MGM+ is described in Amazon’s current entertainment overview as both a linear and streaming service with original series, docuseries and films. Older links may still use EPIX, the previous brand. Amazon’s official rebrand account places the change to MGM+ in January 2023.
That history is useful when a saved address or an older program review sends you toward EPIX. Start with the current MGM+ identity, then find the particular series, documentary or film rather than treating the old and new names as two unrelated catalogs.

Use the title to bridge an older reference
An older article may identify a series as an EPIX original. The historical label can help locate the program, but it does not establish its current availability or a new episode’s release date. Search for the complete title under MGM+ and check the current program information.
For a continuing drama, keep the season and episode as part of that search. A promotional feature about an earlier season can remain visible long after later installments appear. The brand change explains the different name without answering every title-level question.
Original series and films require different choices
Amazon’s current overview names originals including FROM and The Institute while also describing films and docuseries. Those examples establish a range of programming, not one continuous format or a promise that all titles appear on every channel feed.
If you want to follow a serialized story, use the series and episode listing so you can begin at the intended point. If you want a standalone film, verify the film’s complete title and version. A collection page is helpful for browsing, while the individual title page is the better reference for the selection you actually plan to watch.
Linear and streaming do not mean the same start point
A linear feed has a running order; an on-demand selection begins from its own available title listing. MGM+ is described with both roles, so choose the one that matches your intention. Joining the running channel can mean joining a film already in progress.
For a scheduled viewing with another person, retain the specific channel label, title and listed date. For a solo episode catch-up, retain the series, season and episode. That distinction remains useful even when both routes carry the same MGM+ branding and the same program appears in search results for each.
Useful answers
Why do some MGM+ references still say EPIX?
Amazon’s official account says EPIX relaunched as MGM+ in January 2023. Older program coverage can retain the previous brand name.
Does a film in an MGM+ catalog identify its current linear airing?
No. A catalog identifies a selected title. Use the specific channel’s dated schedule for a running television showing.
