MAY 22, 2024 – Prime Experience has concluded its biggest year ever with another successful lineup of special events, screenings, and panels. Prime Experience ran from April 25, 2024 through May 20, 2024 and featured nearly 20 FYC events tied to Prime Video’s biggest series and specials. Thousands of TV Academy voters visited the Prime Experience home base at Nya West in Hollywood with additional events taking place around Los Angeles and in New York City.
This year’s Prime Experience installation allowed guests to be transported to the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout, the Hong Kong night market of Expats, the West Village brownstone of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Gen V’s Godolkin University campus. Voters had the chance to experience the blue-ribbon production design, cinematography, visual effects, casting, music, and hair & makeup that go into the craftsmanship of these series. Additional exhibits at Prime Experience featured writing, with life-sized manuscript pages from beloved titles like Red, White & Royal Blue and I’m A Virgo; a costume gallery highlighting 16 costumes including The Wheel of Time and a pair of listening booths highlighting music and comedy clips from Jim Gaffigan: Dark Pale, Jenny Slate: Seasoned Professional, and Tig Notaro: Hello Again.
Underscoring its commitment to community, this year, Prime Video aligned with Hollywood Food Coalition to donate the remaining perishable items from the event. This partnership ensures the event’s impact extends beyond the entertainment industry to support those in need.
