Who are StudioCanal?
StudioCanal originated as a production company creating French and European content for the French pay TV channel Canal+. In recent decades, the company has expanded internationally and now supports a growing library of movies and TV series. Until now, many of its titles were available through third-party streaming services. In line with other major content owners, it has decided to launch its own direct-to-consumer streaming service.
Speaking of the UK launch, Alex Hamilton, CEO for StudioCanal, commented:
“We are thrilled to be taking this new step into the streaming market, opening up our wide-ranging and hugely diverse film and TV library to audiences through the Apple TV app. Month on month, we’ll be continuing to add both contemporary and classic titles for subscribers to discover, delivering on the range and quality that audiences associate with StudioCanal.”
