Streaming guide JustWatch Group set its 30 major content partners for its Advertising-Based Video on Demand streaming service, JustWatch TV, which launched Tuesday.
Cineverse will serve as the content partner in the U.S. alongside Leonine Studios in Germany, SND in France and Altitude in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The companies join previously announced partners Paramount, New Regency, Fremantle, Bleecker Street and Vortex Media.
“The launch of JustWatch TV marks the most important new development in our company’s 12-year history, and it’s only the start,” says David Croyé, the founder and CEO of the JustWatch Group. “We called our company JustWatch because we wanted to make it easier for people to find and ‘just watch’ the movies and shows they love. From the beginning, our vision was to create a single platform that directs fans to all of their entertainment options in one place. JustWatch TV will help fill in the gaps and will make it easier for the massive JustWatch audience to discover and watch great movies and series, including those hard-to-find titles, right from the app itself.”
Available directly through the JustWatch apps and website, the streaming service offers free, rental and ad-free subscription options across 11 markets: the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.
JustWatch TV uses a model that enables viewers to watch media both directly on the platform or on their preferred streaming services. The streaming service also includes “Why to Watch” features, which analyzes data on what audiences are wanting to watch..
JustWatch Group is the operator of the world’s largest streaming guide, reaching 50 million global consumers.
