JustWatch Launches Own Streaming Service JustWatch TV
Developing
In Short: JustWatch, the streaming guide known for its comprehensive listings, is entering the content production space with its new service, JustWatch TV, set to launch in October.
Tech giant JustWatch is expanding its reach into the streaming market with the launch of JustWatch TV, a new service that will offer a range of TV shows and movies from select distributors and production houses.
Available in October, the service will feature three options: a free ad-based streaming service, titles available for rent or purchase, and a paid subscription offering. Initial content partners include Fremantle, Paramount, and Bleecker Street.
JustWatch TV will integrate seamlessly with the existing JustWatch platform, providing users with a one-stop solution for content discovery and access. If a title isn't available on JustWatch TV, the app will direct users to other platforms like Hulu or Netflix.
The service will launch in the US and several European countries, including France, Germany, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand, marking a significant step for JustWatch in the competitive streaming landscape.
David Croyé, founder and CEO of the JustWatch Group, stated, 'With the launch of JustWatch TV, we aim to make content discovery, access, and engagement even easier.' This move builds on the company's core mission of helping viewers find the titles they want to watch.
What's confirmed
- JustWatch TV will first roll out in the US, along with France, Germany, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.
What's still developing
- The company shared the news during an appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival on Tuesday, where Quentin Carbonell, JustWatch’s senior VP of global content and strategy, said JustWatch TV will be available in October.
- Because it’s built into the existing JustWatch website and app, functionality from the company’s ubiquitous streaming guide will be part of the streaming service itself.
- The JustWatch Group, which is known for its streaming guide, is launching its own ad-supported and transactional service.
- JustWatch, which was founded in 2014, announced the launch of JustWatch TV on Tuesday at the Toronto Film Festival’s new market.
- We use vendors that may also process your information to help provide our services.
- This site is protected by reCAPTCHA Enterprise and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
- One of the biggest problems frequently cited with streaming services is that consumers simply do not know where to find the movies and shows they want to watch.
- Now though JustWatch is launching its own streaming service so that instead of searching for a title and coming up empty, ideally you can watch or rent that title right there.
