASL and BSL, and can be viewed globally across all devices.

For those interested in giving the expanded support a try, the full list of supported titles can be found on the Prime Video website or by searching for ASL, BSL, or Sign Language when searching Prime Video for titles to watch.

When watching a title with sign language interpretation, Prime Video users can expect a more immersive viewing experience than with traditional captions alone, thanks to an on-screen interpreter who captures tone and emotion with facial expressions and body language.

If interested in making use of Prime Video’s other accessibility features, users in the US can view all titles filtered by accessibility feature type in the Accessible Movies and TV collection on Prime Video.
