Summary

  • Prime Video has rolled out AI lip-sync dubbing for seasons 1 and 2 of German series Maxton Hall, aligning actors’ mouth movements with the English dub for subscribers globally.
  • Amazon said the feature combines AI with visual-effects tools to match lip movements to translated speech while keeping the underlying dub human-recorded.
  • The rollout is limited to Maxton Hall for now, but Prime Video plans to extend the technology to additional titles and use it again when the show’s third season arrives on December 9.
  • The launch builds on Prime Video’s 2025 test of AI-aided dubbing across 12 films and series, as Meta and YouTube also push AI dubbing with lip-sync options.
