Amazon does not charge anything extra for Watch Party and viewers can choose from thousands of movies and TV episodes included in Prime to enjoy with their friends.

This includes originals like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", "Jack Ryan", "Fleabag" and "My Spy", besides licensed titles available with an Amazon Prime Video subscription, The Verge reported on Monday. (IANS)
