JustWatch Group, the owner of the world's largest streaming guide, will unveil its own streaming platform called JustWatch TV in October, the company revealed on Tuesday during TIFF: The Market. This service will be accessible directly through the JustWatch app and website, platforms frequently utilized by users seeking information on where specific movies or TV series can be streamed.
The streaming service will offer a mix of free ad-supported viewing, transactional rental choices, and an ad-free subscription tier simultaneously. It will commence with partnerships from key content providers including Paramount, New Regency, Fremantle, Bleecker Street, and Vortex Media. JustWatch TV will be accessible across the United States & Canada, the UK & Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand.
JustWatch Group, a content partner of TheWrap's powering our What to Watch page, has more than 50 million monthly users who utilize the site and app not only to discover where content is streaming but also to track watched and to-be-watched titles. Leveraging this streaming interest, JustWatch aims to drive users to its own streaming service.
According to a press release, JustWatch TV "offers a unique model that both encourages consumers to discover titles and watch them directly on JustWatch, or on their preferred streaming services globally." JustWatch TV aims to simplify content discovery and access, aligning with the company's mission since its inception over a decade ago to connect fans with their favorite films and shows, especially those that are hard to find or unavailable elsewhere.
Quentin Carbonell, JustWatch's SVP of Global Content Acquisitions and Strategy, stated that JustWatch TV is crafted to address the current fragmentation in the industry, providing a direct solution to users. The service will curate popular films and TV hits along with lesser-known titles, available for free or rent on JustWatch, or easily accessible on preferred streaming platforms.
