Rakuten TV is launching multiple FAST Channels on Amazon Prime Video across Germany, Spain and Italy.
Three Rakuten TV owned and operated (O&O) FAST Channels – Rakuten TV Romance, Planet Action and 21 Jump Street – have launched in Germany, while O&O channel Alerta Cobra will launch in Spain in the coming weeks. Alerta Cobra will also launch in Italy. Further channels and new European markets are expected to follow, reinforcing the pan-European scope of the agreement.
Through the collaboration, announced at Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC) in Barcelona, Rakuten TV continues to expand the reach of its FAST offering across Europe, while accelerating the growth of its B2B business division, Rakuten TV Enterprise. The collaboration with Prime Video introduces a new pathway for Rakuten TV’s FAST channels enhancing their visibility and accessibility for audiences across multiple European markets, according to the streaming platform.
As part of the European agreement, three FAST Channels are already available on Prime Video in the German market:
All Romance: A film-led FAST channel featuring international and local romance titles, available on Prime Video in Germany and Austria.
Planet Action: A curated mix of international and local action films focused on high-energy entertainment, available on Prime Video in Germany and Austria.
21 Jump Street: A dedicated FAST Channel based on the cult TV series, blending action, comedy and crime, as undercover police officers investigate high schools and colleges – available in Germany.
In the coming weeks, the Alerta Cobra FAST Channel will launch in both Spain and Italy on Prime Video. The high-octane action channel is based on German TV series Alarm für Cobra 11 and follows an elite police unit through explosive stunts, high-speed chases and crime investigations.
“Our strategic collaboration with Prime Video marks a significant step in expanding the reach of our channels and maximising the revenue opportunities for our rights-holder partners. It also demonstrates the value that Rakuten TV Enterprise brings by anticipating Amazon’s content needs and simplifying the process of launching channels on this exciting and important platform,” said Sidharth Jayant, Chief Product Officer at Rakuten TV.
Beyond its own streaming service, Rakuten TV’s FAST Channels are distributed on platforms including Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Hisense VIDAA, TCL Channels, Xiaomi TV+, Free and Netgem.
