Then, on December 15th, 2016, it happened- Amazon Studio went global, true to the words of the crew of ''The Grand Tour''. Overnight, suddenly over 200 countries have access to a library of Amazon original content, including ''The Grand Tour'' and ''Creative Galaxy''. However, global coverage is spotty at this time, with only a small sampling of shows and movies available compared to the other countries which got access earlier. However, the outlook is bright and many are expecting more content to become available in time. Amazon is even giving these countries a lower Prime subscription cost to compensate for the lack of content. Global subscribers also need to use [[http://www.primevideo.com a different URL]] to access the content as opposed to those in countries where the service was launched earlier. Still, it is a good sign.

It should be worth noting that like Creator/{{Hulu}} and Creator/{{Netflix}} (before the latter went worldwide in January 2016), [[NoExportForYou Amazon's streaming service is only available in certain countries, like the UK, US, Germany, Austria and Japan]].

The cast of ''The Grand Tour'' announced on social media that the series will be available for viewing in over 200 countries come December 2016. This was followed shortly by a press release from Amazon stating that they're preparing to launch localized versions of their webstore in Asia-Pacific countries in early 2017. Many speculators were quick to put two and two together but, at this point, it remains pure speculation on whether they'd really do it and if ''The Grand Tour'' cast and crew were mistaken.

Breaking away from their pilot-testing model, ''Crisis in Six Scenes'', a series made by Creator/WoodyAllen has been ordered and is scheduled to premiere in 2016, with Allen directing and writing all episodes of the show. They also rescued ''Series/RipperStreet'' [[UnCancelled from cancellation]], and are also moving into film production, helping to finance ''Chi-Raq'' for Creator/SpikeLee and ''The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'' for Creator/TerryGilliam. They also paid a pretty penny for three series of ''Series/TheGrandTour'', a show starring the former presenters of the Creator/{{BBC}}car series ''Series/TopGear''.
