MIPCOM 2018 – CANNES. AMC Networks is further expanding its direct-to-consumer premium streaming services, Shudder and Sundance Now.
Both services, which offer curated streaming experiences, original content, and deep libraries, will launch in Australia and New Zealand later this year. The service is already available in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany and Austria.
“Our continued expansion of Shudder and Sundance Now speaks to our success in offering audiences exclusive and original content they can’t get anywhere else along with an unparalleled user experience,” said Paul Rehrig, EVP of Business Development for AMC Networks.
“We look forward to introducing both services into these new markets as consumer demand for our curated streaming offerings continues to grow.”
Shudder is a streaming service for both casual and super fans of thriller, suspense and horror content. Sundance Now, which builds on the legacy of Robert Redford’s Sundance brand, offers original and exclusive dramas and true crime series, in addition to award-winning movies from every genre, including foreign-language and documentary features.
