Amazon’s Prime Video is promising to make English-language dubs look more natural by using AI to sync up the way the actors’ mouths move on screen.

The feature will be available first on “Maxton Hall,” the German-language romance that is Prime Video’s most-watched international original series to date. Lip-sync dubs are available starting Wednesday on “Maxton Hall” Seasons 1 and 2 globally in English and will also be included when the third and final season of the show releases on Prime Video on Dec. 9. The upcoming Season 3 is based on the 2018 novel “Save Me” by Mona Kasten.
