New Streaming Service Alert: JustWatch Is Starting Its Own Platform
You’ll be able to watch an assortment of TV shows and movies from select distributors and production houses.
JustWatch, the popular streaming guide that helps users locate movies, TV shows, and sports events, is set to launch its own streaming service called JustWatch TV. The company announced the new platform during a presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival, with senior VP of global content and strategy Quentin Carbonell revealing that JustWatch TV will debut in October.
Three options await users: a free ad-based streaming service, a library of titles available for rent or purchase, and a subscription-based plan. Upon launch, the platform will feature content from various providers such as Fremantle, Paramount, and Bleecker Street. Users will be able to stream directly within the app, even if a title isn't available on JustWatch TV itself; the app will indicate where else it can be viewed.
JustWatch TV will initially launch in several countries, including the US, France, Germany, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand, with plans to expand its offerings and regional availability in the future. The pricing for the paid version remains undisclosed, but it will exclusively offer movies without commercial interruptions. Meanwhile, the free, ad-supported option will include both TV shows and movies.
