Amazon and Lionsgate have struck a content deal in the UK.
The deal will see a wealth of Lionsgate and Starz content featured on Amazon streamer MGM+ including Outlander, Power Book and The Serpent Queen.
Lionsgate+ subscribers who joined via Prime Video Channels in the UK will now get access to the MGM service beginning in April. Later in May, the MGM service will be rebranded to MGM+ in the UK to align with the recent rebrand that occurred in Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. MGM+ is now available in 31 countries and is one of the most subscribed Prime Video Channels globally, according to Amazon.
“The expansion of MGM+ in the United Kingdom further cements Amazon’s commitment to invest in and grow the MGM+ channel internationally, while enhancing the content offering available to subscribers,” said Josh McIvor, global general manager, MGM+.
Chase Brisbin and Kathryn Ikenberry Jones negotiated the deal on behalf of Lionsgate.
