Starz-owned streaming platform Lionsgate+ is launching on Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Sky Q in the UK, effective immediately.

Later this year, the app will also make its debut on Sky Q and Sky Glass in Italy and Sky Q in Germany.

Customers in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Italy will be able to subscribe, for £5.99/€4.99 a month, to a library that includes political thriller Gaslit, time travel saga Outlander, along with period dramas The Serpent Queen and the upcoming Dangerous Liaisons.

Other key titles include The Girl From Plainville, The Great and a range of blockbuster fan-favourite movies added to the platform every month.

“Partnering with Sky is a key strategy in strengthening Lionsgate+’s presence in Europe and will give even more subscribers access to our massive offering of curated content,” said Superna Kalle, president, international networks for Starz. “We look forward to strengthening our relationship with viewers who share our commitment to delivering audiences exceptional content paired with a premium user experience.”
