SkyShowtime, the European streaming joint venture of Comcast and Paramount Global, will become available through Prime Video Channels for the first time across four markets, namely Spain, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden. The partnership kicks off starting in July.
“This deal enables us to expand our reach in some of our key markets, giving Amazon customers access to our exclusive series, blockbuster films, and local original programming,” said SkyShowtime CEO Monty Sarhan.
“SkyShowtime’s diverse portfolio will be a fantastic addition to our service, bringing even more choice to Prime members in these countries and building on our ambition to become the first entertainment destination for our customers,” said Julian Monaghan, director of channels for Prime Video in Europe.
The Spain partnership will start as of July 1 and arrive “later” in the other three territories, according to the companies. “Prime customers will be able to subscribe to the channel for: €7.99 ($8.54) in Spain, €8.99 ($9.61) in the Netherlands, 24.99 Polish zloty ($6.20) in Poland, and 99 Swedish krona ($9.34) per month through their existing Amazon accounts, with the option to cancel anytime. In addition, SkyShowtime will launch in Spain with a two-week introductory offer of 50 percent off for three months for customers who subscribe via Prime Video during the Prime Day period that ends on July 17.
