The Initiative
“Obsession Is In Session” represents Prime Video’s strategic commitment to young adult audiences as core priority rather than afterthought.
The initiative brings together talent, creators, and influential cultural voices defining today’s entertainment landscape to create an ecosystem extending far beyond the screen. The approach acknowledges that YA audiences don’t merely consume content; they build communities around it, creating the fandom energy that drives cultural conversation.
The teaser trailer ushers in a season-long celebration of young adult storytelling featuring back-to-back premieres, immersive fan experiences, and cultural moments centered on the stories, creators, and communities shaping the next generation of entertainment.
Meeting YA audiences where they are, building meaningful connections between stories and the communities fans have created around them, the initiative recognizes that streaming success with this demographic requires engagement beyond passive viewing.

Obsessed Fest
The inaugural summer tentpole event transforms online fandom into live, participatory celebration.
Taking place June 27 at nya Studios in Los Angeles, Obsessed Fest offers an all-day immersive experience where fans can connect, discover, and engage with the Prime Original YA titles they love. Featured titles include Every Year After, The Love Hypothesis, Elle, Off Campus, Overcompensating, Your Fault: London, Drawn Together, and more.
The programming structure creates multiple engagement pathways:
Main Stage provides central programming hub featuring Welcome Assembly and live, talent-led sessions with exclusive footage and interactive fan moments. Cast and creator appearances give fans direct access to the people behind their obsessions.
Book Club offers literary lounge designed for deep dives into fan-favorite adaptations. Author signings, live conversations, workshops, and curated bookshelves create space for the book-to-screen pipeline Prime Video is cultivating. Fans are encouraged to BYOB (Bring Your Own Book).
Content Creation delivers cinematic content studios where fans can step into recreated scenes from key titles and capture personalized photo and video moments. The social-first design acknowledges that fans document and share their experiences.
Screenings, Merch, and Concessions extend the viewing experience into physical space through curated binges, exclusive merch drops, and food experiences inspired by on-screen moments.
Prime Book Club
Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios are spotlighting Prime Book Club, a global program extending the company’s book-to-screen storytelling pipeline.
Obsessed Fest serves as the program’s first live activation. Designed to amplify voices of authors, talent, and creators, Prime Book Club offers curated reading recommendations, behind-the-scenes content, live experiences, and social-first storytelling.
The program is expanding reach with dedicated social accounts (@PrimeBookClub) and activating the passionate BookTok community that has become a driving force in entertainment discovery. The acknowledgment of BookTok’s influence reflects how publishing and streaming have become intertwined, reader enthusiasm translating directly into viewer anticipation.
The Strategic Position
“Obsession Is In Session” positions Prime Video against competitors for the YA demographic that drives cultural conversation.
The initiative recognizes that young adult audiences don’t simply watch; they engage, create, discuss, and build communities. The ecosystem approach, combining streaming premieres with live events, book club programming, and social activation, meets this audience’s expectations for multi-platform engagement.
The book-to-screen pipeline particularly suits YA content, where beloved novels generate built-in audiences eager for adaptation. The Love Hypothesis‘s BookTok origins exemplify the trajectory Prime Video is systematizing through Prime Book Club.
Who Should Get Tickets
