Starting next month Canal+ is to offer Netflix to subscribers to its Cine/Series package.
Debuting on October 15, it will initially be a part of Canal’s packages in France, but under the agreement with the US streamer it’s intended to expand the offer at a later date starting with Poland.
Maxime Saada, CEO, Canal+ Group, said: “We are very pleased to partner with Netflix to offer our subscribers the richest cinema and series offer on the market. This offer complements our general proposition of recent cinema, major live sports events, world-class series, including our original series, and consolidate our role of as an aggregator of content and services. ”
The new exclusive pack will include the Netflix Standard Offer (featuring 2 screens and the HD option) at a cost of €15 per month.
The offer is similar to Sky’s Ultimate On Demand that’s priced at £12 per month.
Reed Hastings, Founder and CEO of Netflix, said, “We share the same passion for entertainment and this partnership will make it easier for CANAL + subscribers to access the Netflix experience – all in one subscription.”
Canal+ subscribers already subscribing to Netflix will be able to subscribe to the new pack and enjoy all their video services in one subscription. Canal+ subscribers who would like to subscribe only to Netflix can also do so on their most recent decoders.
