The partnership will deliver premium LIONSGATE and STARZ television series and movies to MGM+ international subscribers in Latin America.
LONDON—December 18, 2023—Today, Amazon announced that MGM+ has struck a content licensing deal with Lionsgate, delivering premium Lionsgate and STARZ programming to MGM+ in Latin America. Under this arrangement, MGM+ will offer leading series and movies from Lionsgate and STARZ across Latin America, giving customers access to more hit series and movies at no extra cost to their current MGM+ subscription.
Current legacy [LIONSGATE+] subscribers who joined via Prime Video Channels in Brazil and Mexico will now get access to the MGM service beginning in January. In early 2024, the MGM service will be rebranded to MGM+ across Latin America to align with the recent rebrand that occurred in the European Union and United States. Currently, MGM+ is the second highest ranking Prime Video Channel in the European Union.
MGM+ in Latin America will become the exclusive home to some of Lionsgate and STARZ’s most popular TV series, including Power, Power Book I-IV, Black Mafia Family, The Serpent Queen, and Spartacus. Additionally, the MGM+ service will become the home to blockbuster movie franchises The Hunger Games, Kill Bill, Saw, Twilight, and the films of Tyler Perry, and the legacy hit series Mad Men, Nashville, Weeds, and many more fan favorites.
“The expansion of MGM+ in the Latin American market further cements Amazon’s commitment to invest in and grow the MGM+ brand, and to enhance the subscriber experience,” said Chris Brearton, vice president, Prime Video Studios corporate strategy. “We look forward to expanding our reach by introducing an extensive library of hit TV series from the popular Power and Black Mafia Family franchies to a rich catalogue of films, including The Hunger Games and John Wick to additional audiences worldwide.”
“We are pleased to extend our partnership with MGM+ to bring beloved films and television series to the service in Latin America,” said Agapy Kapouranis, Lionsgate president of international television and digital distribution. “With the addition of the Latin American market, Lionsgate and STARZ content will now be available to MGM+ viewers in 24 countries around the world.”
