While the company has before shared trailers for its original programming and movies, along with TV spots, sneak peeks and other content on social media, it has never offered full episodes.

The now untitled Amazon/Yoshimoto Kogyo show will be about Japanese cuisine and have four, 40-minute-long episodes, during which Amazon Prime viewers can use their TV remotes to tap a “1-Click” icon to order certain products featured in the program. Amazon previously said it spent .3 billion on Prime Video content in 2014.

But children’s programming leads them all with the most available pilots, including Annedroids, Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street, Just Add Magic, Tumble Leaf, and Wishenpoof! . The company now has more than 26 million likes on Facebook, and 33 million subscribers on its YouTube channel. The competition with other offerings, like Netflix and Hulu, as well as niche rivals like Sling TV and HBO, is fierce when it comes to streaming video.
