SkyShowtime will be intergrated directly into Movistar Plus+ when the Comcast-Paramount Global service launches next year.
Access to SkyShowtime’s content will be integrated as part of the platform’s main navigation and available on-demand.
The streaming service will make its entry into the Spanish market at the beginning of 2024.
Significantly, a new dedicated SkyShowtime linear channel will be launched featuring its new releases, films, and series. It will be included in the Ficción miMovistar package.
Movistar Plus+ will become the first Spanish operator to launch SkyShowtime.
Cristina Burzako, CEO of Movistar Plus+, said: “We are very happy with this agreement; on one hand, we welcome an international platform with high value and quality content, with a large number of attractive titles for our clients, which will be added to our integrated offer. On the other, we will be able to incorporate the new contents in a more accessible and intuitive way for our customers.”
Monty Sarhan, CEO of SkyShowtime, stated: “This is a momentous deal for both Movistar Plus+ and SkyShowtime and we are proud to be bringing our amazing entertainment to even more subscribers in Spain. Our agreement demonstrates the importance and strength of partnerships and how we can work together to drive value for our respective businesses.”
Among the titles coming to Movistar Plus+’s clients in 2024 are Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, a series starring Oscar winner Kevin Costner, 1923, starring Oscar nominee Harrison Ford and Oscar winner Helen Mirren, and Tulsa King, starring Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone, along with Sheridan’s new series, Special Ops: Lioness, starring Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira, Michael Kelly, and Oscar winners Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman.
