Money, money, money, money. We all remember the theme music that opened NBC’s smash hit reality series, The Apprentice, and now, fans of the series can hear it all over again with the news that the show is heading to Prime Video as of today, with the Amazon streamer announcing that it will have Season 1 all the way through to Season 7 available on demand. The series, which was hosted by US President Donald Trump for 14 seasons, will release a new season weekly, with one dropping every Monday through April 27.
This isn’t the first time The Apprentice has been made available to stream. All 15 seasons were previously hosted on Tubi beginning in 2019, though they have since been removed, but now, Amazon has decided the time is right to bring the series back to view, starting from the very beginning. In a statement, President Trump, who hosted the series for 14 seasons, expressed excitement about its return:
“I look forward to watching this show myself—such great memories, and so much fun, but most importantly, it was a learning experience for all of us!”
What Is ‘The Apprentice’ About?
The series, created by legendary producer Mark Burnett and MGM Alternative (a division of Amazon MGM Studios), followed 16 contestants competing in business-related challenges for a coveted position at one of Trump’s companies, along with a $250,000 salary. The show quickly became a cultural phenomenon, averaging 20 million viewers per episode in its debut season and running for nearly 200 episodes across 15 seasons.
Originally, The Apprentice in its first form—regular people competing for a job—ran for seven seasons, beginning with Seasons 1 through 6, and then Season 10. The show then transitioned into The Celebrity Apprentice, which lasted eight more seasons. Trump was the host of every season of the series until the last produced in 2017. That one was led by Arnold Schwarzenegger following Trump’s decision to run for president. Burnett, who also produced Survivor, also released a statement:
“The charismatic onscreen presence of President Donald J. Trump made it a bona fide hit! Now, thanks to Prime Video, a whole new audience will experience a new season every Monday.”
The streamer has also signed an exclusive licensing deal for an upcoming documentary about First Lady Melania Trump, which is set to debut later this year. The Apprentice will drop new seasons every Monday through April 27 on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
