Amazon Announces MGM+ Will Continue Its International Expansion Through Strategic Content Deal with Lionsgate in the UK




The partnership will deliver premium LIONSGATE and STARZ television series and movies to MGM+ subscribers in the UK

MGM+ will be the exclusive home to the complete Outlander franchise in the UK

Today, Amazon announced that MGM+ has struck a strategic deal that will deliver premium Lionsgate and STARZ programming to customers in the UK. Under this partnership, the MGM-branded service will offer leading series and movies from Lionsgate and STARZ in the UK, giving customers access to more hit series and movies. This is the third instalment in a series of content deals that MGM+ previously closed with Lionsgate for Europe and Latin America.

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 United States. MGM+ is now available in 31 countries and is one of the most subscribed Prime Video Channels globally.

MGM+ in the UK will become the exclusive home to some of STARZ’s most popular first-run TV series, including the complete Outlander franchise, Power Book I-IV, BMF, The Serpent Queen, P-Valley, and Hightown. Additionally, the MGM+ service will become the home to legacy hit series The Great, Mad Men, Nashville, Weeds, as well as blockbuster hit movies American Psycho, Reservoir Dogs, Saw, and many more favourites.

“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+.

“The addition of premium first-run TV franchises such as Outlander and Power, along with many blockbuster hit movies, will allow MGM+ to continue its evolution as a premium international streaming service,” said Michael Katzer, head of MGM+ International.

“We are pleased to extend our partnership with MGM+ to bring beloved films and television series to the service in the United Kingdom,” said Agapy Kapouranis, Lionsgate president of international television and digital distribution. “With the addition of the United Kingdom, Lionsgate and STARZ content will now be available to MGM+ viewers in more than 20 countries around the world.”

Chase Brisbin and Kathryn Ikenberry Jones negotiated the deal on behalf of Lionsgate.

The Hidden Review: Pandoro, mutuo e Maradona - Recensione Teatro

Image
  Il team di The Hidden Review è stato presente alla prima teatrale dello spettacolo prodotto da “La Compagnia di Antonino” dal titolo Pandoro, Mutuo e Maradona, con la regia di Antonino Laudicina. Questa compagnia teatrale ha molto prestigio ed è acclamata in teatro da anni per la presentazione di spettacoli molto vivaci anche quando presenta temi e copioni particolarmente difficili. La Compagnia di Antonino quest’anno ha portato in scena, per il suo pubblico, uno spettacolo inedito scritto e realizzato da ASAAMA, che ha debuttato dal 1 al 3 dicembre al Teatro Immacolata. L’idea prende spunto da uno dei pilastri del teatro di Eduardo, Natale in Casa Cupiello, scritto e diretto dallo stesso Eduardo De Filippo, regista/attore più acclamato del teatro napoletano e ambientato a Napoli nel 1931. Lo spettacolo Pandoro, Mutuo e Maradona, cala il Natale in casa Cupiello in una versione contemporanea, con un'ambientazione diversa e una diversa scomposizione dei personaggi, che mette in mo

The Hidden Review: Bonding - Theatre Review

Image
  The THR has watched a one-man show called 'Bonding', written and performed by Cyril Blake at The Hen & Chickens Theatre, which played three nights as part of the Camden Fringe. Blake plays Stephen Lewis, a self-confessed 'struggling' actor who loves James Bond; a love which he has inherited from his dad. It is a beautifully told story that deals with the special moments and sometimes challenging bond within the relationship between dads and sons. Blake's character talks to the audience in an energetic and often humorous manner, and asks the audience questions about their knowledge of the Bond franchise with great banter and rapport. Throughout the play, there are references to James Bond's character, and even if one isn't a fan, it enthuses and enlightens. The part when he recounts going to see the Bond films with his dad after his mother's death is touching as he pretends there's 'something in his eye' as he doesn't want to show he
