Starz and BritBox launched a complementary bundle that allows new customers to easily access both digital platforms from a single subscription through Starz.com. A first-of-its-kind for the platform, the offering provides customers with a seamless way to access the vast, premium libraries of both networks. The launch coincides with the debut of a new series from Starz and BritBox, offering audiences access to Starz’s extensive lineup of premium action, thriller, and female-driven programming alongside BritBox’s expertly curated selection of classic and contemporary British television.
The direct-to-consumer bundle costs $14.99/month, a 25% savings for both apps. This standalone offering is a first-of-its-kind for STARZ, and soon, Starz subscribers will have the opportunity to curate a personalized bundle that aligns with their individual entertainment preferences. “Partnerships have always been key for us as a complementary premium service, and we are excited to now offer bundles through our own retail platform,” said Alison Hoffman, President, Starz Networks. “We believe this expanded offering adds value for adult audiences seeking prestige, high-quality premium programming and provides an incredibly seamless and low-friction consumer experience.”
“It’s a transformative time in the industry, but what audiences want remains the same: authentic, bold, exceptional storytelling,” said Robert Schildhouse, President, BritBox North America and General Manager, BritBox International. "BritBox is excited to launch its first-ever bundle with Starz , allowing us to introduce the inimitable qualities of British TV to a new audience."
