JioHotstar, India's streaming service, has expanded its reach to the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore, launching services in these international markets on September 2. The new platform, JioHotstar, is set to replace the existing Hotstar service in these regions, offering subscribers over 160,000 hours of content in more than 12 Asian languages, along with subtitles, dubbing, personalized recommendations, and interactive features.
Existing Hotstar subscribers will retain their login credentials on the new platform, with subscription plans converting seamlessly to the corresponding JioHotstar tier. However, new subscribers will not have access to monthly plans in any of the three markets. Pricing in the new markets is as follows: £19.99 per quarter or £69.99 annually in the UK, C$19.99 per quarter or C$49.99 annually in Canada, and S$29.98 per quarter or S$69.98 annually in Singapore.
The service will not feature live sports, such as the Indian Premier League, Women's Premier League, and Indian cricket team matches, due to existing content rights arrangements. The company plans to add over 30,000 hours of fresh content annually across the three markets and will expand into additional international markets in the future.
