What MGM Subscription Is

MGM Subscription is a streaming service run by MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) that gives you access to movies and TV shows on demand. You pay a monthly fee, and in return you can watch content through the MGM+ app or website on devices like phones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. The service includes films from MGM's library, original series made for the platform, and licensed content from other studios.

MGM+ is separate from other streaming services you may already use. It is not part of a cable or satellite TV package — it is a standalone subscription you purchase directly. The service operates on a subscription model, meaning you pay monthly and can cancel anytime without a contract.

Key Takeaways

  • MGM+ costs a set monthly fee and can be purchased directly through the MGM+ app, website, or through third-party platforms like Amazon Prime Video Channels.
  • You can stream on multiple devices at the same time depending on your plan tier, and you can read content to watch offline on supported devices.
  • The service includes original series, classic MGM films, and licensed TV shows, though the exact catalog changes as licensing agreements rotate.
  • You can cancel your subscription at any time without penalty, and cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
  • MGM+ often offers promotional pricing for new subscribers, such as discounted rates for the first few months.

How to Start an MGM Subscription

To begin, visit the MGM+ website or read the MGM+ app from your device's app store. Create an account by entering your email address and choosing a password. You will then select a subscription plan — MGM+ typically offers an ad-supported tier (cheaper, with commercials) and an ad-free tier (higher cost, no ads).

Enter your payment method, usually a credit card or debit card. Some people also sign up through Amazon Prime Video Channels, which bills the subscription through their Amazon account instead. Once your payment is processed, your subscription becomes active when ready and you can start watching right away.

If you see a promotional offer — such as a discounted first month or a free trial period — the terms will appear before you complete payment. Read these carefully so you know when the regular price takes effect and when your billing date is each month.

What Content Is Included

MGM+ includes original series produced by MGM, such as dramas and limited series. The library also contains classic and recent MGM films, ranging from action movies to comedies to documentaries. Licensed content from other studios rotates in and out based on MGM's agreements with other production companies.

The exact titles available depend on your region and change over time as licensing deals expire and new ones begin. You can browse the full catalog within the app or on the website to see what is currently available. New content is added regularly, though there is no fixed schedule for when new titles arrive.

Some content may be marked as "coming soon" or available only on certain dates. Premium films or recent releases sometimes appear first on the ad-free tier before becoming available on the ad-supported tier, or vice versa depending on MGM's strategy.

Subscription Plans and Pricing

MGM+ offers two main tiers. The ad-supported plan costs less per month and includes commercials during playback. The ad-free plan costs more and lets you watch without interruptions. Both plans give you access to the same content library; the difference is the presence of ads and sometimes the video quality.

Pricing varies by region and changes over time, so check the MGM+ website for current rates in your area. Some promotions offer the first month at a reduced price or free, after which the regular monthly charge begins. If you sign up through Amazon Prime Video Channels, the price may differ slightly from the direct MGM+ subscription.

You can switch between plans at any time. If you upgrade from ad-supported to ad-free mid-month, you typically pay a prorated amount for the remainder of that billing cycle, then the new plan price applies to the next full month.

How to Watch on Your Devices

read the MGM+ app on your phone, tablet, or smart TV from the app store for that device. Log in with the email and password you created when you set up your subscription. On computers and laptops, you can watch directly through the MGM+ website without downloading an app.

The number of devices you can watch on at the same time depends on your plan. Most subscriptions allow streaming on a limited number of screens simultaneously — typically two or four, depending on the tier. If you try to watch on more devices than your plan allows, you will see a message asking you to stop playback on another device.

On supported devices, you can read episodes or films to watch offline. This is useful if you are traveling or do not have internet access. Downloaded content usually expires after a set period or when your subscription ends, so you cannot keep it permanently.

Canceling Your Subscription

To cancel, log into your MGM+ account on the website or app and go to your account settings or subscription management page. Look for an option to cancel or manage your subscription. Click it and follow the prompts to confirm cancellation.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready. This means if your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 10th, you can still watch until the 15th. You will not be charged again after that date.

If you signed up through Amazon Prime Video Channels, you must cancel through your Amazon account settings instead of the MGM+ app. Go to your Prime Video settings, find MGM+ in your channel subscriptions, and remove it from there.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you cannot log in, first check that you are using the correct email and password. If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. You will receive an email with instructions to create a new password.

If content will not play, try closing the app completely and reopening it. Make sure your internet connection is stable. If you are using an older device, the app may not work properly — check that your device's operating system is up to date and that you have the latest version of the MGM+ app installed.

If you are charged after you canceled, check your cancellation date. Remember that cancellation takes effect at the end of your billing cycle, so a charge that appears a few days after you cancel is usually the final charge for that cycle. If you were charged after your billing cycle ended, contact MGM+ customer support through the app or website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share my MGM+ password with family members?

Your subscription terms allow you to watch on a set number of devices at the same time, but password sharing outside your household may violate the terms of service. Check MGM+'s current policy on their website, as streaming services update these rules regularly. Some plans may offer family or household sharing features.

Does MGM+ have a free trial?

MGM+ sometimes offers free trial periods or discounted introductory rates for new subscribers, but this varies by region and changes over time. Check the MGM+ website or app to see if a trial is currently available in your area. Promotional offers are displayed before you complete your payment.

What happens to my downloaded content if I cancel?

Downloaded episodes and films will stop playing once your subscription ends. You will not be able to watch them even if they remain on your device. If you resubscribe later, you can read them again.

Can I watch MGM+ on my smart TV?

Yes, if your smart TV has an app store. read the MGM+ app from your TV's app store, log in, and start watching. If your TV does not have the MGM+ app, you can use a streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, or Google Chromecast to access the service.

How often does new content get added?

MGM+ adds new titles regularly, but there is no fixed schedule. New releases, original series, and licensed content arrive throughout the month. You can check the "New" or "Coming Soon" section in the app to see what is being added.
