Starz and BritBox have launched a complementary that allows new customers the ability to access both digital platforms easily from a single subscription through STARZ.com.

It’s a first-of-its-kind for the platform that provides customers with a seamless way to access the libraries from both networks.

“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.”

The direct-to-consumer bundle is priced at $14.99/month – a 25% saving on both apps.

Starz subscribers will soon have the opportunity to curate a personalised bundle based their individual entertainment preferences.

Premiering on Starz this week is dark comedic drama series Sweetpea, starring Ella Purnell as a seemingly ordinary woman living a dangerous double life. Also availavle are gripping new drama Three Women, starring Shailene Woodley and Betty Gilpin, and the highly anticipated Season 7B premiere of the time-traveling series Outlander, starring Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe, on November 22.
