It is just beginning to be available to the four corners of the planet, gradually increasing its number of subscribers:it is the discreet paid VoD platform StarzPlay . What exactly does it offer? We explain everything to you.
Since their advent, SVoD platforms keep multiplying. But if some are well known to everyone, like Netflix , Prime Video , OCS or Disney+ , others remain more confidential. This is the case of StarzPlay , launched by the American cable channel Starz (Power , Spartacus , Outlander ) and operated by Lionsgate studio . You may have seen it among the paid channels of Amazon's video-on-demand service . It now has its own application in France since 2019.
To access the StarzPlay platform , it is necessary to subscribe . The trial period is fourteen days, then 4.99 euros per month are taken. A cheaper price than its competitors, and for good reason, it does not have such a dense catalog — although some programs are worth checking out. It also offers fewer languages for viewing and subtitling its films and series. Finally, the service can be considered as a complementary offer , much like its French antagonist Salto .
You will understand, StarzPlay is less extensive than the market giants, with less than 200 content to watch. But because it offers diversified programs aimed at adults , that it produces its own original series and that it also invests in exclusives , it might be worth looking into. The problem:shows flagships acquired by the company cannot be accessed from France, as the broadcasting rights are currently held by another broadcaster in France.
