StarzPlay, the understated premium streaming service from the Starz network, is expanding worldwide and steadily building its subscriber base. Here's a comprehensive overview of what it offers.
Subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) services continue to grow, with household names like Netflix, Prime Video, OCS, and Disney+ leading the pack. Lesser-known gems like StarzPlay, launched by the U.S. cable channel Starz (home to hits like Power, Spartacus, and Outlander) and powered by Lionsgate, offer unique value. Often available as an add-on channel in Amazon's service, it launched its standalone app in France in 2019.
To access StarzPlay, subscribe for a 14-day free trial, then €4.99 per month. This affordable rate suits its curated catalog—less vast than competitors but packed with standout content. It provides fewer viewing and subtitle language options and serves as a strong complementary service, akin to France's Salto.
Boasting fewer than 200 titles, StarzPlay excels with adult-focused, diverse programming, original series, and exclusives. However, some flagship shows are unavailable in France due to local broadcasting rights.
